We are proposing to amend the brucellosis regulations in order to facilitate research to be conducted on brucellosis-exposed or
infected animals. Under the current regulations, such research could adversely affect a State's brucellosis classification. For example, the criteria for achieving and maintaining Class Free status provide that
all cattle herds in the State or area must be released from quarantine and remain free of brucellosis for 12 consecutive months. Because the current definition of herd includes animals held in a research facility, a State could lose its Class Free status by allowing such research. By providing an exception for brucellosis-exposed or infected
animals held within federally approved research facilities, this proposed rule would enable the initiation of necessary brucellosis
research in Class Free States.
