Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service February 27, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

National Veterinary Accreditation Program
Document Number: E7-3256
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-02-27
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are proposing four changes related to our proposed rule published in the Federal Register on June 1, 2006, that would amend the regulations regarding the National Veterinary Accreditation Program. The June 2006 proposed rule would establish two accreditation categories in place of the current single category, add requirements for supplemental training and renewal of accreditation, and offer accreditation specializations. In this supplemental proposed rule, we are proposing to adjust the scope of the two accreditation categories; to require initial accreditation training for veterinarians seeking accreditation; to require newly accredited veterinarians to renew their accreditation 3 years after completing initial accreditation training; and to reduce the training required for renewal of accreditation from the amount discussed in the June 2006 proposal.
Phytophthora Ramorum; Quarantine and Regulations
Document Number: 07-892
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-02-27
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are amending the Phytophthora ramorum regulations to establish restrictions on the interstate movement of nursery stock from nurseries in nonquarantined areas in California, Oregon, and Washington. We are also amending the regulations to update conditions for the movement of regulated articles of nursery stock from quarantined areas, to add restrictions on the movement of decorative trees without roots from quarantined areas, as well as to restrict the interstate movement of all other nursery stock from nurseries in quarantined areas. We are also updating the list of plants regulated because of P. ramorum and the list of areas that are quarantined for P. ramorum, and making other miscellaneous amendments to the regulations. These actions are necessary to prevent the spread of P. ramorum to noninfested areas of the United States.
