ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as final rule. SUMMARY: We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim rule that amended the Texas (splenetic) fever in cattle regulations by updating the incorporation by reference of the Texas Animal Health Commission regulations that contain the description of the areas in Texas quarantined because of ticks.
The interim rule was necessary to update the incorporation by reference to reflect the effective date of the current Texas Animal Health Commission regulations that describe the quarantined area. EFFECTIVE DATE: The interim rule became effective on April 16, 2002. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Glen Garris, Senior Staff Officer, Invasive Species Team, Animal Health Programs Staff, VS, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 33, Riverdale, MD 20737-1231;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In an interim rule effective and published in the **Federal Register** on April 16, 2002 (67 FR 18466-18467, Docket No. 01-110-1), we amended the Texas (splenetic) fever in cattle regulations in 9 CFR part 72 by updating the incorporation by reference of the Texas Animal Health Commission regulations that contain the description of the areas in Texas quarantined because of ticks. The interim rule was necessary to update the incorporation by reference to reflect the effective date of the current Texas Animal Health Commission regulations that describe the quarantined area. Comments on the interim rule were required to be received on or before June 17, 2002. We did not receive any comments.
