Horses From Mexico; Quarantine Requirements

We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding the importation of horses from Mexico to remove the requirement that such horses be quarantined for not less than 7 days in vector-proof quarantine facilities before being imported into the United States. We believe this action is warranted because Mexico has reported no cases of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) in over a year, and it appears that horses imported from Mexico without a 7-day quarantine would not pose a risk of transmitting VEE to horses in the United States.
