9 CFR Part 2 

[Docket No. APHIS–2011–0003] 

RIN 0579–AD57 

Animal Welfare; Retail Pet Stores and 

Licensing Exemptions; Technical 

Amendment 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Final rule; technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: In a final rule published in 

the Federal Register on September 18, 

2013, and effective on November 18, 

2013, we amended the regulations 

concerning the definition of retail pet 

store and related regulations in order to 

ensure that the definition in the 

regulations is consistent with the 

Animal Welfare Act (AWA), thereby 

bringing more pet animals sold at retail 

under the protection of the AWA. As 

part of that action, we raised from three 

to four the maximum number of female 

breeding dogs, cats, or certain other 

animals that a person can maintain and 

be exempted from licensing, as long as 

they sell only the offspring of those 

animals born and raised on their 

premises for pets or exhibition and are 

not otherwise required to obtain a 

license. In the final rule, we overlooked 

raising the number of breeding females 

in one provision in the regulations 

concerning animal purchases by dealers 

and exhibitors. This document corrects 

the oversight. 

DATES: Effective January 23, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final 

rule 1 that was published in the Federal 

Register on September 18, 2013 (78 FR 

57227–57250, Docket No. APHIS–2011– 

0003), and effective on November 18, 

2013, we amended the regulations 

concerning the definition of retail pet 

store and related regulations in order to 

ensure that the definition of retail pet 

store in the regulations is consistent 

with the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), 

thereby bringing more pet animals sold 

at retail under the protection of the 

AWA. 

As part of that action, in § 2.1(a)(3) we 

changed from three to four the 

maximum number of female breeding 

dogs or cats that a person can maintain 

and be exempted from licensing, so long 

as they sell only the offspring of those 

animals born and raised on their 

premises for pets or exhibition and are 

not otherwise required to obtain a 

license. In the final rule, we overlooked 

raising the number of breeding females 

in § 2.132(d) from three to four with 

respect to licensing exemption 

provisions for persons selling cats, dogs, 

or certain other animals to dealers or 

exhibitors. This document corrects the 

oversight.

U.S.-India Bilateral Understanding: 

Additional Revisions to the U.S. Export 

and Reexport Controls Under the 

Export Administration Regulations 

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and 

Security, Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: In this rule, the Bureau of 

Industry and Security (BIS) amends the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(EAR) to further implement the bilateral 

understanding between the United 

States and India announced by 

President Obama and India’s Prime 

Minister Singh on November 8, 2010. 

On January 25, 2011, BIS published the 

first rule in a series of rules to 

implement the bilateral understanding 

between the two countries. These rules 

fulfill the President’s and Prime 

Minister’s commitment to work together 

to strengthen the global nonproliferation 

and export control framework and 

further transform our bilateral export 

control cooperation to realize the full 

potential of the strategic partnership 

between the two countries. Specifically, 

in this rule, to further implement the 

November 8, 2010 bilateral 

understanding, BIS removes license 

requirements for certain items 

controlled for crime control and 

regional stability reasons to India. BIS 

also makes conforming changes in this 

rule. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 23, 

2015.
