## Abstract

We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the tuberculosis regulations concerning the interstate movement of cattle and bison by raising the designation of Virginia from a modified accredited State to an accredited-free State. We have determined that Virginia meets the criteria for designation as an accredited-free State.
