SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Secretary’s Advisory Committee on
Animal Health (the Committee) advises
the Secretary of Agriculture on means to
prevent, conduct surveillance on,
monitor, control, or eradicate animal
diseases of national importance. In
doing so, the Committee will consider
public health, conservation of natural
resources, and the stability of livestock
economies. Among the key animal
health issues the Committee will help
the Secretary evaluate will be animal
disease traceability.
Animal disease traceability will be the
primary discussion topic at the meeting
on March 4, 2011. APHIS has spent
much of the past year developing a
framework for animal disease
traceability in the United States.
Through the framework, APHIS will
implement a flexible yet coordinated
approach to animal disease traceability
that embraces the strengths and
expertise of States, Tribes, and
producers and empowers them to find
and use the traceability approaches that
work best for them.
APHIS has conducted extensive
outreach on the traceability framework
and continues to seek input by using the
Committee. We are developing the
proposed rule and the traceability
performance standards collaboratively
and transparently. This helps us ensure
that practical animal disease traceability
options evolve.
Additional details regarding each
meeting, including the preliminary and
final agendas, will be posted on the
Committee’s Web site at https://
