What the agency says

We are proposing the creation of regulations governing the US Swine Health Improvement Plan (US SHIP). US SHIP would be a voluntary livestock improvement program aimed at improving biosecurity, traceability, and disease surveillance for swine health. The swine industry has requested the establishment of US SHIP, which builds on an existing pilot program initiated by industry. We propose to codify US SHIP as a Federal regulatory program and allow participating sites to obtain certifications of disease-monitored status for African swine fever and classical swine fever. Establishment of US SHIP would allow participating sites to market their products with the relevant certification status, which could limit disruptions to international and interstate commerce during outbreaks.
