Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service November 15, 2007 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Importation of Sheep and Goat Semen
Document Number: E7-22279
Type: Rule
Date: 2007-11-15
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are amending the regulations regarding the importation of animal germplasm by removing specific restrictions on sheep semen from regions where scrapie exists and requiring the inclusion of additional information on the international health certificate accompanying sheep and goat semen. Experience and research have convinced us that sheep and goat semen pose a minimal risk of transmitting scrapie. This action will relieve restrictions on imported sheep semen while continuing to provide safeguards against the introduction and dissemination of scrapie.
Interstate Movement of Fruit From Hawaii
Document Number: E7-22278
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-11-15
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are proposing to amend the Hawaiian fruits and vegetables regulations to allow mangosteen, dragon fruit, melon, pods of cowpea and its relatives, breadfruit, jackfruit, and fresh moringa pods to be moved interstate from Hawaii under certain conditions. This action would allow the movement of these tropical fruits from Hawaii to the continental United States while continuing to provide protection against the spread of plant pests from Hawaii to the continental United States.
