## Abstract

This final rule allows fresh, chilled, and frozen pork and pork products from the Mexican State of Yucatan to transit the United States, under certain conditions, for export to another country. Previously, we allowed such pork and pork products only from the Mexican States of Sonora and Chihuahua to transit the United States for export. Otherwise, fresh, chilled, or frozen pork and pork products are prohibited movement into the United States from Mexico because of hog cholera in Mexico. Yucatan, like Sonora and Chihuahua, appears to be a low-risk area for hog cholera, and we believe that fresh, chilled, and frozen pork and pork products from Yucatan could transit the United States with minimal risk of introducing hog cholera. This action will facilitate trade.
