ESRPS项目概述 鉴于爱荷华州鸡蛋处理行业的巨大影响， 饲料/食品安全的科学原则对保护爱荷华州人和消费者至关重要 在全国和全世界。此外，主席还提供了一个重要的重点， 国会通过了《食品安全现代化法案》， （FSMA）。同样，在爱荷华州，我们发现对食品安全的兴趣增加了。 由于国会通过了FSMA，主席团已经确定，我们将不再能够 以跟上越来越多的问题和要求提供援助和发言， 关于鸡蛋安全的问题。作为ESRPS合作协议选项的一部分， 该局正在申请资金，以帮助回答这些问题。局里会雇一个新员工 监督这项奋进还必须调整现有工作人员的职责， ESRPS的资金，在这个赠款开始，让该计划组织。继续这一 奋进是绝对必要的，以满足有兴趣增加价值的所有爱荷华州的需求 农产品。然而，目前国家的资源不足以应对 整个爱荷华州的鸡蛋处理者和消费者不断增长的需求。 主席团预计，参与这一合作协定将产生重大影响， 提高爱荷华州的检查质量和检查员的鸡蛋和生物安全知识 鸡蛋处理设施。这将通过以下方式获得： ·国家将实现并保持显著到完全符合鸡蛋安全 监管计划标准（ESRPS）; ·国家已经并将继续通过年度面对面会议积极参与（如果 （适用）并参与支持ESRPS的委员会; ·国家已经并将合作制定战略，并与下列各方分享这些战略： FDA、州、县和地方机构; ·国家将与FDA合作，为采取监管行动奠定基础。 根据州鸡蛋处理设施的州检查结果;以及 ·国家将努力通过以下措施进一步加强其保护公众健康的能力： 制定和实施标准改进项目。 本项目的目标是实现完全一致性。至少，如果没有重大意外 困难，将实现与ESRPS的显著一致性。.

ESRPS Project Summary Narrative Given the large impact of Iowa's egg handling industry, providing high quality inspections based on the scientific principles of feed/food safety is paramount to protecting Iowans and consumers throughout the nation and world. Furthermore, the President has provided a significant level of focus on food safety nationally as has Congress with the passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Similarly, within Iowa we have found an added interest in food safety. Because of the Congress passage of FSMA, the Bureau has identified that we will be no longer able to keep up with the growing number of questions and requests to provide assistance and speak to various groups regarding egg safety. As part of the ESRPS cooperative agreement option, the Bureau is requesting funding to help answer these questions. The Bureau will hire a new employee to oversee this endeavor. It will also be necessary to restructure duties of existing staff, using ESRPS funding, at the beginning of this grant to allow the program to organize. Continuing this endeavor is absolutely essential to meet the needs of Iowans interested in adding value to all agricultural commodities. However, the State's resources are currently not adequate to respond to the growing needs of egg handlers and consumers across Iowa. The Bureau anticipates participation in this cooperative agreement will result in significant enhancement in the quality of inspections and inspectors egg and bio-security knowledge for Iowa's egg handling facilities. This will be obtained by the following: • The State will achieve and sustain significant to full conformance with the Egg Safety Regulatory Program Standards (ESRPS); • The State has and will continue to actively engage through an annual face-to face meeting (if applicable) and participation in committees supporting ESRPS; • The State has and will collaboratively develop strategies and share those strategies with FDA, States, Counties and local agencies; • The State will work with FDA establishing the foundation for pursuing regulatory action based upon the findings of state inspections at state egg handler facilities; and • The State will seek to further enhance its capability to protect public health through development and implementation of Standard Enhancement Projects. The goal of this project is to attain full conformance. At minimum, absent major unforeseen difficulties, significant conformance will be attained with the ESRPS. .
