typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2016-16816 RIN0579-AD10 Docket No.APHIS-2009-0095 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Proposed rule. We will consider all comments that we receive on or before September 16, 2016. 9 CFR Parts 93, 94, 95, 96, and 98 SummaryWe are proposing to amend the regulations that govern the importation of animals and animal products to revise the conditions for the importation of live sheep, goats, and certain other non-bovine ruminants, and products derived from sheep and goats, with regard to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie. We are proposing to remove BSE-related import restrictions on sheep and goats and most of their products, and to add import restrictions related to transmissible spongiform encephalopathies for certain wild, zoological, or other non-bovine ruminant species. The conditions we are proposing for the importation of specified commodities are based on internationally accepted scientific literature and will in general align our regulations with guidelines set out in the World Organization for Animal Health&apos;s Terrestrial Animal Health Code.
2016-06-21; vol. 81 # 119 - Tuesday, June 21, 201681 FR 40149 - Use of Electronic Information Exchange Systems; Miscellaneous Amendments

Effective June 21, 2016. 7 CFR Parts 319, 322, 352, and 353 SummaryWe are amending our regulations regarding the importation or exportation of animals and animal products and plants and plant products to address instances where the current regulations require the use of a hard-copy form or specify that a particular document must be submitted in writing. This final rule amends the regulations to provide the flexibility needed for persons to take advantage of electronic systems when a regulation has a limiting requirement. The amendments we are making in this final rule are not to mandate the use of electronic systems or preclude the use of paper documents; rather, they address those instances where our regulations specify a submission method to the exclusion of other methods.
2016-03-11; vol. 81 # 48 - Friday, March 11, 201681 FR 12832 - Brucellosis and Bovine Tuberculosis; Update of General Provisions
2015-02-26; vol. 80 # 38 - Thursday, February 26, 201580 FR 10323 - Cattle Fever Tick; Importation Requirements for Ruminants From Mexico
2013-12-10; vol. 78 # 237 - Tuesday, December 10, 201378 FR 73993 - Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Importation of Bovines and Bovine Products
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.C1-2013-28228 RIN0579-AC68 Docket No.APHIS-2008-0010 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service 9 CFR Parts 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, and 98 Summary
2013-12-04; vol. 78 # 233 - Wednesday, December 4, 201378 FR 72980 - Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Importation of Bovines and Bovine Products
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2013-28228 RIN0579-AC68 Docket No.APHIS-2008-0010 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Final rule. This rule is effective March 4, 2014. The incorporation by reference of the material described in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of March 4, 2014. 9 CFR Parts 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, and 98 SummaryWe are amending the regulations that govern the importation of animals and animal products to revise the conditions for the importation of live bovines and products derived from bovines with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). We are basing importation conditions on the inherent risk of BSE infectivity in specified commodities, as well as on the BSE risk status of the region in which the commodities originate. We are establishing a system for classifying regions as to BSE risk that is consistent with the system employed by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the international standard-setting organization for guidelines related to animal health. The conditions we are adopting for the importation of specified commodities are based on internationally accepted scientific literature, and are, in general, consistent with guidelines set out in the OIE&apos;s Terrestrial Animal Health Code. We are also classifying certain specified countries as to BSE risk and are removing BSE restrictions on the importation of cervids and camelids and products derived from such animals. We are making these amendments after conducting a thorough review of relevant scientific literature and a comprehensive evaluation of the issues and concluding that the changes to the regulations will continue to guard against the introduction of BSE into the United States, while allowing the importation of additional animals and animal products into this country.
2013-03-29; vol. 78 # 61 - Friday, March 29, 201378 FR 19080 - Importation of Live Birds and Poultry, Poultry Meat, and Poultry Products From a Region in the European Union
2013-02-11; vol. 78 # 28 - Monday, February 11, 201378 FR 9577 - Importation of Horses From Contagious Equine Metritis-Affected Countries
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2013-03024 RIN0579-AD31 Docket No.APHIS-2008-0112 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Final rule. Effective Date: March 13, 2013. 9 CFR Part 93 SummaryWe are adopting as a final rule, with changes, an interim rule that amended the regulations regarding the importation of horses from countries affected with contagious equine metritis (CEM) by incorporating an additional certification requirement for imported horses 731 days of age or less and adding new testing protocols for test mares and imported stallions and mares more than 731 days of age. This document revises certain CEM-testing requirements for imported stallions and mares, and for test mares, that were amended in the interim rule. The interim rule was necessary to provide additional safeguards against the introduction of CEM through the importation of affected horses.
2012-06-12; vol. 77 # 113 - Tuesday, June 12, 201277 FR 34783 - Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

We will consider all comments that we receive on or before July 12, 2012. 9 CFR Parts 93, 94, and 95 SummaryWe are reopening the comment period for our interim rule that amended the regulations concerning the importation of animals and animal products to prohibit or restrict the importation of bird and poultry products from regions where any subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is considered to exist. The interim rule also imposed restrictions concerning importation of live poultry and birds that have been vaccinated for certain types of HPAI, or that have been moved through regions where any subtype of HPAI is considered to exist. This action will give the public an additional opportunity to comment on the interim rule and on a change to its provisions that we are considering.

We will consider all comments that we receive on or before June 14, 2012. 9 CFR Parts 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, and 98 SummaryWe are reopening the comment period for our proposed rule that would amend the regulations that govern the importation of animals and animal products to revise the conditions for the importation of live bovines and products derived from bovines with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy. This action will allow interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments.
2012-04-04; vol. 77 # 65 - Wednesday, April 4, 201277 FR 20319 - Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Importation of Bovines and Bovine Products

2012-03-16; vol. 77 # 52 - Friday, March 16, 201277 FR 15848 - Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Importation of Bovines and Bovine Products
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2012-6151 RIN0579-AC68 Docket No.APHIS-2008-0010 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Proposed rule. We will consider all comments that we receive on or before May 15, 2012. 9 CFR Parts 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, and 98 SummaryWe are proposing to amend the regulations that govern the importation of animals and animal products to revise the conditions for the importation of live bovines and products derived from bovines with regard to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). We are proposing to base importation conditions on the inherent risk of BSE infectivity in specified commodities, as well as on the BSE risk status of the region from which the commodities originate. We are proposing to establish a system for classifying regions as to BSE risk that is consistent with the system employed by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the international standard-setting organization for guidelines related to animal health. The conditions we are proposing for the importation of specified commodities are based on internationally accepted scientific literature and, except in a few instances, are consistent with guidelines set out in the OIE&apos;s Terrestrial Animal Health Code. We are also proposing to classify certain specified countries as to BSE risk and are proposing to remove BSE restrictions on the importation of cervids and camelids and products derived from such animals. We are proposing to make these amendments after conducting a thorough review of relevant scientific literature and a comprehensive evaluation of the issues and concluding that the proposed changes to the regulations would continue to guard against the introduction of BSE into the United States, while allowing the importation of additional animals and animal products into this country. In this document we are also affirming the position we took in removing the delay of applicability of certain provisions of the rule entitled “Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Minimal-Risk Regions and Importation of Commodities,” published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2005 (70 FR 460-553). The delay of applicability was removed in a final rule entitled “Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy; Minimal-Risk Regions; Importation of Live Bovines and Products Derived from Bovines,” published in the Federal Register on September 18, 2007 (72 FR 53314-53379).
2012-01-10; vol. 77 # 6 - Tuesday, January 10, 201277 FR 1388 - Lists of Regions Classified With Respect to Certain Animal Diseases and States Approved To Receive Certain Imported Horses
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2012-226 RIN0579-AD05 Docket No.APHIS-2009-0035 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Final rule. Effective Date: February 9, 2012. 9 CFR Parts 92, 93, 94, 96, and 98 SummaryWe are removing lists of regions classified with respect to certain animal diseases and pests, and lists of States approved to receive horses imported from foreign regions where contagious equine metritis (CEM) exists, from our animal and animal product import regulations. Instead, the lists will be posted on the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service&apos;s (APHIS&apos;) Web site. The regulations will provide the Web address and explain APHIS&apos; criteria and processes for adding a region or a State to, or removing a region or State from, each of the lists. Because the lists will no longer be in the Code of Federal Regulations, changing the lists will no longer require rulemaking. We will keep the public informed of changes to the lists and provide opportunity for public comment through publications in the Federal Register . This rule will enable APHIS to more quickly recognize changes in the disease or pest status of foreign regions and approve States to receive horses from foreign regions where CEM exists. This rulemaking does not change the technical criteria APHIS uses to evaluate whether a foreign region should be added to or removed from a list or the criteria for approving a State to receive horses imported from foreign regions where CEM exists.
