## Abstract

We are amending the animal importation regulations by removing Texas from the lists of States approved to receive certain stallions and mares imported into the United States from regions affected with contagious equine metritis. This action is necessary because the Texas Animal Health Commission has determined that the State of Texas is not able to continue this activity, and has requested that the State be removed from the list.
