Change in Disease Status of Costa Rica Because of Exotic Newcastle Disease

Özet

We are proposing to declare Costa Rica free of exotic Newcastle disease (END). Declaring Costa Rica free of END appears to be appropriate because the country has had no clinical, pathological, or laboratory confirmation of END for the last 5 years. This proposed rule would remove the prohibition on the importation into the United States, from Costa Rica, of poultry and poultry products.
