Johne's Disease in Domestic Animals; Interstate Movement

We are amending the regulations regarding the interstate movement of domestic animals that have reacted to a test for paratuberculosis. First, we are replacing all references to "paratuberculosis" with references to "Johne's disease" to reflect a change in nomenclature. Second, we are identifying an official test for the detection of Johne's disease in domestic animals. Third, we are amending the requirements for moving animals interstate. These actions will update the regulations and remove restrictions on the interstate movement of animals that are positive to an official Johne's disease test that do not appear necessary to prevent the interstate spread of Johne's disease.
