Animal Health; Meetings 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of public meetings. 

SUMMARY: This is a notice to inform the 

public of three upcoming meetings of 

the Secretary’s Advisory Committee on 

Animal Health. The meetings are being 

organized by the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service to discuss 

matters of animal health, including the 

pending proposed rule implementing 

USDA’s traceability framework and 

establishing an aquaculture 

subcommittee. 

DATES: The meetings will be held March 

4, 2011, May 13, 2011, and July 15, 2011 

from noon to 5 p.m. (eastern time) each 

day. 

ADDRESSES: Each meeting will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Secretary’s Advisory Committee on 

Animal Health (the Committee) advises 

the Secretary of Agriculture on means to 

prevent, conduct surveillance on, 

monitor, control, or eradicate animal 

diseases of national importance. In 

doing so, the Committee will consider 

public health, conservation of natural 

resources, and the stability of livestock 

economies. Among the key animal 

health issues the Committee will help 

the Secretary evaluate will be animal 

disease traceability. 

Animal disease traceability will be the 

primary discussion topic at the meeting 

on March 4, 2011. APHIS has spent 

much of the past year developing a 

framework for animal disease 

traceability in the United States. 

Through the framework, APHIS will 

implement a flexible yet coordinated 

approach to animal disease traceability 

that embraces the strengths and 

expertise of States, Tribes, and 

producers and empowers them to find 

and use the traceability approaches that 

work best for them. 

APHIS has conducted extensive 

outreach on the traceability framework 

and continues to seek input by using the 

Committee. We are developing the 

proposed rule and the traceability 

performance standards collaboratively 

and transparently. This helps us ensure 

that practical animal disease traceability 

options evolve. 

Additional details regarding each 

meeting, including the preliminary and 

final agendas, will be posted on the 

Committee’s Web site at http:// 

www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/ 

acah/ in advance of each meeting.
