[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 the 

list 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. 

DATES: We will consider all comments 

that we receive on or before July 18, 

2011.
