Control of communicable diseases; restrictions on African rodents, prairie dogs, and certain other animals. Interim final rule; supplement and partial reopening of comment period

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reopening the comment period for the interim final rule on the capture, transport, sale, barter, exchange, distribution, and release of African rodents, prairie dogs, and certain other animals, which was published in the Federal Register of November 4, 2003 (68 FR 62353). FDA is taking this action because it is adding new information, primarily in the form of peer-reviewed scientific literature, to the administrative record. FDA is reopening the comment period for 30 days for the sole purpose of inviting public comments on the information being added to the administrative record.
