Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service April 21, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are advising the public that a draft document has been prepared by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service that identifies the smallest administrative jurisdictions within 11 Member States of the European Union that we would consider ``regions'' in the event of future animal disease outbreaks. The draft document refers to these jurisdictions as ``administrative units'' and also reevaluates the administrative units already identified for Italy. We are making this draft document available to the public for review and comment.
