Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs announced that it had approved an interim final rule from the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on “Revise Conditions for Payment of Indemnity and Compensation for HPAI [Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza]”. The IFR was sent to OIRA on October 23rd, 2024.
According to the Fall 2024 Unified Agenda entry for this rulemaking:
“The current HPAI
indemnity regulations require producers above de minimis thresholds to have a
biosecurity plan as a condition for indemnification. The Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service (APHIS) intends this interim rule to require a
successful biosecurity audit for HPAI-infected premises intending to restock
and for buffer zone (uninfected) premises that wish to request that poultry be
moved onto the premises. Other changes are also being considered.”
