Brucellosis Class Free States and 

Certified Brucellosis-Free Herds; 

Revisions to Testing and Certification 

Requirements 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: In a final rule that was 

published in the Federal Register on 

November 10, 2014, and effective on 

December 10, 2014, we adopted, with 

changes, an interim rule that amended 

the brucellosis regulations to, among 

other things, reduce the age at which 

most cattle and domestic bison are 

included in herd blood tests. In that 

amendment we intended to include all 

sexually intact cattle and domestic 

bison 18 months of age or older in herd 

blood tests, however we inadvertently 

omitted the words ‘‘or older.’’ This 

document corrects that error. 

DATES: Effective February 3, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final 

rule 1 published in the Federal Register 

on November 10, 2014 (79 FR 66591– 

66597, Docket No. APHIS–2009–0083), 

with an effective date of December 10, 

2014, we adopted, with changes, an 

interim rule 1 that amended the 

brucellosis regulations in 9 CFR part 78 

to, among other things, reduce the age 

at which most cattle and domestic bison 

are included in herd blood tests. In that 

document, we amended the interim rule 

by changing the age at which cattle and 

domestic bison are included in herd 

blood tests from 6 months to 18 months 

of age for all sexually intact cattle and 

domestic bison, except when 

conducting herd blood tests as part of 

affected herd investigations or other 

epidemiological investigations. In that 

amendment, we intended to include all 

sexually intact cattle and domestic 

bison 18 months of age or older in herd 

blood tests. While the language in the 

preamble makes this intention clear, we 

inadvertently omitted the words ‘‘or 

older’’ from the definition for herd 

blood test in § 78.1. We are correcting 

this omission in this technical 

amendment. 

List of Subjects in 9 CFR Part 78

Accordingly, we are amending 9 CFR

[Docket No. APHIS–2004–0108] 

Commuted Traveltime; Correction 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Correcting amendment. 

SUMMARY: In a final rule published in 

the Federal Register on April 1, 2005, 

and effective on April 1, 2005, we 

amended the regulations concerning 

overtime services provided by 

employees of the Agency’s Plant 

Protection and Quarantine and 

Veterinary Services programs by adding 

or amending commuted traveltime 

allowances for travel between certain 

locations in Texas, New Mexico, and 

Mexico. In the final rule, two commuted 

traveltime allowances that should have 

appeared in the ‘‘within the 

metropolitan area’’ column were 

erroneously printed in the ‘‘outside the 

metropolitan area’’ column. This 

document corrects those errors. 

DATES: Effective February 3, 2015.
