Abstract
We are amending the regulations by removing Denmark from the list of regions considered free of exotic Newcastle disease. We are taking this action because Denmark has confirmed an outbreak of exotic Newcastle disease. This action restricts the importation of poultry carcasses, parts or products of poultry carcasses, and eggs (other than hatching eggs) of poultry, game birds, or other birds from Denmark. This action is necessary to help prevent the introduction of exotic Newcastle disease into the United States.
