§ 40108. Regulations under Federal Act Apply.

(a) Definitions and standards of identity, quality and fill of container

and their amendments, now or hereafter adopted under authority of the

Federal Act are the definitions and standards of identity, quality and fill of

container in this Territory. However, when in his judgment such action will

promote honesty and fair dealing in the interest of consumers, the Director

may promulgate regulations establishing definitions and standards of

identity, quality and fill of container for foods where no Federal regulations

exist. In addition, the Director may promulgate amendments to any Federal

or local regulations which set definitions and standards of identity, and may

promulgate amendments to any Federal or local regulations which set

standards of quality and fill of container for foods.

(b) Temporary permits now or hereafter granted for import of

experimental packs of food varying from the requirements of Federal defini-

tions and standards of identity are automatically effective in this Territory

under the conditions provided in such permits. In addition, the Director may

issue additional permits where they are necessary to the completion of

conclusiveness of an otherwise adequate investigation and where the

interests of consumers are safeguarded. Such permits are subject to the

terms and conditions the Director may prescribe by regulation.
