{"abstract":"We are amending the regulations governing the importation of cattle and bison with respect to bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis to establish a system to classify foreign regions as a particular status level for bovine tuberculosis and a particular status level for brucellosis. We are also establishing provisions for modifying the bovine tuberculosis or brucellosis classification of a foreign region. Finally, we are establishing conditions for the importation of cattle and bison from regions with the various classifications. The changes will make the requirements clearer and assure that they more effectively mitigate the risk of introduction of these diseases into the United States.","action":"Final 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/2020/09/17/2020-20552.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"93","title":9}],"citation":"85 FR 57944","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective October 19, 2020.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. APHIS-2011-0044"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2020-20552","effective_on":"2020-10-19","end_page":57956,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2020/09/17/2020-20552.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/09/17/2020-20552/brucellosis-and-bovine-tuberculosis-importation-of-cattle-and-bison","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2020-20552?publication_date=2020-09-17","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2020-09-17/2020-20552/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":13,"page_views":{"count":2418,"last_updated":"2026-07-26 10:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-09-17/pdf/2020-20552.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2020-20552.pdf?1600260338","publication_date":"2020-09-17","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2020/09/17/2020-20552.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0579-AD65":{"issue":"202004","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0579-AD65/brucellosis-and-bovine-tuberculosis-update-of-import-provisions","title":"Brucellosis and Bovine Tuberculosis; Update of Import Provisions","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202004&RIN=0579-AD65&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Other Significant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["0579-AD65"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Brucellosis & Bovine Tuberculosis; Update of General Provisions: Regulatory Impact Analysis and Analysis in Support of Certification that the Rule will not have a Significant Economic Impact on a Substantial Number of Small Entities","document_id":"APHIS-2011-0044-0224"},{"title":"Interstate Movement Requirements Chart","document_id":"APHIS-2011-0044-0080"},{"title":"Program Standards (Revised by APHIS 2.17.16 to correct pagination)","document_id":"APHIS-2011-0044-0059"},{"title":"Printing the handbook threw off pagination.
