Exotic Newcastle Disease in Birds and Poultry; Chlamydiosis in Poultry

Résumé

We are proposing to revise completely subpart A of part 82 of title 9, Code of Federal Regulations, concerning exotic Newcastle disease in birds and poultry, and psittacosis or ornithosis in poultry. We have reviewed part 82 as part of our ongoing review of existing regulations, and believe that a complete revision of subpart A is necessary. Revising the regulations would make them easier to understand, thereby increasing compliance with the regulations, and would make them more effective in preventing the interstate spread of these diseases. We are also proposing to amend parts 53, 71, 92, 94, and 161 of Title 9, Code of Federal Regulations, to reflect the amendments to part 82 we are proposing.
