Agency: USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
Action: Seeking Public Comments by May 3, 2024.
Why it matters: USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) wants to modify an existing system of records; specifically, the APHIS Animal Health Surveillance and Monitoring System, USDA/APHIS-15. APHIS uses this system to monitor animal health data for disease and pest control and surveillance programs. The notice outlines several changes to the system of records, including updates to policies and practices for storage as well as retention and disposal of records in the system.
