## Abstract

We are amending the regulations regarding the recognition of regions to establish procedures that we will follow when a region that we recognize as free of an animal disease experiences an outbreak of that disease. The procedures include steps we will take to prevent the introduction of disease from that region and steps we will take to further assess the region's animal health status. The procedures will allow for timely reinstatement of the region's disease-free status if supported by the reassessment.
