Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service June 1, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

National Veterinary Accreditation Program
Document Number: E6-8493
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2006-06-01
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding the National Veterinary Accreditation Program to establish two accreditation categories in place of the current single category, to add requirements for supplemental training and renewal of accreditation, and to offer accreditation specializations. We are proposing these changes in order to support the Agency's animal health safeguarding initiatives, to involve accredited veterinarians in integrated surveillance activities, and to make the provisions governing our National Veterinary Accreditation Program more uniform and consistent. These proposed changes would increase the level of training and skill of accredited veterinarians in the areas of disease prevention and preparedness for animal health emergencies in the United States.
Importation of Swine and Swine Products from the European Union; Correction
Document Number: E6-8465
Type: Rule
Date: 2006-06-01
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
In a final rule published in the Federal Register on May 19, 2006, we amended the regulations governing the importation of animals and animal products into the United States to apply a uniform set of importation requirements related to classical swine fever (CSF) to a region consisting of all of the 15 Member States of the European Union (EU) that comprised the EU as of April 30, 2004 (the EU-15) and prohibit for a specified period of time the importation of live swine and swine products from any area in the EU-15 that is identified by the veterinary authorities of the region as a restricted zone. The final rule contained an error in the rule portion in the list of CSF-free regions and an error regarding the designation of a section being amended. This document corrects those errors.
