9 CFR Part 79

[Docket No. APHIS-2007-0127]
RIN 0579-AC92


Scrapie in Sheep and Goats; Correction

AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: In a final rule that was published in the Federal Register on 
March 25, 2019, and effective on April 24, 2019, we amended the 
regulations by changing the requirements for records needed to trace 
animals and by adding provisions to link official individual animal 
identification applied by persons other than the flock owner to the 
flock of origin in the National Scrapie Database rather than just the 
person who applied the official identification. This document corrects 
an error in that final rule.

DATES: Effective June 18, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Diane Sutton, National Scrapie 
Program Coordinator, Sheep, Goat, Cervid & Equine Health Center, 
Strategy and Policy, VS, APHIS, 4700 River Road, Unit 43, Riverdale, MD 
20737-1235; (301) 851-3509.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 25, 2019, we published in the 
Federal Register (84 FR 11170-11196, Docket No. APHIS-2007-0127) a 
final rule that amended the regulations in parts 54 and 79 by changing 
the requirements for records needed to trace animals, and by adding 
provisions to link official individual animal identification applied by 
persons other than the flock owner to the flock of origin in the 
National Scrapie Database rather than just the person who applied the 
official identification. As part of this change, we added some 
paragraphs to Sec.  79.6(a) and redesignated others. Specifically, 
Sec.  79.6(a)(10)(i) was redesignated as Sec.  79.6(a)(12). However, in 
Sec.  79.2(a)(1), footnote 4 refers to the identification requirements 
in Sec.  79.6(a)(10)(i), and we did not update the reference in the 
footnote to reflect that change. This document corrects that error.
