2. Enhance the grantee's egg regulatory and public health program

3. Share egg regulatory inspection, compliance and enforcement, and laboratory information and data between states and the FDA

4. Better leveraging of state regulatory resources and directing regulatory activities at reducing egg-related illness, attributed to shell egg hazards in facilities that produce, process, pack, hold or transport shell egg and materials/supplies, including those facilities not subject to the Egg Rule.
