Abstract
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the tuberculosis regulations concerning the interstate movement of cattle and bison by reducing the designation of Wisconsin from an accredited-free State to an accredited-free (suspended) State. We have determined that Wisconsin no longer meets the criteria for designation as an accredited-free State but meets the criteria for designation as an accredited-free (suspended) State. This change was necessary to prevent the spread of tuberculosis in cattle and bison.
