Classical Swine Fever Status of Chile

We are proposing to amend the regulations for importing animals and animal products by adding Chile to the list of regions we recognize as free of classical swine fever (CSF). We are proposing this action at the request of the Government of Chile and after conducting a risk evaluation that indicates that Chile is free of this disease. We are also proposing to add Chile to a list of CSF-affected regions whose exports of live swine, pork, and pork products to the United States must meet certain certification requirements to ensure their freedom from CSF, and to amend those requirements to accommodate the addition of Chile to the list. These actions would relieve restrictions on the importation into the United States of pork, pork products, live swine, and swine semen from Chile while continuing to protect against the introduction of this disease into the United States.
