ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as
final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final
rule, without change, an interim rule
that amended the bovine tuberculosis
regulations regarding State and zone
classifications by removing New Mexico
from the list of modified accredited
advanced States, adding portions of two
counties in New Mexico to the list of
modified accredited advanced zones,
and adding the remainder of the State to
the list of accredited-free zones. We took
this action based on our determination
that New Mexico met the requirements
of the regulations for zone recognition
and that one of the zones met the
criteria for designation as accreditedfree.
The interim rule
became effective on July 22, 2005.

Background
In an interim rule effective and
published in the Federal Register on
July 22, 2005 (70 FR 42259–42261,
Docket No. 04–068–1), we amended the
tuberculosis regulations in 9 CFR part
77 by removing New Mexico from the
list of modified accredited advanced
States in § 77.9(a), adding portions of
two counties in New Mexico to the list
of modified accredited advanced zones
in § 77.9(b), and adding the remainder
of the State to the list of accredited-free
zones in § 77.7(b).
On August 12, 2005, we published a
document in the Federal Register (70
FR 47078, Docket No. 04–068–2),
correcting an error in the abovementioned rule. When we set out the
revised § 77.9(a) in the July 2005 interim
rule, we inadvertently included
California on the list of modified
accredited advanced States. California
was added to the list of accredited free
States in § 77.7(a) in an interim rule

published in the Federal Register on
April 15, 2005 (70 FR 19877–19878,
Docket No. 05–010–1). Our August 2005
document corrected that error by
removing California from the list of
modified accredited advanced States in
§ 77.9(a).
Comments on the interim rule were
required to be received on or before
September 20, 2005. We received one
comment by that date. The comment
was from a State agricultural agency.
The commenter supported the interim
rule. Therefore, for the reasons given in
the interim rule, we are adopting the
interim rule as a final rule.
This action also affirms the
information contained in the interim
rule concerning Executive Order 12866
and the Regulatory Flexibility Act,
Executive Orders 12372 and 12988, and
the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Further, for this action, the Office of
Management and Budget has waived its
review under Executive Order 12866.

Accordingly, we are adopting as a
final rule, without change, the interim

the correcting amendment published at
