Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 150 / Monday, August 9, 2021 / Notices below as the regulations govern the importation of certain animals and animal products into the United States to prevent the introduction of various animal diseases, including Newcastle disease and highly pathogenic avian influenza HPAI. The regulations prohibit or restrict the importation of live poultry, poultry meat, and other poultry products from regions where these diseases are considered to exist.
Section 94.6 of the regulations contains requirements governing the importation into the United States of carcasses, meat, parts or products of carcasses, and eggs other than hatching eggs of poultry, game birds, or other birds from regions of the world where HPAI exists or is reasonably believed to exist. HPAI is an extremely infectious and potentially fatal form of avian influenza in birds and poultry that, once established, can spread rapidly from flock to flock. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service APHIS
maintains a restrictions list of regions it considers affected with HPAI of any subtype on the APHIS website at https www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/
ourfocus/animalhealth/animal-andanimal-product-import-information/
animal-health-status-of-regions.
APHIS receives notice of HPAI
outbreaks from veterinary officials of the exporting country, from the World Organization for Animal Health OIE,1
or from other sources the Administrator determines to be reliable.
On November 18, 2020, the veterinary authorities of the Republic of Croatia reported to the OIE an HPAI occurrence in that country. On November 25, 2020, after confirming that HPAI occurred in commercial birds or poultry, APHIS
added the Republic of Croatia to the list of regions where HPAI exists. On that same date, APHIS issued an import alert notifying stakeholders that effective November 21, 2020, APHIS imposed restrictions on the importation of poultry, commercial birds, other types of birds research, performing, ratites, any avian hatching eggs, unprocessed avian products and byproducts, and certain fresh poultry products from the Republic of Croatia to mitigate risk of HPAI introduction into the United States.
On January 7, 2021, the veterinary authorities of the Republic of Senegal reported to the OIE an HPAI occurrence in that country. On January 12, 2021, after confirming that the HPAI occurred in commercial birds or poultry, APHIS
