methods for controlling the disease. I respectfully request a copy of the same chart

2022-APHIS-02999-F Webster, Casey Lewis & Clark Law School I am requesting a copy of all written communications, electronic or physical, 

including attachments, between the USDA, APHIS, CVB, and Medgene Labs 

(Medgene) regarding Medgene's rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus serotype 2 

(RHDV2) vaccine and the granting of an Emergency Use Authorization for 

Medgene Lab's RHDV2 vaccine from September 19, 2018 to April 4, 2022 (from 

the first reported RHDV2 case in the U.S. to today). My goal is to understand what 

information was provided to the USDA et. al., by Medgene and vice-versa, what 

interactions Medgene had with the USDA et. al., under what criteria the emergency 

use authorization was granted, and how the authorization was reported to Medgene. 

I understand trade secrets and other commercial sensitive information may be 

redacted. I am requesting a fee waiver as a law student writing about the regulatory 

process of obtaining foreign and domestic animal vaccines, specifically related to 

the U.S. RHDV2 outbreak. Disclosure of the documents is in the public interest, 

especially anyone with domestic animals susceptible to emerging viral diseases. 

Disclosure of the documents is likely to contribute significantly to public 

understanding of the operations and activities of the USDA, APHIS, and CVB. I 

have no commercial interest in the documents. For reference, please see below 

excerpts from Medgene's website describing communications with the USDA and 

CVB and receipt of an emergency use authorization. Medgene Labs, a vaccine and 

immunological services provider based in Brookings, SD, has received emergency 

use authorization for their experimental Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 

(RHDV2) vaccine from the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB). 

Medgene Labs has been working closely with the USDA to provide a U.S.-based 

vaccine option, given vaccines imported from other countries require infecting 

rabbits in the manufacturing process. As part of the emergency use authorization 

process, efficacy has been demonstrated and safety studies are underway. The 

results of these studies supported USDA's decision to grant Emergency Use 

Authorization for the vaccine while further work is ongoing for a full product 

license. We are excited to extend the use of our platform technology and achieve 

emergency use authorization for our RHDV2 vaccine from the USDA. We have 

worked closely with their team since the major outbreak to reach this milestone. 

We are dedicated to helping rabbit owners and veterinarians combat this 

devastating foreign animal disease, stated Chief Executive Officer, Mark Luecke.

diagnostic reports for all positive and negative HPAI tests taken directly from a 

diseased bird, where the bird sample was not first combined with any other sources 

of genetic material (ie., monkey kidney cells). I would also like a copy of the virus 

isolation method SOP for this testing. Please note usage of the term œisolationâ€ is 

in the everyday sense of the word: the act of separating a thing from everything 

else. This is not a request for records in which â€œisolation of HPA refers instead 

to: the culturing of something, or the performance of an amplification test (i.e., a 

PCR test), or the sequencing of something. Please also note that this request is not 

limited to records that were authored by APHIS or that pertain to work done by 

APHIS. This request includes any sort of record, for example (but not limited to) 

any published or peer-reviewed study that APHIS has downloaded or printed. If any 

records match the above description of requested records and are currently 

available to the public elsewhere, please provide enough information about each 

record so that each such record may be identified and accessed with certainty (i.e., 

title, author(s), date, journal where the public may access it). The Weston A. Price

Kowalczik & Susan Rix Kowalczik 21-C-0242 Donald E Fuller 21-C-0283 

Jeanette Rix 21-C-0424 We expect that the USDA will not withhold these records 

pursuant to FOIA Exemption 4 as PETA has successfully appealed such redactions 

in earlier requests for similar records. Exemption 4 exempts from agency disclosure 

only those records that are privileged or confidential and where disclosure would 

create a foreseeable harm to the submitter. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(8), (b)(4). The 

requested information relates to traveling animal exhibitions that are open to the 

public and advertised by the exhibitor or the exhibitâ€TMs host. As such, these 

public records are not confidential in nature and no foreseeable harm would result 

to the submitters if the information were released to PETA. See Food Mktg. Inst. v.
