| E6-198 | Tuberculosis in Captive Cervids; Extend Interval for Conducting Reaccreditation Test | Proposed Rule | We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding tuberculosis in captive cervids by extending, from 2 years to 3, the term for which accredited herd status is valid and increasing by 12 months the interval for conducting the reaccreditation test required to maintain the accredited tuberculosis-free status of cervid herds. We are also proposing to reduce, from three tests to two, the number of consecutive negative official tuberculosis tests required of all eligible captive cervids in a herd before a herd can be eligible for recognition as an accredited herd. These actions would reduce testing costs for herd owners, lessen the potential for animal injury or death during testing, and lower administrative costs for State and Federal regulatory agencies. In addition, we are proposing to amend the regulations by removing references to the blood tuberculosis test for captive cervids, as that test is no longer used in the tuberculosis eradication program for captive cervids. This proposed change would update the regulations so that they refer only to those official tests currently in use. | 2006-01-12 | 2006 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2006/01/12/E6-198/tuberculosis-in-captive-cervids-extend-interval-for-conducting-reaccreditation-test | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2006-01-12/pdf/E6-198.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding tuberculosis in captive cervids by extending, from 2 years to 3, the term for which accredited herd status is valid and increasing by 12 months the interval for conducting the reaccreditation test... |
