Change in Disease Status of East Anglia Because of Hog Cholera

Краткое содержание

We are amending the regulations governing the importation of swine and pork and pork products by removing East Anglia, a region of England that includes the counties of Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk, from the list of regions considered to be free from hog cholera. We are taking this action based on reports we have received from Great Britain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food that an outbreak of hog cholera has occurred in East Anglia. As a result of this action, there will be additional restrictions on the importation of pork and pork products into the United States from East Anglia, and the importation of swine from East Anglia will be prohibited.
