0579-AE79 202404 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0579 Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service APHIS 0500 Department of Agriculture USDA Revise Conditions for Payment of Indemnity and Compensation for HPAI

The current HPAI indemnity regulations require producers above de minimis thresholds to have a biosecurity plan as a condition for indemnification. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) intends this interim rule to require a successful biosecurity audit for HPAI-infected premises intending to restock and for buffer zone (uninfected) premises that wish to request that poultry be moved onto the premises. Other changes are also being considered.
