Agriculture's (USDA's) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 
(APHIS) is rescinding the system of records notice, Brucellosis

studies; State and Federal personnel; contractual personnel; livestock

    The records previously maintained in the Brucellosis Information 
System and Brucellosis Recording and Reporting System are now 
maintained within the Animal Health, Disease, and Pest Surveillance and

protecting and improving the health, quality, and marketability of 
animals within the United States and response to animal health

    Rescinding the Brucellosis Information System and Brucellosis 
Recording and Reporting System will have no adverse impacts on 
individuals as the records are covered by and maintained under the

This notice hereby rescinds the Brucellosis Information System and 
Brucellosis Recording and Reporting System of records notice as
