A federal agency is moving forward with plans to update regulatory paperwork requirements for private facilities that quarantine ruminant animals.
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service has announced its plans to seek changes and an extension to existing information collection rules that govern privately operated quarantine facilities for ruminants, following procedures outlined in the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The agency’s announcement indicates it will be requesting both modifications to current standards and an extension of the regulatory framework that oversees these specialized animal housing facilities.
