Notice of Proposed New Fee Site(s), 12657-12658 [2022-04702]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2022 / Notices As we explained above, the requirements for classification as a region for brucellosis are set out in § 93.440 of the regulations. To receive Level I or II classification for brucellosis, a region must meet APHIS requirements for brucellosis classification in accordance with § 93.441. Level I regions must also have a prevalence of brucellosis in their domestic bovine herds of less than 0.001 percent over at least the previous 2 years (24 consecutive months). Level II regions must have a prevalence of brucellosis in their domestic bovine herds equal to or greater than 0.001 percent, but less than 0.01 percent over at least the previous 2 years (24 consecutive months). Level III regions do not meet APHIS requirements for brucellosis classification in accordance with § 93.441, have a prevalence of brucellosis in their domestic bovine herds equal to or greater than 0.01 percent, or are unassessed by APHIS with regard to brucellosis prevalence. The requirements for importation of ruminants from any part of the world with respect to brucellosis are linked to the classification levels, as described in § 93.442 of the regulations. The regulations provide that steers and spayed heifers may be imported into the United States from anywhere in the world without additional restrictions. Sexually intact cattle from Level I regions may also be imported into the United States without additional restrictions. However, sexually intact cattle from Level II and Level III regions are subject to restrictions, such as originating in accredited herds, or whole herd and individual testing requirements. Consequently, classification as Level I will effectively exempt sexually intact cattle from Sonora from brucellosis testing prior to export, saving Sonoran producers the cost of testing or the cost of castrating bulls and spaying heifers to avoid the testing requirement. Under Level II or III, producers would still bear those costs. One commenter asked if brucellosis posed an immediate threat to the people of the United States. As we explained in the evaluation that accompanied the initial notice, bovine brucellosis is caused by the bacterium Brucella abortus. Infection with B. abortus causes abortions and stillbirths in cattle. B. abortus also affects other species including bison, buffalo, and elk. In addition, B. abortus is a human pathogen that can cause serious disease. Human cases of brucellosis in the United States are rare, can be treated with antibiotics, and can VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:50 Mar 04, 2022 Jkt 256001 be prevented with appropriate food safety measures. One commenter asked what efforts will be taken to stop the spread of brucellosis, and if the export of beef would still be allowed. In the event that the prevalence of brucellosis in Sonora rises to above 0.001 percent, APHIS will take action to reclassify the region as Level II or III, as appropriate, and impose the corresponding restrictions on imported bovines. Reclassification would not result in changes to the requirements for exporting beef to the United States from Sonora. One commenter asked what effect brucellosis would have on the production of food in the area and how this could hurt the citizens. As we explained in the evaluation that accompanied the initial notice, Sonora has averaged 28 cases of brucellosis in humans annually since 2002, primarily due to B. abortus. Public health officials in Sonora attribute the majority of cases to exposure through soft cheeses and/or raw milk from other Mexican States. Animal and public health officials in Sonora work closely to monitor the incidence of brucellosis in humans and investigate any potential connection to Sonoran livestock. For example, a case rate spike in humans in 2010 led to detection of an infected goat herd that produced cheese and milk for local consumption. Therefore, in accordance with the regulations in §§ 93.440 and 93.441, we are announcing our decision to classify the State of Sonora, Mexico as Level I for brucellosis, and to add the State of Sonora to the web-based list of Level I regions for brucellosis. Bovines from the State of Sonora may be imported under the conditions listed in §§ 93.439 and 93.442 for the appropriate classification level. National Environmental Policy Act On December 27, 2022, we published in the Federal Register a notice (86 FR 73238–73239, Docket No. APHIS–2020– 0071) announcing that we were classifying Canada as Level I for brucellosis and bovine tuberculosis. That final notice was accompanied by a final environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact (FONSI). The final environmental assessment and FONSI also evaluated the possible environmental impacts associated with classifying Sonora as Level I for brucellosis. Accordingly, we direct the public to https:// www.regulations.gov/docket/APHIS2020-0071 to view those documents, PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 12657 and are not republishing them for this action.
