AMS is committed to complying with 

the E-Government Act, to promote the 

use of the internet and other 

information technologies to provide 

increased opportunities for citizen 

access to Government information and 

services, and for other purposes. 

This rule will not impose any 

additional reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements on either small or large 

tart cherry handlers. As with all Federal 

marketing order programs, reports and 

forms are periodically reviewed to 

reduce information requirements and 

duplication by industry and public 

sector agencies. In addition, as noted in 

the initial regulatory flexibility analysis, 

USDA has not identified any relevant 

Federal rules that duplicate, overlap or 

conflict with this rule. 

Further, the Board’s meeting was 

widely publicized and all Board 

members and alternate Board members, 

representing both large and small 

entities, were invited to attend the 

meeting and participate in Board 

deliberations. The Board itself is 

composed of 19 members, of which 18 

members are growers and handlers and 

one represents the public. Also, the 

Board has a number of appointed 

committees to review certain issues and 

make recommendations. 

An interim final concerning this 

action was published in the Federal 

Register on December 15, 2008 (73 FR 

75927). Copies of the rule were mailed 

by the Board’s staff to all Board 

members, producers, handlers, and 

other interested persons. In addition, 

the rule was made available through the 

Internet by USDA and the Office of the 

Federal Register. That rule provided a 

60-day comment period which ended 

February 13, 2009. No comments were 

received.

ACTION: Interim rule and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: We are amending the bovine 

tuberculosis regulations to establish two 

separate zones with different 

tuberculosis risk classifications for the 

State of New Mexico. The entire State of 

New Mexico has been classified as 

modified accredited advanced; however, 

all its affected herds are located in a 

small area along the State’s eastern 

border. We have determined that New 

Mexico meets our requirements for zone 

classification. Therefore, we are 

removing New Mexico from the list of 

modified accredited advanced States, 

adding an area consisting of Curry and 

Roosevelt Counties, NM, to the list of 

modified accredited advanced zones, 

and adding the remainder of the State to 

the list of accredited-free zones. This 

action relieves restrictions on the 

interstate movement of cattle and bison 

from these areas of New Mexico outside 

of the modified accredited advanced 

zone in two counties.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Bovine tuberculosis is a contagious 

and infectious granulomatous disease 

caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium 

bovis. Although commonly defined as a 

chronic debilitating disease, bovine 

tuberculosis can occasionally assume an 

acute, rapidly progressive course. While 

any body tissue can be affected, lesions 

are most frequently observed in the 

lymph nodes, lungs, intestines, liver, 

spleen, pleura, and peritoneum. 

Although cattle are considered to be the 

true hosts of M. bovis, the disease has 

been reported in several other species of 

both domestic and nondomestic 

animals, as well as in humans. 

At the beginning of the past century, 

tuberculosis caused more losses of 

livestock than all other livestock 

diseases combined. This prompted the 

establishment in the United States of the 

National Cooperative State/Federal 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES
12056 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 54 / Monday, March 23, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication 

Program for tuberculosis in livestock. 

In carrying out the national 

eradication program, the Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

issues and enforces regulations. The 

regulations require the testing of cattle 

and bison for tuberculosis, define the 

Federal tuberculosis status levels for 

States or zones (accredited-free, 

modified accredited advanced, modified 

accredited, accreditation preparatory, 

and nonaccredited), provide the criteria 

for attaining and maintaining those 

status levels, and contain testing and 

movement requirements for cattle and 

bison leaving States or zones of a 

particular status level. These regulations 

are contained in 9 CFR part 77 (referred 

to below as the regulations) and in the 

Bovine Tuberculosis Eradication 

Uniform Methods and Rules, 1999, 

which is incorporated by reference into 

the regulations. 

Conditions for Zone Classification 

Under §§ 77.3 and 77.4 of the 

regulations, in order to qualify for zone 

classification by APHIS, a State must 

meet the following requirements: 

1. The State must have adopted and 

must be enforcing regulations that 

impose restrictions on the intrastate 

movement of cattle, bison, and captive 

cervids that are substantially the same 

as those in place in part 77 for the 

interstate movement of those animals. 

2. The designation of part of a State 

as a zone must otherwise be adequate to 

prevent the interstate spread of 

tuberculosis. 

3. The zones must be delineated by 

the animal health authorities in the 

State making the request for zone 

classification and must be approved by 

the APHIS Administrator. 

4. The request for zone classification 

must demonstrate that the State has the 

legal and financial resources to 

implement and enforce a tuberculosis 

eradication program and has in place 

the infrastructure, laws, and regulations 

to require and ensure that State and 

Federal animal health authorities are 

notified of tuberculosis cases in 

domestic livestock or outbreaks in 

wildlife. 

5. The request for zone classification 

must demonstrate that the State 

maintains, in each intended zone, 

clinical and epidemiological 

surveillance of animal species at risk of 

tuberculosis, at a rate that allows 

detection of tuberculosis in the overall 

population of livestock at a 2 percent 

prevalence rate with 95 percent 

confidence. The designated tuberculosis 

epidemiologist must review reports of 

all testing for each zone within the State 

within 30 days of the testing. 

6. The State must enter into a 

memorandum of understanding with 

APHIS in which the State agrees to 

adhere to any conditions for zone 

recognition particular to that request. 

Request for Zone Classification in New 

Mexico 

In an interim rule effective and 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 11, 2008 (73 FR 52775– 

52777, Docket No. APHIS–2008–0068), 

we amended the bovine tuberculosis 

regulations by adding New Mexico to 

the list of modified accredited advanced 

States. Prior to the publication of the 

September 2008 interim rule, portions 

of Curry and Roosevelt Counties, NM, 

had been classified as a modified 

accredited advanced zone, and the rest 

of the State of New Mexico was 

classified as accredited-free. We 

reclassified the entire State of New 

Mexico as a modified accredited 

advanced State because two affected 

herds had been detected in New 

Mexico’s accredited-free zone since 

April 2007. Both of the affected herds 

were located in Curry County, outside 

the modified accredited advanced zone, 

along a portion of New Mexico’s eastern 

border with Arizona. No tuberculosisaffected herds were found in the 

remainder of the State. Therefore, we 

have received from the State of New 

Mexico a request for zone classification 

for bovine tuberculosis. 

According to the regulations, if bovine 

tuberculosis is detected in a portion of 

a State, the State may request split-State 

status via partitioning into specific 

geographic regions or zones with 

differential status designations. With 

regard to cattle and bison, State animal 

health officials in New Mexico have 

demonstrated to APHIS that New 

Mexico, excluding Curry and Roosevelt 

Counties, meets the criteria for 

accredited-free status set forth in the 

definition of accredited-free State or 

zone in § 77.5 of the regulations. 

Based on our evaluation of New 

Mexico’s request in light of the criteria 

set forth in the regulations, we have 

determined that New Mexico meets the 

requirements listed above for zone 

classification and that, except for Curry 

and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico 

meets the criteria for accredited-free 

status set forth in the definition of 

accredited-free State or zone in § 77.5. 

Therefore, we are classifying two zones 

in New Mexico as follows: 

• The modified accredited advanced 

zone, which is the smaller of the two, 

consists of the New Mexico counties of 

Curry and Roosevelt. 

• The accredited-free zone consists of 

all of the State of New Mexico except for 

Curry and Roosevelt Counties. 

Immediate Action 

Immediate action is warranted to 

relieve restrictions on the interstate 

movement of cattle and bison from the 

newly classified accredited-free zone in 

New Mexico. Under these 

circumstances, the Administrator has 

determined that prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment are 

contrary to the public interest and that 

there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553 

for making this action effective less than 

30 days after publication in the Federal 

Register. 

We will consider comments we 

receive during the comment period for 

this interim rule (see DATES above). 

After the comment period closes, we 

will publish another document in the 

Federal Register. The document will 

include a discussion of any comments 

we receive and any amendments we are 

making to the rule. 

Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory 

Flexibility Act 

This rule has been reviewed under 

Executive Order 12866. For this action, 

the Office of Management and Budget 

has waived its review under Executive 

Order 12866. 

In accordance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act, we have analyzed the 

potential economic effects of this action 

on small entities. 

New Mexico has been listed as a 

modified accredited advanced State for 

bovine tuberculosis. This interim rule 

removes New Mexico from the list of 

modified accredited advanced States, 

adds an area in the eastern portion of 

the State to the list of modified 

accredited advanced zones, and adds 

the remainder of the State to the list of 

accredited-free zones. Modified 

accredited advanced status entails 

various restrictions on interstate 

movement of cattle. Reclassification to 

accredited-free status reduces or 

removes specific testing requirements. 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act requires 

agencies to evaluate the potential effects 

of proposed and final rules on small 

businesses, small organizations, and 

small governmental jurisdictions. 

Section 605 of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act allows an agency to certify that a 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Following is 

the factual basis for such certification in 

this case.

Description and Estimate of Small 

Entities Affected by the Interim Rule 

Entities that will be directly affected 

by the rule are New Mexico beef and 

dairy farms that engage in interstate 

movement of certain types of cattle. 

Operations in the accredited-free zone 

will benefit from reduced costs 

associated with bovine tuberculosis 

testing. 

The cattle industry plays an important 

role in New Mexico’s economy. There 

were 7,300 cattle and calf operations in 

New Mexico in 2008 with a total 

inventory of 1.53 million head. About 

77 percent of the State’s cattle are 

located in what will be the accreditedfree zone.1 State-wide cash receipts 

from cattle and calves and dairy 

products totaled $951 million and $1.4 

billion, respectively, in 2007. Eight-year 

average (2000–2007) cash receipts for 

cattle and calves and dairy products 

were $858 million and $905 million, 

respectively.2

The Small Business Administration 

(SBA) has established guidelines for 

determining which businesses are 

considered small. According to the 

SBA’s size standards for beef cattle 

ranching and farming (North American 

Industry Classification System [NAICS] 

112111) and for dairy cattle and milk 

production (NAICS 112120), operations 

with not more than $750,000 in annual 

sales are considered small entities. The 

vast majority of beef operations in New 

Mexico are considered small, while 

most dairy operations are not. In 2007, 

more than 97 percent of cattle and calf 

farms generated less than $500,000 in 

cash receipts, and less than 1 percent 

generated $1 million or more. Only 

about 27 percent of dairy farms 

generated less than $500,000 in cash 

receipts and about 71 percent generated 

$1 million or more.3 The composition of 

New Mexico’s cattle inventory is shown 

in table 1.

Expected Effects of the Rule 

New Mexico has been listed as a 

modified accredited advanced State. 

This rule reclassifies nearly all of the 

State as accredited-free. The 

reclassification of an area to accreditedfree status from modified accredited 

advanced status removes certain 

interstate movement restrictions for 

cattle capable of breeding. These 

restrictions include a negative bovine 

tuberculosis test within 60 days of the 

interstate movement of sexually intact 

cattle and bison from a herd without 

accredited status. This testing 

requirement will no longer apply to 

cattle moving out of the accredited-free 

zone. 

Cattle herd owners in the accreditedfree zone will see a reduction in premovement bovine tuberculosis testing 

requirements as a result of this rule and 

will therefore benefit from reduced costs 

associated with that bovine tuberculosis 

testing. The majority of cattle herds in 

New Mexico are located in areas that are 

reclassified as accredited-free in this 

rule and are therefore likely to benefit. 

As a result of this rule, breeding cattle 

moving interstate from non-accredited 

herds in the accredited-free zone no 

longer require a negative bovine 

tuberculosis test within 60 days of 

movement. According to the State of 

New Mexico, 84,398 cattle were moved 

out of New Mexico for breeding 

purposes in 2008.4 Just under half 

(42,081) of these animals were moved 

interstate from the area that is 

reclassified to accredited-free status in 

this rule. Bovine tuberculosis testing, 

including veterinary fees, costs about 

$10 to $15 per head. Based on these 

costs per animal, we expect annual cost 

savings associated with reduced testing 

of breeding cattle moving out of the 

State to total between $420,810 and 

$631,215. The more a herd owner in the 

accredited-free zone engages in the 

interstate movement of breeding cattle, 

the greater will be savings associated 

with the reduction in movement 

restrictions. 

A large number of the cattle herds in 

the State will see a reduction in premovement bovine tuberculosis testing 

requirements as a result of this rule, and 

will therefore benefit from reduced costs 

associated with that bovine tuberculosis 

testing. However, bovine tuberculosis 

testing costs are small when compared 

to the value of the cattle tested, and the 

expected savings therefore are also 

relatively small. On January 1, 2007, 

beef cattle in New Mexico had an 

average per animal value of $1,060.5

The average value of dairy cattle is 

considerably higher, given the value of 

milk produced. The savings in bovine 

tuberculosis testing costs represent no 

more than about 1.4 percent of the 

average per-head value of beef cattle in 

New Mexico ($15/$1,060) and an even 

smaller percentage of the average value 

of dairy cattle in the State. Thus, while 

herd owners engaged in interstate 

movement of feeding and breeding 


dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES
12058 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 54 / Monday, March 23, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

cattle will benefit from time savings and 

reduced costs associated with bovine 

tuberculosis testing, however, the 

savings will be relatively small. 

Under these circumstances, the 

Administrator of the Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service has 

determined that this action will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities.
