The Animal & Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is the Agency
charged with carrying out the disease
prevention mission. This Agency
regulates the importation of animals and
animal products into the United States
to guard against the introduction of
exotic animal diseases. Disease
prevention is the most effective method
for maintaining a healthy animal
population and enhancing the United
States’ ability to compete in exporting
animals and animal products. The
regulations under which APHIS
conducts disease prevention activities
are contained in Title 9, Chapter D,
parts 91 through 99 of the Code of
Federal Regulations.
Need and Use of the Information:
APHIS will collect information to
ensure that fresh pork and pork
products, as well as poultry carcasses,
parts, and products transiting the
United States from Mexico pose a
negligible risk of introducing classical
swine fever and END into the United
States. APHIS will also collect the name
and address of the exporter, the origin
and destination points of the
commodities, how much and what type
of commodity will be transiting; the
intended port of entry, the date of
transportation, the method and route of
shipment, and other information
concerning the transiting project that
will enable APHIS to determine whether
any disease introduction risk is
associated with the transit and if so,
what risk mitigation measures will be
necessary to minimize that risk.
