Abstract
We are amending the regulations by adding Israel to the list of regions where bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) exists because the disease has been detected in a native-born animal in that region. The effect of this action is a restriction on the importation of ruminants that have been in Israel and meat, meat products, and certain other products of ruminants that have been in Israel. This action is necessary to help prevent the introduction of bovine spongiform encephalopathy into the United States.
