Change in Disease Status of the Republic of San Marino and the Independent Principalities of Andorra and Monaco

Короткий зміст

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the regulations by adding the Republic of San Marino and the independent principalities of Andorra and Monaco to the list of regions that present an undue risk of introducing bovine spongiform encephalopathy into the United States because their import requirements are less restrictive than those required for import into the United States and/or because of inadequate surveillance. The interim rule placed restrictions on the importation of ruminants that have been in Andorra, Monaco, or San Marino and meat, meat products, and certain other products of ruminants that have been in Andorra, Monaco, or San Marino. The interim rule was necessary in order to prevent the introduction of bovine spongiform encephalopathy into the United States.
