About 1,350 drivers from
across Agway’s 12-state territory

records of one to 28 years. More
than 55 percent of the award
recipients have completed five or
more years without a preven-
table accident.
Their record of 0.83 accidents
per 100,000 miles was well under
the national average of 1.05 ac
cidents per 100,000 miles for all
truck fleets reporting statistics to
the National Safety Council.
Edward Hartnett of Harrisburg
spoke at the dinner. Agway Area
Manager James Waters and
Petroleum District Manager

Tighter Sterility Requirements
Proposed for Poultry Vaccines
The U.S. Department Of
Agriculture (USDA) proposed a
stricter sterility test for nonin
jectible live virus vaccines, like
those applied by eye dropper,
dabbing, aerosol spray, and in
drinking water.
Officials of USDA’s Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) said the change would
bring sterility test requirements
for noninjectible live virus
vaccines, used almost ex
clusively on poultry, into line
with those covering live virus
54 million miles last year
delivering feed, fertilizer,
petroleum and other supplies to
patrons and carrying farm
products to processing plants,
then to market.
They operate a fleet of 3,000
vehicles ranging from panel
delivery trucks to fertilizer
spreaders to 10-wheel tractor
trailers. Each driver must
complete a formal driver

vaccines that are injected into
livestock and poultry. They noted
that improved manufacturing
procedures justify this proposal
to apply the more stringent test
requirement to all live virus
vaccines.
The more stringent test allows
no tolerance for any bacteria or
fungi in the vaccine; if either
type of contaminant is noted in a
specified test medium, the
vaccine is declared un
satisfactory. Under the old
system, a limited number of
bacteria or fungi were permitted
in noninjectible live virus vac
cines
The proposal affects all
manufacturers licensed by USDA
to produce and sell noninjectible
live virus vaccines-such as
Newcastle and bronchitis vac
cines-across State lines.
Authority for regulating this
trade comes from the Virus-
Serum-Toxin Act of 1913, which
requires USDA to set standards
assuring the safety, purity, and
efficacy of vaccines and other
biologies for animals.
The proposed change was
published in the Federal Register
Feb 9. Interested persons will
have until April 9 to submit
written comments in duplicate
to - Biologies Staff, Veterinary
Services, APHIS, USDA, Federal
Center Bldg. No. 1, Hyattsville,
Md 20782. All comments will be
available for public inspection at
