Plain Language Analysis
The proposed rule makes the following modifications to provide for flexibility, clarity and consistency:
1. Definitions and terms.
The proposed rule makes the following changes to definitions and terms:
Replaces the phrase, “buying or selling” with “trading in” under the definition of animal market to match the statutory definition under s. 95.68 (1) (ag), Stats. Adds a definition of “trading in livestock or wild animals” to clarify that animal markets trade, buy, sell or swap livestock or wild animals.
Changes the spelling of “feedlot” to “feed lot” to match statutory language.
Modifies the definition of “Brucellosis and Tuberculosis uniform methods and rules” and “Johne’s disease national program standards” to clarify that official individual identification requirements of any animal tested for these diseases must meet the requirements specified under ch. ATCP 10 and not the identification requirements specified under the uniform methods and rules or national program standards. Changes the definition of “farm-raised deer” under ch. ATCP 10 to match the definition of “farm-raised deer” under ch. ATCP 12. Changes the term, “federally approved livestock import market,” to “federally approved livestock marketing facility.”
Changes the definition of “individual” under ch. ATCP 12 to match the definition of “individual” under ch. ATCP 10.
