There's a link to submit a comment here: https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FSIS-2023-0028-0007?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2WHU2tkWdHi9ZeQUxcI_GyQlYpArFh2at0YLEkkxbldTirdF22qdqrcUU_aem_w5uRu54nKUyXz7LtMtWY8g
Here's is a suggested verbiage that you can easily copy & paste for your comment:
"As a consumer of locally raised and slaughtered poultry I am against the Proposed Salmonella Framework on Raw Poultry.
This proposed solution is not effective at addressing the concerns of consumers for safe or clean poultry. Please go back and listen to the stakeholder comments to draft a new solution that allows consumers to maintain private ownership of their poultry and ensures access to non-chemically sterilized poultry if desired.”
