{"abstract":"We are proposing to amend the regulations to add that portion of the Patagonia region of Argentina located south of latitude 42[deg] south (Patagonia South) to the list of regions considered free of rinderpest and foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). We are taking this action because we have determined that Patagonia South is free of rinderpest and FMD. We are also proposing to add that region to the list of regions that are subject to certain import restrictions on meat and meat products because of their proximity to or trading relationships with rinderpest-or FMD-affected countries. These actions would update the disease status of Patagonia South with regard to rinderpest and FMD while continuing to protect the United States from an introduction of those diseases by providing additional requirements for any meat and meat products imported into the United States from Patagonia South.","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/2007/01/05/E6-22627.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":94,"title":9}],"citation":"72 FR 475","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2007-03-06","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"We will consider all comments that we receive on or before March 6, 2007.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. APHIS-2005-0096"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"E6-22627","effective_on":null,"end_page":480,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2007/01/05/E6-22627.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/01/05/E6-22627/change-in-disease-status-of-the-patagonia-south-region-of-argentina-with-regard-to-rinderpest-and","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/E6-22627?publication_date=2007-01-05","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2007-01-05/E6-22627/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":6,"page_views":{"count":134,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-01-05/pdf/E6-22627.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2007-01-05","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2007/01/05/E6-22627.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Risk Analysis:  Risk of Exporting Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) in FMD-Susceptible Species from Argentina, South of the 42nd Parallel (Patagonia South), to the United States","document_id":"APHIS-2005-0096-0002"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=APHIS-2005-0096","supporting_documents_count":1,"docket_id":"APHIS-2005-0096","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Change in Disease Status of the Patagonia South Region of Argentina with Regard to Rinderpest and Foot-and-Mouth Disease","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T20:29:16Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":475,"subtype":null,"title":"Change in Disease Status of the Patagonia South Region of Argentina With Regard to Rinderpest and Foot-and-Mouth Disease","toc_doc":"Argentina","toc_subject":"Exportation and importation of animals and animal products:","topics":["Animal diseases","Imports","Livestock","Meat and meat products","Milk","Poultry and poultry products","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":72}
