Abstract
We are closing the Harry S Truman Animal Import Center (HSTAIC) and amending the animal import regulations to remove all provisions related to HSTAIC. The facility, which has been used for high risk imports, such as ruminants from countries where foot-and- mouth disease exists, has been chronically under used and has never generated enough revenue to be self-sufficient.
