          <text>&lt;p&gt;This joint resolution nullifies the final rule issued by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) titled &lt;i&gt;Importation of Fresh Beef From Paraguay&lt;/i&gt; and published on November 14, 2023. The final rule allows for the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from Paraguay into the United States under certain conditions. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The United States prohibits or restricts the importation of certain animals and animal products to prevent the introduction of various animal diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). In response to a request from Paraguay to allow the importation of fresh beef from Paraguay into the United States, APHIS conducted a risk analysis. APHIS concluded that fresh beef could be safely imported from Paraguay, provided that certain conditions are met. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These conditions include that (1) FMD has not been diagnosed in the exporting region within the previous 12 months; (2) the meat originated from premises where FMD has not been present during the lifetime of any bovines slaughtered for U.S. meat export; and (3) APHIS may periodically conduct on-site evaluations and subsequent inspections of the slaughter facilities, records, and operations.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
