Classical Swine Fever status of France and Spain 
 
 The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Serv ices is amending the regulations concerning 
the importation of animals and animal products to  recognize France and Spain as regions in which 
classical swine fever (CSF) is not known to exist, and from which breeding swine, swine semen, and 
pork and pork products may be imported into th e United States under certain conditions, in the 
absence of restrictions associated with other forei gn animal diseases of swine.  This rulemaking will 
ensure that breeding swine, swine semen, and po rk and pork products imported from France or Spain 
have originated in one of those countries or in any other region recognized by the Animal and Plant 
Health Inspection Service as free of CSF and that, pr ior to export to the Unit ed States, such animals 
and animal products have not been commingled with  animals and animal pr oducts from regions where 
CSF exists.  This final rule is effective 20 April 2004. www.aphis.usda. gov/ppd/rad/webrepor  or
