**Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service** 

**9 CFR Parts 93, 94, and 98**
**[Docket No. APHIS–2009–0093]**
**Importation of Live Swine, Swine Semen, Pork, and Pork Products From**  **Liechtenstein and Switzerland**

**AGENCY :**  Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  We are proposing to amend the regulations governing the importation of animals and animal products to add Liechtenstein and Switzerland to the region of Europe that we recognize as low risk for classical swine fever (CSF). We are also proposing to add Liechtenstein to the list of regions we consider free from swine vesicular disease (SVD) and to thelist of regions considered free from footand-mouth disease (FMD) and rinderpest. These proposed actions would relieve some restrictions on the importation into the United States of certain animals and animal products from those regions, while continuing to protect against the introduction of CSF, SVD, FMD, and rinderpest into the United States.
