SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
regulations in 9 CFR part 94 (referred to
below as the regulations) govern the
importation of certain animals and
animal products into the United States
to prevent the introduction of various
animal diseases, including Newcastle
disease and highly pathogenic avian
influenza (HPAI). The regulations
prohibit or restrict the importation of
live poultry, poultry meat, and other
poultry products from regions where
these diseases are considered to exist.
Section 94.6 of the regulations
contains requirements governing the
importation into the United States of
carcasses, meat, parts or products of
carcasses, and eggs (other than hatching
eggs) of poultry, game birds, or other
birds from regions of the world where
HPAI exists or is reasonably believed to
exist. HPAI is an extremely infectious
and potentially fatal form of avian
influenza in birds and poultry that, once
established, can spread rapidly from
flock to flock. A list of regions that the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) considers affected with
HPAI of any subtype is maintained on
the APHIS website at https://
www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/
animalhealth/animal-and-animalproduct-import-information/animalhealth-status-of-regions.
APHIS receives notice of HPAI
outbreaks from veterinary officials of the
exporting country, from the World
Organization for Animal Health (OIE),
or from other sources the Administrator
determines to be reliable. On October
22, 2017, the veterinary authorities of
Bulgaria reported to the OIE that HPAI
occurrence in that country was
confirmed on October 17, 2017.
Subsequent to that report, and after
PO 00000
Frm 00001

confirming that the HPAI occurred in
commercial birds or poultry, APHIS
issued an import alert to place
restrictions on the importation of
poultry, commercial birds, other types
of birds (research, performing), ratites,
any avian hatching eggs, unprocessed
avian products and byproducts, and
certain fresh poultry products from
Bulgaria, on October 25, 2017, to
mitigate risk of HPAI introduction into
the United States. Those restrictions
went into effect on October 17, 2017, the
reported date of confirmation of the
HPAI occurrence in Bulgaria. On
October 26, 2017, APHIS added Bulgaria
to a list of regions under temporary
restriction. With the publication of this
notice, we are informing the public that
we removed Bulgaria from the list of
regions under temporary restriction and
added Bulgaria to the list of regions
APHIS considers affected with HPAI of
any subtype on October 3, 2018.
