Under
IC 4-22-2-24, notice is hereby given that on July 10, 2014, at 9:40 a.m., at the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, 1202 East 38th
Street, Discovery Hall Suite 100, Indianapolis, Indiana, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health will hold a public hearing on a proposed rule that amends
345 IAC 1 governing the traceability of livestock and poultry moving interstate. The primary purpose of the proposed rule is to conform Indiana State Board of Animal Health's rules to the new United States Department of Agriculture - Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) requirements at 9 CFR Part 86 that establish minimum national official identification and documentation requirements for the traceability of livestock and poultry moving interstate, including officially identifying covered animals and moving animals with a certificate of veterinary inspection or other documentation. The proposed rule also makes numerous changes to
345 IAC 1 in order to clarify intrastate livestock and poultry documentation and identification requirements. The rule makes amendments to each article within Title 345 in order to align definitions with 9 CFR Part 86, relocate disease-specific requirements for livestock and poultry that are currently set forth in
345 IAC 1, and make technical updates and changes.
