Abstract
We are amending the regulations by removing Northern Ireland and Norway from the list of countries that are considered to be free of exotic Newcastle disease. We are taking this action based on reports we have received from the Office International des Epizooties and the Governments of Northern Ireland and Norway, which confirm that outbreaks of exotic Newcastle disease have occurred in Northern Ireland and Norway. This action restricts the importation of live birds, poultry, and poultry products into the United States from Northern Ireland and Norway.
