## Abstract

We are recognizing Great Britain as free of exotic Newcastle disease (END). This action is based on information received from Great Britain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, and is in accordance with standards set by the Office International des Epizooties for recognizing a country as free of END. This action will relieve restrictions on the importation of carcasses, or parts or products of carcasses, of poultry, game birds, or other birds from Great Britain. It will relieve the END-specific restrictions on the importation of eggs (other than hatching eggs) laid by poultry, game birds, or other birds from Great Britain. This action will also relieve the quarantine requirements for poultry hatching eggs imported from Great Britain.
