News
Release
Texas Animal Health Commission
Box l2966 * Austin, Texas 78711 * (800) 550-8242 * FAX
(512) 719-0719
Bob Hillman, DVM * Executive Director
For info, contact Carla Everett, information officer, at
1-800-550-8242, ext. 710,
or ceverett@tahc.state.tx.us
For immediate release
Texas Animal Health Commission Cancels March 23 Meeting
The Texas Animal Health
Commission (TAHC) has canceled its March 23 meeting,
which had been scheduled in Round Rock (near Austin).
The commissioners had planned to consider proposed
regulations that would require registration of sites
where livestock, exotic livestock, domestic fowl and
exotic fowl are held, managed or handled, and to charge
a fee for premises registration. More than 8,200 of the
state’s estimated 200,000 premises have been registered
as of March 8, and voluntary premises registration
continues.
Premises registration is the foundation of the National
Animal Identification System (NAIS), which, when fully
implemented, would enable animal health officials to
trace the movement of diseased or exposed livestock or
poultry within 48 hours.
"We are seeking from the U.S. Department of Agriculture
clear direction on National Animal Identification System
timelines for implementation,"
said Dr. Bob Hillman, Texas' state veterinarian and TAHC
executive director. He explained that, after the passage
of HB 1361, the TAHC commissioners proposed regulations
for premises registration, and in February, held a
Commission meeting to hear comments on the proposals.
The commissioners continue to consider the comments they
received.
"The next meeting of the Commission is scheduled
Thursday, May 4," said Dr. Hillman. "However, the agenda
for that meeting will not be developed until late April.
It is too early to know whether the proposed regulations
will be considered at that meeting."
Information regarding the Commission meeting will be
announced on the TAHC web site, in the Texas Register
and through public announcement. All TAHC commission
meetings are open to the public. The TAHC's Austin
headquarters may be reached at 1-800-550-8242, and the
agency's web site can be accessed at http://www.tahc.state.tx.us
