Exotic Newcastle Disease in Birds and Poultry; Chlamydiosis in Poultry

Riepilogo

We are revising completely the regulations concerning exotic Newcastle disease in birds and poultry, and psittacosis or ornithosis in poultry. We reviewed part 82 as part of our ongoing review of existing regulations, and have determined that a complete revision of subpart A is necessary. Revising the regulations will make them easier to understand, thereby increasing compliance with the regulations, and will make them more effective in preventing the interstate spread of these diseases. We are also amending other parts to reflect the amendments we are making to part 82.
