the corresponding agricultural products so trading may be facilitated 
and so consumers may be able to obtain products graded and identified 
under USDA programs. The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) carries 
out regulations in 7 CFR Part 56 and 70 which provides a voluntary 
program for grading shell eggs, poultry products and rabbit products on 
the basis of U.S. standards, grades, and weight classes. This program
