## Abstract

We are amending the Texas (splenetic) fever in cattle regulations by removing the section that describes the area of Texas quarantined because of ticks and replacing it with an incorporation by reference of the Texas Animal Health Commission's regulations that describe the same area. Because the quarantined area in Texas is defined and established by the Texas Animal Health Commission and an up-to-date description of the quarantined area is provided in the commission's regulations in the Texas Administrative Code, we do not believe that it is necessary to reproduce that description in our regulations. This change in the regulations will eliminate the need for us to maintain a description of the Texas quarantined area in our regulations, which will reduce the volume of material included in those regulations while continuing to provide for the treatment and inspection of cattle moved from the area of Texas quarantined for ticks.
