Transcript Movement Components during and FMD Outbreak

USAHA Resolution 26
 The United States Animal Health Association (USAHA) requests
the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service, Veterinary Services and the
National Assembly of State Animal Health Officials collaborate
with USAHA and private and public stakeholders to create and
maintain an easy-to-use, publically-accessible resource that
compiles identification, documentation, disease-specific, and
other movement requirements for livestock moving interstate.
 Furthermore, the USAHA supports the development of this
resource being created in a manner that would allow for
additional uses such as emergency response.
General Requirements
 Regulatory requirements need to be uniformly presented
across all States and easy to interpret.
 The system should provide links throughout the Web
pages for easy access to other relevant references
(tagging site, approved livestock facilities, etc.) integrating
that information with the responses provided to users
where possible.

General Assumptions
 A single “pathway” (URL) to the information is most desirable,
although it does not imply a centralized repository for holding the
data. However, that option was considered.
 The system should be established for cattle first, but developed so it
can be expanded to other species in the future.
 The information must provide the import requirements for moving
cattle from each State to another specific State.
 The system should have open access to all stakeholders; i.e., there
should be no fee to access the information.
4
General Assumptions
 Developing and maintaining the system, including updating
the information as regulations change, should be outsourced
to minimize the time requirement of the States. Therefore,
funding sources must to be obtained to support the project.
 The system should be accessible via mobile devices.
 The system’s information should be accurate and updated in a
timely manner when regulatory changes are made.
5
General Assumptions
 States will be responsible for providing requirements at least
at the statutory level if not at the lay person level for each of
the potentially importing States. This may be accomplished by
States cooperating with an individual or group responsible for
compiling the information.
 While the time commitment of States to support the system
needs to be minimized, States should enter into agreements
accepting legal responsibility for the completeness and
accuracy of State information. They must also agree to notify
the administrator when requirements change.
