## Abstract

This document withdraws the interim rule amending the animal importation regulations to require that steers and spayed heifers with any evidence of horn growth that are entering the United States meet the same tuberculosis testing requirements as sexually intact animals entering the United States. That interim rule was published in the Federal Register on July 20, 2004, and was scheduled to become effective on August 19, 2004. We have decided to publish a proposed rule in place of the interim rule. The proposed rule will be published in the Federal Register in the near future.
