{"abstract":"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), is amending regulations for the importation of live nonhuman primates (NHPs) by extending existing requirements for the importation of Macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus), Chlorocebus aethiops (African green), and Macaca mulatta (rhesus) monkeys to all NHPs with the exception of the filovirus testing requirement. Filovirus testing will only be required for Old World NHPs in quarantine that have illness consistent with filovirus infection or that die for any reason other than trauma during quarantine. HHS/CDC is also finalizing a provision to reduce the frequency at which importers of cynomolgus, African green, and rhesus monkeys are required to renew their special permits (from every 180 days to every 2 years). HHS/CDC is incorporating existing guidelines into the regulations and adding new provisions to address the following: NHPs imported as part of an animal act; NHPs imported or transferred by zoological societies; the transfer of NHPs from approved laboratories; and non-live imported NHP products. Finally, HHS/CDC is also requiring that all NHPs be imported only through ports of entry where a HHS/CDC quarantine station is located.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/02/15/2013-03064.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":71,"title":42}],"citation":"78 FR 11522","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective April 16, 2013.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. HHS/CDC-2011-0001"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-03064","effective_on":"2013-04-16","end_page":11545,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2013/02/15/2013-03064.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/02/15/2013-03064/control-of-communicable-disease-foreign-requirements-for-importers-of-nonhuman-primates-nhp","images":{"ER15FE13.014":{"large":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER15FE13.014/ER15FE13.014_large.png","medium":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER15FE13.014/ER15FE13.014_medium.png","original_size":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER15FE13.014/ER15FE13.014_original_size.png"}},"images_metadata":{"ER15FE13.014":{"large":{"identifier":"ER15FE13.014","content_type":"image/png","size":22608,"width":822,"sha":"853726eb07c25c377f2cdec54bd2208a","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER15FE13.014/ER15FE13.014_large.png","height":594},"medium":{"identifier":"ER15FE13.014","content_type":"image/png","size":9738,"width":459,"sha":"c406de05f9fe2e53bcda17292204f46d","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER15FE13.014/ER15FE13.014_medium.png","height":332},"original_size":{"identifier":"ER15FE13.014","content_type":"image/png","size":217145,"width":3475,"sha":"42ed1b06e17510be21ef7acb4887d4d1","url":"https://img.federalregister.gov/ER15FE13.014/ER15FE13.014_original_size.png","height":2511}}},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-03064?publication_date=2013-02-15","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2013-02-15/2013-03064/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":24,"page_views":{"count":6307,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 04:15:07 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-02-15/pdf/2013-03064.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-03064.pdf?1360851034","publication_date":"2013-02-15","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2013/02/15/2013-03064.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0920-AA23":{"issue":"201110","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0920-AA23/control-of-communicable-diseases-foreign-and-possessions-regulations-nonhuman-primate","title":"Control of Communicable Diseases: Foreign and Possessions Regulations;
