Abstract: Imported ruminants must be monitored for animal health diseases of concern so that they do not spread to domestic animals. Private facilities can apply to APHIS to perform this monitoring. This collection allows private facilities to be recognized by APHIS, if they submit an application letter, cooperative agreement, and other pertinent information.
