AGENCY:

Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION:

Notice; Correction.

SUMMARY:

The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is correcting a notice that published in the Federal Register on November 8, 2024. The notice announced proposed adjusted user fee rates for the costs of providing certain goods and services, including veterinary diagnostic goods and services and veterinary services for imports and exports of live animals and animal products. The notice erroneously omitted a proposed adjusted fee in one of the tables provided. This document updates that table.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

For information on the user fee activities covered by this notice, contact Ms. Lisa Slimmer, User Fee Financial Team Manager, Veterinary Services Money Management, 920 Main Campus Drive, Raleigh, NC 27606; (919) 414-7205.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 8, 2024, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service published a notice (89 FR 88697-88712) that is open for comment until December 9, 2024, and announced proposed adjusted user fee rates for the costs of providing certain goods and services, including veterinary diagnostic goods and services and veterinary services for imports and exports of live animals and animal products. The notice erroneously omitted a proposed adjusted fee for “Bacterial disease CF antigens, all other” in table 21. This notice corrects the inadvertent omission and updates table 21.

Correction

In FR Doc. 2024-25826, appearing at 89 FR 88697-88712 in the Federal Register on November 8, 2024, the following correction is made:

Table 21 [Corrected]

¹ A reagent culture is a bacterial culture that has been subcultured one or more times after being tested for purity and identity. It is intended for use as a reagent with a diagnostic test such as the leptospiral agglutination test.
² A reference culture is a bacterial culture that has been thoroughly tested for purity and identity. It should be suitable as a master seed for future cultures.
