Animals and Animal Products. Part92:Importation of animals and animal products: procedures for requesting recognition of regions. Section92.6:Determination of the date of effective enforcement of a ruminant- to-ruminant feed ban.
(a) In order for APHIS to determine the eligibility of live bovines for importation from a region classified as BSE negligible risk or BSE controlled risk, APHIS must determine the date from which a ban on the feeding of ruminant material to ruminants has been effectively enforced in the region. APHIS will base its determination of the date of effective enforcement on the information included in the dossier the region submitted when it requested to be classified regarding BSE risk. The information APHIS will consider will include, but not be limited to.
