The HCRA will work with personnel identified by USDA to develop models of the specific scenarios. Some scenarios may include, but are not limited to: prohibiting the use of bovine intestine for human food, prohibiting the use of vertebral column as a source material in meat or meat food product recovery systems that use pressure to separate beef meat or beef meat food product from bone for cattle older than 24 months. The HCRA will provide the BSE model and documentation to FSIS for distribution to the trainees. FSIS will also coordinate the telephone support to be provided by HCRA.
