## Abstract

We are amending the regulations regarding the importation of horses from Mexico to remove the requirement that such horses be quarantined for not less than 7 days in vector-proof quarantine facilities before being imported into the United States. This action is warranted because Mexico has reported no cases of Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) in more than a year, and we have determined that horses imported into the United States from Mexico without a 7-day quarantine will not pose a risk of transmitting VEE to horses in the United States.
