We are advising the public that the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has prepared an evaluation of the animal health status of two counties (B[aacute]cs-Kiskun and Csongr[aacute]d) in Hungary relative to the H5N1 subtype of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The evaluation presents our assessment of the HPAI H5N1 detection, control, and eradication measures in place in those two counties in Hungary during outbreaks of HPAI H5N1 in 2006 and 2007. If, after the close of the comment period, APHIS can identify no additional risk factors that would indicate that domestic poultry in these two counties continue to be affected with HPAI H5N1, we would conclude that the importation of live birds, poultry carcasses, parts of carcasses, and eggs (other than hatching eggs) of poultry, game birds, or other birds from B[aacute]cs-Kiskun and Csongr[aacute]d Counties in Hungary presents a low risk of introducing HPAI H5N1 into the United States.

Please indicate if you will be attending the meeting, whether you want to make an oral statement on July 15, 2009, and what organization you represent (if appropriate).
