SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
regulations in 9 CFR part 93 govern the
importation into the United States of
specified animals and animal products
in order to help prevent the
introduction of various animal diseases
into the United States. The regulations
in part 93 require, among other things,
that certain animals, as a condition of
entry, be quarantined upon arrival in
the United States. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
currently operates three animal
quarantine facilities. We also authorize
the use of quarantine facilities that are
privately owned and operated for
certain animal importations. APHIS
oversight and monitoring is still
required at privately owned
quarantines.
In order to provide a forum for the
discussion of the current and future
capacity for live animal import
quarantines, we are advising the public
that we are hosting six public meetings.
The public meetings will be held as
follows:
• February 19, 2014, at the Embassy
Suites, Los Angeles-International
Airport/South, 1440 E. Imperial
Avenue, El Segundo, CA 90245.
• February 25, 2014, at the Clarion

The public meetings will begin at 8
a.m. local time and are scheduled to end
at 5 p.m. The meetings will be open to
the public and registration will begin at
7:30 a.m. the day of each meeting. These
public meetings will provide an
opportunity for members of the public
(including other Federal and State
regulatory agencies) to provide input for
developing and implementing possible
alternatives to existing APHIS
requirements and oversight for live
animal quarantines as required under
our regulations.
Tentative topics to be discussed at the
upcoming meetings include:
1. General considerations in choosing
import quarantine services.
2. Considerations in choosing a
particular location for animal
quarantine.
3. Expectations regarding e-commerce
and animal import quarantine.
4. Experience with quarantine
facilities in other countries.
5. The impact of marketplace changes
on animal import quarantine.
6. Other options, ideas, or topics
APHIS should consider before making
any changes to current animal import
quarantine processes.
