Final rule; technical amendment: Importation of Beef From a Region in Argentina (Docket No. APHIS-2014-0032-0379)

Addendum to Regular Notification 2017-01-26
G/SPS/N/USA/2699/Add.2

Description

In a final rule published in the Federal Register on 2 July 2015, and effective on 1 September 2015, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) amended the regulations governing the importation of certain animals, meat, and other animal products to allow, under certain conditions, the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from a region in Argentina located north of Patagonia South and Patagonia North B, referred to as Northern Argentina. However, we inadvertently limited the requirement for the maturation of carcasses to meat derived from bovines. Therefore, we are amending the paragraph to remove the limitation.
