Title: Animal Disease Traceability 
Abstract: This rulemaking would establish a new part in the Code of Federal Regulations containing general identification and documentation requirements for livestock moving interstate. The purpose of the new regulations is to improve our ability to trace livestock in the event that disease is found. The regulations will provide national traceability standards for livestock moved interstate and allow each State and tribe the flexibility to develop ways of meeting the standards that will work best for them.
