Child and Adult Care Food Program

and Infant Meal Patterns; Correction

AGENCY: Food and Nutrition Service,

USDA.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY: This document contains a

correction to the infant meal pattern

tables that appear in the current edition

of the Code of Federal Regulations that

appear under 7 CFR parts 210 and 226.

This error first appeared in an interim

rule published in the Federal Register

on November 15, 1999 (64 FR 61770).

This document also contains corrections

to the meal pattern tables for suppers

and supplemental foods that appear in

7 CFR part 226. The errors first

appeared in a final rule published in the

Federal Register on March 9, 2000 (65

FR 12429).

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 20, 2001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Need for Correction

The regulatory text in

§§ 210.10(o)(2)(iii)(B) and 226.20(b)(4)

indicates that servings of cottage cheese,

cheese food, and cheese spread in the

lunch pattern for infants are measured

in ounces. In an interim rule published

in the Federal Register on November 15,

1999 (64 FR 61770), the infant meal

pattern tables that appear in

§§ 210.10(o)(2) and 226.20(b)(4)

incorrectly refer to tablespoons instead

of ounces. This document corrects the

tables to indicate that a serving of

cottage cheese, cheese food, or cheese

spread is to be measured in ounces.

In a final rule published in the

Federal Register on March 9, 2000 (65

FR 12429), the meal pattern table in

§ 226.20(c)(3) contained incorrect

information for the fluid milk

requirement for adult participants

receiving suppers under the Child and

Adult Care Food Program. The meal

pattern table in § 226.20(c)(4) contained

incorrect amounts of meat and meat

alternates that may be offered as part of

a reimbursable snack. This document

corrects these errors.

Interstate Movement of Swine Within a

Production System

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health

Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: We are amending the

regulations to establish an alternative to

the current requirements for moving

swine interstate. Under this alternative,

persons may move swine interstate

without meeting individual swine

identification and certain other

requirements if they move the swine

within a single swine production

system, and if each swine production

system signs an agreement with the

Animal and Plant Health Inspection

Service and involved State governments

to monitor the health of animals moving

within the swine production system and

to facilitate traceback of these animals if

necessary. This action will facilitate the

interstate movement of swine while

continuing to provide protection against

the interstate spread of swine diseases.

This action will affect persons engaged

in swine production who regularly

move swine interstate in their business

operations.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 22, 2002.

Arnold Taft, Senior Staff Veterinarian,

APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 43,

Riverdale, MD 20737–1231; (301) 734–

4916.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The regulations in subchapter C of

chapter I, title 9, Code of Federal

Regulations, govern the interstate

movement of animals to prevent the

dissemination of livestock and poultry

diseases in the United States. Parts 71

and 85 (referred to below as the

regulations) are included in subchapter

C. Part 71 relates to the interstate

movement of animals, poultry, and

animal products, and includes animal

identification requirements for swine

moving interstate. Part 85 imposes

requirements to control the spread of

pseudorabies and includes certificate

and other requirements for the interstate

movement of swine.

On September 21, 2000, we published

in the Federal Register (65 FR 57106–

57113, Docket No. 98–023–1) a proposal

to amend the regulations by establishing

an alternative to the current

requirements for moving swine

interstate.

With some exceptions, parts 71 and

85 require swine moving interstate to be

individually identified. As we

explained in our September 2000

proposed rule, these regulations were

written when swine (other than valued

breeding stock) were generally moved

interstate only when a change in

ownership occurred, usually when they

were shipped to slaughter. However,

today swine move interstate while they

are raised for slaughter or breeding

under a swine production system, and

while they remain under the control of

a single owner or group of contractually

related owners.

In order to better accommodate this

new model of swine production, we

proposed alternative requirements. As

proposed, producers could move swine

interstate under our alternative

procedures if they meet the following

requirements:

• The producers have a written swine

production health plan (SPHP) signed

by the producer(s), the accredited

veterinarian(s) for the premises, the

Animal and Plant Health Inspection

Service (APHIS), and the States in

which the producers in the swine

production system have premises.

• One or more accredited

veterinarians identified in the SPHP

will regularly visit each premises in the

swine production system to inspect and

test swine and will continually monitor

the health of the swine in the swine

production system. Swine may only be

moved interstate if they have been

found free from signs of any

communicable disease during the most

recent inspection of the premises by the

swine production system accredited

veterinarian(s).

• The SPHP describes a records

system maintained by the producers to

document the health status of the swine.

• Prior to each interstate movement of

swine between premises within a swine

production system, an interstate swine

movement report must be sent to

APHIS, the accredited veterinarian for

the premises, and the sending and

receiving States. That report must

document the number, type, and health

status of the swine being moved. Each

of these requirements was discussed in

detail in our proposal.

We solicited comments concerning

our proposal for 60 days ending

November 20, 2000. We received nine

comments by that date. They were from

representatives of State governments,

veterinarians, and pork producers and

pork producer organizations. They are

discussed below by topic.
