  <title><![CDATA[  United States Standards for Grades of Frozen Okra ]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2007-12-12-E7-24058</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) of the Department of 
Agriculture (USDA) is soliciting comments on the proposed revision to 
the United States Standards for Grades of Frozen Okra. AMS received a 
petition from the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI) requesting that 
USDA revise the standards for frozen okra from a ``score point'' 
grading system to an ``individual attribute'' grading system. The 
individual attribute grading system uses sample sizes and acceptable 
quality levels (AQL's), along with tolerances and acceptance numbers 
(number of allowable defects), to determine the quality level of a lot. 
This change was requested to bring the standards for frozen okra in 
line with the present quality levels being marketed today and to 
provide guidance in the effective utilization of frozen okra.
