Abstract
We are declaring Costa Rica free of exotic Newcastle disease (END). Declaring Costa Rica free of END is appropriate because the country has had no clinical, pathological, or laboratory confirmation of END for the last 5 years. This action removes the prohibition on the importation into the United States, from Costa Rica, of live birds, game birds, poultry, and their products.
