    fish-Growing Areas; and II: Sanitation of the Harvesting and Processing of Shellfish. This, Part I of the manual, is intended as a guide for the preparation of State shellfish sanita- tion laws and regulations, and for sanitary control of the growing, relaying, and purifica- tion of shellfish. It is intended that States participating in the cooperative State-PHS- Industry program for the certification of in- terstate shellfish shippers will be guided by this manual in exercising sanitary supervi- sion over shellfish growing, relaying, and pu- rification, and in the issuing of certificates to shellfish shippers. The manual will also be used by the Public Health Service in evaluating State shellfish sanitation programs to determine if the pro- grams qualify for endorsement. The provisions of this manual were ac- cepted at the Shellfish Sanitation Workshop held in Washington, November 28-30, 1961, and unless otherwise stated become effective 60 days after publication (67).
