{"abstract":"We are proposing to amend the regulations governing the importation of certain animals, meat, and other animal products by allowing, under certain conditions, the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from a region in Brazil (the States of Bahia, Distrito Federal, Espirito Santo, Goias, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Parana, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Rondonia, Sao Paulo, Sergipe, and Tocantins). Based on the evidence in a recent risk assessment, we have determined that fresh (chilled or frozen) beef can be safely imported from those Brazilian States provided certain conditions are met. This action would provide for the importation of beef from the designated region in Brazil into the United States while continuing to protect the United States against the introduction of foot-and-mouth disease.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service","name":"Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service","id":22,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/animal-and-plant-health-inspection-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/22","parent_id":12,"slug":"animal-and-plant-health-inspection-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/12/23/2013-30464.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":94,"title":9}],"citation":"78 FR 77370","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2014-02-21","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"We will consider all comments that we receive on or before February 21, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. APHIS-2009-0017"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-30464","effective_on":null,"end_page":77376,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2013/12/23/2013-30464.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/23/2013-30464/importation-of-beef-from-a-region-in-brazil","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-30464?publication_date=2013-12-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2013-12-23/2013-30464/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":7,"page_views":{"count":1470,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 16:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-23/pdf/2013-30464.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-30464.pdf?1387547862","publication_date":"2013-12-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2013/12/23/2013-30464.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0579-AD41":{"issue":"201504","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0579-AD41/importation-of-beef-from-a-region-in-brazil","title":"Importation of Beef From a Region in Brazil","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201504&RIN=0579-AD41&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Economically Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["0579-AD41"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-02-19T05:06:00Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":true,"signing_date":null,"start_page":77370,"subtype":null,"title":"Importation of Beef From a Region in Brazil","toc_doc":"Region in Brazil","toc_subject":"Importation of Beef:","topics":["Animal diseases","Imports","Livestock","Meat and meat products","Milk","Poultry and poultry products","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":78}
