Title: ●Cattle Fever Tick; Importation Requirements for Ruminants From Mexico 
Abstract:

This rulemaking amends the regulations to recognize the State of Sonora as a region in Mexico that is free of fever ticks. It also establishes an exemption from acaricide dipping treatment requirements, and the documentation requirements associated with such dipping, that were formerly applicable to cattle and other ruminants originating from Sonora as a condition of eligibility for entry to the United States, provided that certain conditions are met. This action removes restrictions on the importation of cattle and other ruminants from Sonora that we believe are no longer necessary and reduce the costs associated with tick dipping for exporters and importers of ruminants.
