SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) is
currently developing a new, flexible
framework for animal disease
traceability in the United States. In
keeping with its commitment to
partnering with States, Tribal Nations,
and industry to address many of the
details of the infrastructure of this
program, including possible regulations,
the USDA took the initial step of hosting
a State/Tribal forum on animal disease
traceability in Kansas City, MO, on
March 18 and 19, 2010. Information on
the proceedings of the State/Tribal
forum is available to the public for
review and comment at (https://
www.aphis.usda.gov/traceability/forum/
index.shtml). We are now planning to
host three public meetings to discuss
animal disease traceability. The
meetings have been set for Kansas City,
MO, Riverdale, MD, and Denver, CO
(see ADDRESSES).
Tentative topics to be discussed at the
upcoming meetings include:
1. The framework for a proposed
animal disease traceability rule.
2. Specific details that would help
form the animal disease traceability
rule.
Written statements on meeting topics,
as well as on the proceedings of the
March 2010 State/Tribal forum, may be
filed with the USDA through May 31,
2010, via the Federal eRulemaking
