SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA) is 

currently developing a new, flexible 

framework for animal disease 

traceability in the United States. In 

keeping with its commitment to 

partnering with States, Tribal Nations, 

and industry to address many of the 

details of the infrastructure of this 

program, including possible regulations, 

the USDA took the initial step of hosting 

a State/Tribal forum on animal disease 

traceability in Kansas City, MO, on 

March 18 and 19, 2010. Information on 

the proceedings of the State/Tribal 

forum is available to the public for 

review and comment at (http:// 

www.aphis.usda.gov/traceability/forum/

several public meetings to discuss 

animal disease traceability. The

City, UT, and Fort Worth, TX, on May 

11, May 13, May 17, June 24, and July

form the animal disease traceability 

rule. 

Written statements on meeting topics,
