APHIS Proposes to Loosen BSE Restrictions on Bovines, Bovine Products From Nicaragua
The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is proposing to loosen requirements on importation of bovines and bovine products from Nicaragua, it said in a notice. APHIS intends to reclassify Nicaragua as having negligible risk of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, concurring with recommendations recently issued by the Organization for Animal Health, the agency said. Nicaragua is currently classified as having controlled risk of BSE. Imports of bovines and bovine products from countries with controlled BSE risk face tighter restrictions. Comments are due Aug. 16.
