53 Issued August 7, 1922. United States. Department of Agriculture. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY-Circular 21, Eighth Revision. RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE FEDERAL FOOD AND DRUGS ACT. INTRODUCTION. The accompanying rules and regulations for the enforcement of the food and drugs act of June 30, 1906, as amended, supersede those previously promulgated. Under date of October 17, 1906, 40 rules and regulations for the enforcement of the act were adopted. These original 40 regulations have been amended and modified from time to time by subsequent decisions, but heretofore their numerical order has not been changed. The present revision contains but 31 regulations. A few of the original regulations have been dropped, several new regulations have been added, and the numerical order has been changed. In order to prevent confusion in consulting publications of the department relating to the enforcement of the act which were issued prior to July 1, 1922, there is appended a list of the numbers of the new regulations with the corresponding numbers in the original regulations where there are such corresponding regulations. Where reference is made to a regulation by number in any publication of the department relating to the act issued prior to July 1, 1922, the corresponding number in the new regulations may be obtained from this list. Detailed information regarding import procedure under the act has been published in Food Inspection Decision 183, issued April 6, 1922. The regulations in Food Inspection Decision 183 differ in no material way from those contained in the present regulations, but set forth the procedure in greater detail. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20, 1922. 111640°-22 HENRY C. WALLACE, |
