9 CFR Part 77

[Docket No. 98–081–1]

Tuberculosis in Cattle and Bison; State

Designation; Michigan

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health

Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Interim rule and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: We are amending the

tuberculosis regulations concerning the

interstate movement of cattle and bison

by reducing the designation of Michigan

from an accredited-free State to an

accredited-free (suspended) State. We

have determined that Michigan no

longer meets the criteria for designation

as an accredited-free State but meets the

criteria for designation as an accreditedfree (suspended) State. This change is

necessary to prevent the spread of

tuberculosis in cattle and bison.

DATES: Interim rule effective August 13,

1998. Consideration will be given only

to comments received on or before

October 13, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Please send an original and

three copies of your comments to

Docket No. 98–081–1, Regulatory

Analysis and Development, PPD,

APHIS, Suite 3C03, 4700 River Road,

Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737–1238.

Please state that your comments refer to

Docket No. 98–081–1. Comments

received may be inspected at USDA,

room 1141, South Building, 14th Street

and Independence Avenue SW.,

Washington, DC, between 8 a.m. and

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,

except holidays. Persons wishing to

inspect comments are requested to call

ahead on (202) 690–2817 to facilitate

entry into the comment reading room.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Bovine tuberculosis is the contagious,

infectious, and communicable disease

caused by Mycobacterium bovis. The

tuberculosis regulations contained in 9

CFR part 77 (referred to below as the

regulations), regulate the interstate

movement of cattle and bison because of

tuberculosis. Cattle and bison not

known to be affected with or exposed to

tuberculosis are eligible for interstate

movement without restriction if those

cattle or bison are moved from

jurisdictions designated as accreditedfree States, accredited-free (suspended)

States, or modified accredited States.

The regulations restrict the interstate

movement of cattle or bison not known

to be affected with or exposed to

tuberculosis if those cattle or bison are

moved from jurisdictions designated as

nonmodified accredited States.

The status of a State is based on its

freedom from evidence of tuberculosis,

the effectiveness of the State’s

tuberculosis eradication program, and

the degree of the State’s compliance

with the standards contained in a

document captioned ‘‘Uniform Methods

and Rules—Bovine Tuberculosis

Eradication’’ (UMR), which is

incorporated by reference into the

regulations.

An accredited-free State, as defined in

77.1 of the regulations, is a State that

has no findings of tuberculosis in any

cattle or bison in the State for at least

5 years. The State must also comply

with all the provisions of the UMR

regarding accredited-free States.

An accredited-free (suspended) State

is defined as a State with accredited-free

status in which tuberculosis has been

detected in any cattle or bison in the

State. A State with accredited-free

(suspended) status is qualified for

redesignation as an accredited-free State

after the herd in which tuberculosis is

detected has been quarantined, an

epidemiological investigation has

confirmed that the disease has not

spread from the herd, and all reactor

cattle and bison have been destroyed.

However, if tuberculosis is detected in

two or more herds in the State within

48 months, the State’s accredited-free

status is revoked.
