[Docket No. 98-078-2]


Ports Designated for Exportation of Horses; New Jersey and New 
York

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 4, 1999, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service published a direct final rule. (See 64 FR 29947-29949, Docket 
No. 98-078-1.) The direct final rule notified the public of our 
intention to amend the ``Inspection and Handling of Livestock for 
Exportation'' regulations by changing the lists of approved ports of 
embarkation and export inspection facilities for horses in New Jersey 
and New York. In New Jersey, we are removing Deep Hollow Farm in 
Woodstown, NJ, as the export inspection facility for horses exported 
from the ocean port of Salem, NJ, and adding Mannington Meadows Farm in 
Woodstown, NJ, in its place. We are adding Elizabeth and Newark 
International Airport, NJ, as ports of embarkation, and Tolleshunt 
Horse Farm in Whitehouse, NJ, and the U.S. Equestrian Team's 
headquarters in Gladstone, NJ, as export inspection facilities for 
horses for those ports. We are also adding Tolleshunt Horse Farm and 
the U.S. Equestrian Team's headquarters as export inspection facilities 
for horses for the currently approved port of New York, NY. These 
actions update the regulations by adding two ports of embarkation and 
three export inspection facilities through which horses may be 
processed for export. We did not receive any written adverse comments 
or written notice of intent to submit adverse comments in response to 
the direct final rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The effective date of the direct final rule is 
confirmed as: August 3, 1999.
