Abstract
We are amending our animal import regulations by requiring cattle to undergo additional testing for tuberculosis prior to exportation to the United States, except cattle imported for immediate slaughter. The additional testing requirements will help us to better ensure that imported cattle are free of tuberculosis, thereby protecting against the spread of tuberculosis within the United States.
