DISEASE I N MEXICO

Pursuant to the provisions of section 306 of the Tariff Act of 1930 19 . S. C.
1306 and section 2 of the act of Febru ary 2,1903, as amended 21. 6, C. I l l , it hgs been determined, and the Secre tary of til Treasury has been notified, that rinderpest and foot-and-mouth dis ease do not now exist in Mexico, and 94.1, as amended, of Part 94, Subchap ter D, Chapter I, Title 9, Code of Federal Regulations 94.1 of B. A. I. Order 373, as amended, is hereby further amended by deleting subparagraph 1 of para graph a relating to Mexico.
On April 14, 1954, the United States Department of Agriculture issued a press release stating that if the favorable con ditions with respect to foot-and-mouth -disease ip Mexico continued that country would be declared free of the disease as of December 31, 1954. TheJoint Mexi can-United States Commission for Pre vention of Foot-and-Mouth Disease has directly planned and supervised the eradication campaign since the diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease in Mexico was confirmed on M ay 23, 1953, and the United States Department of Agricul ture Livestock Industry AdvisoryCom mittee fo r Foot-and-Mouth Disease has worked closely with the Department and the Commission in this matter. The Commission kept the Department fully advised as to the details of the eradi cation program and of all other facts relative to the existence of the disease in Mexico. On December 20 and 2, 1954, the Commission met to consider the sit uation and informed the United States Department of Agriculture that the dis ease did not exist in Mexico at that time.

The fact that foot-and-mouth disease does not now exist in Mexico has jst ben rconfrmed.
. The determination, notification, and amendment remove the present prohi bí tions under section 306 of the Tariff Act upon the importation from Mexico into the United States of the an im als and meats specified in paragraph b of said 94.1, as amended, and render the commodities specified in 94.2 to 94.5
of said Part 94, as amended, and origi nating in Mexico, fro longer subject to the provisions of that part.
Accordingly, under section 4 of the Ad ministrative Procedure Act 5 U. S. C.
1003, it is found upon good cause that publication of notice in the F ederal R eg ister and other public procedure with respect to the amendment are imprac ticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest, and the amendment may be made effective less than 30 days after publication in the F ederal R egister.
The foregoing amendment shall be come effective upon issuance.
