DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Animal and Plant Health Inspection 

Service 

[Docket No. APHIS–2020–0033] 

Determination of the Newcastle 

Disease Status of the Cantons of 

Neuchaˆtel and Ticino of Switzerland 

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health 

Inspection Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: We are advising the public 

that we are reinstating the animal health 

status of the Cantons of Neuchaˆtel and 

Ticino in Switzerland as free of 

Newcastle disease. This recognition is 

based on an assessment we prepared 

and made available for public review 

and comment. 

DATES: This change of disease status 

will be recognized on January 20, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONACT: Dr. 

Rebecca Gordon, Import Risk Analyst, 

Regionalization Evaluation Services, 

Strategy & Policy, Veterinary Services, 

APHIS, USDA, 920 Main Campus Drive, 

Suite 200, Raleigh, NC 27606; 

AskRegionalization@usda.gov; (919) 

855–7741. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

regulations in 9 CFR part 94 govern the 

importation of animal products into the 

United States in order to ensure that the 

products do not introduce or spread 

diseases or pests of livestock, including 

Newcastle disease (ND). Section 94.6 

contains requirements governing the 

importation of carcasses, meat, parts or 

products of carcasses, and eggs (other 

than hatching eggs) of poultry, game 

birds, or other birds from regions in 

which ND is considered to exist. The 

section provides that the Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

will maintain a list on the internet of 

regions in which ND is not known to 

exist. It further provides that, should a 

region be removed from the list due to 

an outbreak, APHIS will reinstate the 

region to the list in accordance with the 

procedures in 9 CFR 92.4. 

Section 92.4 provides that after 

removing disease-free status from all or 

part of a region, APHIS may reassess the 

disease situation in that region to 

determine whether it is necessary to 

continue import prohibitions or 

restrictions. When reassessing the 

region’s disease status, APHIS considers 

the standards of the World Organization 

for Animal Health (OIE) 1 for 

reinstatement of disease-free status, as 

well as all relevant information obtained 

through publicly available means or 

collected by or submitted to APHIS 

through other means. Prior to removing 

import prohibitions or restrictions, 

APHIS makes the information regarding 

its assessment of the region’s disease 

status available to the public for 

comment through a notice published in 

the Federal Register. 

In accordance with the process for 

reinstatement, we published a notice 2

in the Federal Register on October 26, 

2020 (85 FR 67705, Docket No. APHIS– 

2020–0033) announcing the availability 

for review and comment of our 

evaluation of the ND status of the 

Cantons of Neuchaˆtel and Ticino. Based 

on this evaluation, APHIS concluded 

that Switzerland has effectively 

controlled and eradicated ND in its 

domestic poultry population in the 

Cantons of Neuchaˆtel and Ticino. 

APHIS also concluded that competent 

veterinary authorities of the Cantons 

have adequate disease control measures 

in place to rapidly identify, control, and 

eradicate the disease should it be 

reintroduced into Switzerland. 

Therefore, APHIS recommended that 

the Cantons Neuchaˆtel and Ticino 

should be reinstated onto the list of 

regions in which ND is not known to 

exist. 

We solicited comments on the notice 

for 60 days ending December 28, 2020. 

We received no comments by that date. 

We are therefore reinstating the 

animal health status of the Cantons of 

Neuchaˆtel and Ticino as free of ND.
