  33. Recap of Current Egg Standard Cooperative Agreement – Program Objectives • To develop recommendations for elements of a National Egg Regulatory Program Standard for state egg regulatory programs using the MFRPS and AFRPS as guidance • To develop information sharing techniques and systems between FDA and states • To encourage joint inspections between FDA and states • Participating Grantees – CA and IA

  34. National Regulatory Program Standards Elements

  35. Egg Standard Cooperative Agreement ProgramNext Steps • FDA will allow the current Egg CAP to end this summer and focus on development of standards • Collaborate with NERO to facilitate a more effective long-term approach to developing and maintaining standards • Leadership support moving forward • Build on lessons learned and recommendations from pilot states (CA and IA) • Engagement of necessary stakeholders (e.g., NERO, states, FDA, others) • Determine process for development, consensus and timelines • Determine ownership of the standards • Develop communication and education strategies to support the standards

  36. Egg Standard Cooperative Agreement ProgramNext Steps • Workgroup could immediately begin developed to create the process and standards • OP could fund travel for workgroup meetings, as necessary • Decision to develop a new FOA could be made in summer 2019 • Cooperative agreement funding could be made available as early as summer 2021. Dependent on • Annual appropriations • Participation estimates – number of participating states and their funding needs • Commitment and support of NERO members to assist in the development of the standards
