SPeCIAl COMMItteeS 3-A Committee on Sanitary Procedures recommendations to executive Board: 1. The 3-A Sanitary Standards Inc. has identified a critical need to increase participation in their standards writing process by State Regulators and dairy equipment users. As a part of this effort CSP is proposing an IAFP workshop: “3-A ‘Hands On’ Workshop —Evaluating the Sanitary Design and Construction of Milk Handling and Processing Equipment.” In the course of CSP discussions, a problem was identified in that State regulators seldom attend workshops because of State budget problems. It was noted that in other circumstances where state participation is critical to some larger purpose, government employed are offered a different registration rate in order to encourage the needed participation (in this case to meet a CSP/3-A goal). If this workshop is accepted, we are seeking approval of the IAFP Board to offer a differential registration rate. We suggest $100 for Government, $375 for other attendees. We are proposing this in conjunction with a proposed request to 3-A Inc. regarding use of symbol 3. 4. 5. Journal of Food Protection Management Committee recommendations to executive Board: 1.
