Abstract
We are amending the regulations for importing sheep and goats from Canada and Mexico to require that, with the exception of sheep and goats imported through land border ports for immediate slaughter, and wethers imported through land border ports, all sheep and goats imported into the United States from Canada and Mexico be accompanied by an import permit. This change is necessary to prevent the importation of sheep and goats that may be affected with scrapie.
