Change in Disease Status of Austria Because of Rinderpest, Foot- and-Mouth Disease, and Swine Vesicular Disease

요약

We are declaring Austria free of rinderpest, foot-and-mouth disease, and swine vesicular disease. As part of this action, we are adding Austria to the lists of countries that, although declared free of rinderpest, foot-and-mouth disease, and swine vesicular disease, are subject to restrictions on meat and other animal products offered for importation into the United States. We are also adding Austria to the list of countries from which the importation into the United States of llamas and alpacas is restricted. This rule removes the prohibition on the importation into the United States, from Austria, of ruminants and fresh, chilled, and frozen meat of ruminants, although those importations are still subject to certain restrictions. This rule also relieves restrictions on the importation, from Austria, of milk and milk products of ruminants.
