   that renderers, manufacturers, and blenders that  manufacture,  blend,      
   or  distribute  products  that  contain or may contain protein derived      
   from mammalian tissues and that are intended for use  in  animal  feed

   Act and may, at each inspection, inspect for other violations  of  the      
   Act.   Exempts  facilities that do not handle, mix, process, blend, or

   ruminants  if  these  facilities  annually  submit an affidavit to the      
   Department so stating.  Sets a  3-year  sunset  date  for  the  90-day      
   inspection  requirements.   Provides that a commercial feed containing

   or a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, is an  adulterated  feed      
   subject  to  the  Act's  ban on the distribution of adulterated feeds.

   commercial  feed  or  feed  ingredient containing protein derived from      
   mammalian tissues, at least twice per year in the case of a  rendering      
   facility  and  at  least  annually  in  the  case of other facilities.
