In a move to modernize and adapt to changes in the industry, NOAA Fisheries’ Office of International Affairs, Trade, and Commerce has unveiled revisions to the implementing regulations of the Seafood Inspection Program.
Since their last substantial update in 1971, the current regulations have not kept pace with the seafood industry’s evolving landscape and the program’s expanding role. Recognizing this gap, NOAA aims to streamline inspection processes through a comprehensive modernization effort.
NOAA anticipates a reduction in complexity and time associated with administrative and inspection-related procedures, protocols, and specifications requirements. They will retain the validity of inspection and certification results, saving time for industry stakeholders.
