handle is hein.gao/gaobablym0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Office of the General Counsel B-281889 January 29, 1999 The Honorable Richard G. Lugar Chairman The Honorable Tom Harkin Ranking Minority Member Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry United States Senate The Honorable Larry Combest Chairman The Honorable Charles W. Stenholm Ranking Minority Member Committee on Agriculture House of Representatives Subject: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service: Pseudorabies in Swine; Payment of Indemnity Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), entitled Pseudorabies in Swine; Payment of Indemnity (RIN: 0579-AB10). We received the rule on January 13, 1999. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim rule on January 15, 1999. 64 Fed. Reg. 2545. The interim rule establishes the animal health regulations to provide for the payment of indemnity for the voluntary depopulation of herds of swine known to be infected with pseudorabies. APHIS states that the payment of indemnity will encourage depopulation of infected herds and, therefore, will reduce the risk of other swine becoming infected with the disease. Enclosed is our assessment of the APHIS' compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that APHIS complied with the applicable requirements. GAO/OGC-99-31
