Classical Swine Fever Status of the Mexican State of Nayarit;  Correction
 
 
 The USDA-APHIS is correcting an  error in its proposed rule to amend the regulations for 
importing animals and animal products by adding the Mexican State of Nayarit to the list of regions considered free of classical swine fever (CSF).  We  would also add Nayarit to the list of CSF-free 
regions whose exports of live swine, pork, and pork products to the United States must meet certain 
certification requirements to ensure  their freedom from CSF.  The pr oposed rule was published in the 
Federal Register on 31 January 2007 (72 FR 4463-4467, Docket No. APHIS 2006-0104). 
 
 On 31 January 2007, USDA-APHIS published in the Federal Register (72 FR 4463-4467, 
Docket No. APHIS-2006-0104) a proposed rule to  amend the regulations for importing animals and 
animal products by adding the Mexican State of Nayarit to the list of regions considered free of 
classical swine fever (CSF).  APHIS would also add Nayarit to the list of CSF-free regions whose exports of live swine, pork, and pork products to the United States must meet certain certification 
requirements to ensure their freedom from CSF.   In the summary of the proposed rule, and in the supplementary information under the heading 
"Executive Order 12866 and Regulato ry Flexibility Act", we stated that we would add Nayarit to the 
list of CSF-affected regions whose exports of live sw ine, pork, and pork products to the United States 
must meet certain certification requirements to ensu re their freedom from CSF.  This information was 
incorrect.  We are proposing to recognize the State of Nayarit as free of this disease, so it should have 
read that we would add the State to the list of C SF-free regions to which those requirements apply.  
This document corrects these errors. 
 
Correction  In FR Doc. E7-1530, published on 31 January  2007 (72 FR 4463-4467) make the following 
corrections:  on page 4463, under Summary, third se ntence, and on page 4466, first column, first full 
sentence, correct "CSF-affected" to read "CSF-free".
