| E8-15289 | Recordkeeping for Approved Livestock Facilities and Slaughtering and Rendering Establishments | Proposed Rule | We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding the interstate movement of livestock to require approved livestock facilities and listed slaughtering and rendering establishments to maintain certain records for 5 years. Currently, approved livestock facilities are required to retain certain records for 2 years, and there are no record retention provisions that apply to listed slaughtering and rendering establishments. Requiring the retention of certain records for 5 years would allow us to trace the prior movements of diseased livestock further into the past than is currently possible, thus providing the opportunity to locate potentially infected or exposed livestock that might otherwise remain unidentified. We are also proposing to require the operators of slaughtering and rendering establishments to sign listing agreements to document their agreement to comply with the requirements of the regulations for listed slaughtering and rendering establishments. Such agreements are currently required for approved livestock facilities, but not for slaughtering and rendering facilities. The proposed change would eliminate that inconsistency. | 2008-07-07 | 2008 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/07/07/E8-15289/recordkeeping-for-approved-livestock-facilities-and-slaughtering-and-rendering-establishments | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-07-07/pdf/E8-15289.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are proposing to amend the regulations regarding the interstate movement of livestock to require approved livestock facilities and listed slaughtering and rendering establishments to maintain certain records for 5 years.
