Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 117 / Friday, June 19, 2009 / Notices 29165 

adding a meeting to the schedule. The 

additional meeting will be held on June 

30, 2009, in Omaha, NE. 

Our goal is to gather feedback and 

input from a wide range of stakeholders 

to assist us in making an informed 

decision regarding both the future of the 

NAIS and the objectives and direction 

for animal identification and 

traceability. We would particularly 

welcome feedback on the following 

topics: 

• Cost. What are your concerns about 

the cost of the NAIS? What steps would 

you suggest APHIS use to address cost? 

• Impact on small farmers. What are 

your concerns about the effect of the 

NAIS on small farmers? What 

approaches would you suggest APHIS 

take to address the potential impact on 

small farmers? 

• Privacy and confidentiality. What 

are your concerns regarding how the 

NAIS will affect your operation’s 

privacy and/or the confidentiality of 

your operation? What steps or tactics 

would you suggest APHIS use to 

address privacy and confidentiality 

issues? 

• Liability. What are your concerns 

about your operation’s liability under 

the NAIS? What would you suggest 

APHIS consider to address liability 

concerns? 

• Premises registration. Do you have 

any suggestions on how to make 

premises registration, or the 

identification of farm or ranch locations, 

easier for stakeholders? How should we 

address your concerns regarding 

premises registration? 

• Animal identification. Do you have 

any suggestions on how to make animal 

identification practical and useful to 

stakeholders while simultaneously 

meeting the needs of animal health 

officials who must conduct disease 

tracebacks? 

• Animal tracing. Do you have any 

suggestions on how to make the animal 

tracing component practical, in 

particular the reporting of animal 

movements to other premises, while 

meeting the needs of animal health 

officials who must conduct disease 

tracebacks?
