The proposed amendment will decrease the time limit harvesters have to deliver oysters to a certified shellfish dealer during the months of June, July, August, and September from the existing limit of within six (6) hours of the time of harvest to a proposed limit of within five (5) hours of time of harvest. The proposed amendment adds the option for a certified shellfish dealer to label shellfish “For Cooking Only” if the time and temperature requirements of this rule are not met. Additionally, this rule adds the option of Post Harvest Processing if the time and temperature requirements of this rule are not met.
