## Abstract

We are amending the regulations by adding the Mexican States of Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatan to the list of regions considered free of exotic Newcastle disease. We have conducted a risk evaluation and have determined that these three Yucatan Peninsula States have met our requirements for being recognized as free of this disease. This action allows importation into the United States of poultry and poultry products from these regions. We are also adding a certification requirement to ensure that poultry and poultry products from Campeche, Quintana Roo, and Yucatan originate in those States or in any other region recognized by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service as free of exotic Newcastle disease and that, prior to export to the United States, such poultry and poultry products are not commingled with poultry and poultry products from regions where exotic Newcastle disease exists.
