Animal ID update
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Undersecretary Bill Hawks reassured the members of the NIAA Animal Identification and Information Systems Committee that mandatory participation in the NAIS would not be put in place until all confidentiality issues had been resolved. According to an NIAA release, the administration hopes to make that a reality by 2009.
Hawks urged industry members to actively support a bill sent to Congress by the Bush Administration that would exempt the data collected for NAIS from the Freedom of Information Act.
Neil Hammerschmidt, NAIS coordinator for the USDA, reported on various field trials and the voluntary premises identification programs in place in 45 states. More than 50,000 premises have been registered across the country. In addition, he reported that the USDA plans to publish the NAIS Strategic Plan in the Federal Register in the near future. He urged industry members to review the plan carefully and make appropriate comments and recommendations.
