Statistical Quality 

 Control Plan 

 Available 



USDA has developed a Variables Control 

 Chart Plan, which uses statistical principles 

 to measure the various factors that establish 

 the quality or value of a product. This plan, 

 which is part of the Department's effort to 

 integrate new concepts of product control 

 with its standardization and inspection pro- 

 gram, is available for use by processors. 

 You can get details of the plan and find out 

 how it can fit into your quality control pro- 

 gram by contacting the Washington, D. C, 

 office of the Inspection Service 



Inspection Fees 



Inspection is available to financially inter- 

 ested parties on a fee-for-service basis. The 

 fees are assessed at specific rates, designed 

 to cover the cost of the service. 



How You Can Get Inspection Service 



You can get inspection service by directing 

 a request to the Washington, D. C„ office of 

 the Inspection Service, or to the field office 

 serving the area in which the merchandise 

 is located.
