suggested methods for complying with 

the requirements in 9 CFR parts 55 and 

81. 

During the October 2012 U.S. Animal 

Health Association meeting, a resolution 

was passed asking APHIS to work with 

cervid industry stakeholders to revise 

the CWD Program Standards. 

Accordingly, we convened a group of 

State, laboratory, and industry 

representatives to receive their input on 

potential revisions. The group met from 

November 2012 to June 2013 to 

completely review the CWD Program 

Standards. The revised draft, which is 

based on those discussions, is intended 

to provide more detailed guidance to 

States and herd owners who are seeking 

to participate in the Federal CWD herd 

certification program. As we believe the 

collaborative process has been helpful 

in revising the CWD Program Standards, 

we plan to work with State, laboratory, 

and industry representatives to review 

the standards at least once a year. 

The new draft of the CWD Program 

Standards can be viewed at the CWD 

Web site, http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ 

animal_health/animal_diseases/cwd/, 

or on Regulations.gov (see the 

ADDRESSES section earlier in this 

document for instructions on how to 

access Regulations.gov). 

We welcome public comment on this 

notice and the proposed revisions to the 

CWD Program Standards. After 

considering all comments, if no 

substantive changes to the CWD 

Program Standards are deemed 

necessary by the APHIS Administrator, 

the revised CWD Program Standards 

will be adopted as final 30 days after the 

close of the comment period for this 

notice. If substantive changes are 

deemed necessary, we will publish an 

additional document in the Federal 

Register to discuss them; otherwise, the 

final version of the revised CWD 

Program Standards will be announced 

and made available on the CWD Web 

site.

December 2013.
