Certification Program and Interstate Movement of Farmed or Captive Deer, Elk,

USDA.
Action Notice and request for comments.
Summary We are giving notice of changes to the Program Standards for the
chronic wasting disease (CWD) herd certification program. The CWD herd
certification program is a voluntary, cooperative program that establishes
minimum requirements for the interstate movement of farmed or captive cervids,
provisions for participating States to administer Approved State CWD Herd
Certification Programs, and provisions for participating herds to become
certified as having a low risk of being infected with CWD. The Program Standards
provide optional guidance, explanation, and clarification on how to meet the
requirements for interstate movement and for the Herd Certification Programs.
Recently, we convened a group of State, laboratory, and industry representatives
to discuss possible changes to the current Program Standards. The revised
Program Standards reflect these discussions, and we believe the revised version
will improve understanding of the program among State and industry cooperators.
We are making the revised version of the Program Standards available for review
and comment.
Dates We will consider all comments that we receive on or before March 31,
2014.

Supplementary Information Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible
spongiform encephalopathy of cervids (members of Cervidae, the deer family)
that, as of May 2011, has been found only in wild and captive animals in North
America and in captive animals in the Republic of Korea. First recognized as a
clinical “wasting” syndrome in 1967, the disease is typified by chronic weight
loss leading to death. Species currently known to be susceptible to CWD via
natural routes of transmission include Rocky Mountain elk, mule deer,
white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, sika deer, and moose.
On June 13, 2012, we published in theFederal Register(77 FR 35542-35571,
Docket No. 00-108-8) an interim final rule (1) that made effective on August 13,
2012, a final rule published on July 21, 2006 (71 FR 41682-41707, Docket No.
00-108-3), with changes to the final rule as discussed in a previous proposal
and in the interim final rule itself. This action established a voluntary herd
certification program in 9 CFR part 55 for CWD in farmed or captive cervids.
States that choose to participate must establish State Approved Herd
Certification Programs in which States agree to perform tasks and meet
requirements to ensure that the program is being effectively administered.
Owners of deer, elk, and moose herds who choose to participate in the approved
State programs must follow the program requirements for animal identification,
testing, herd management, and movement of animals into and from herds.
The interim final rule also established a new part 81 containing interstate
movement requirements designed to prevent the spread of CWD through the movement
of farmed or captive deer, elk, or moose. The interim final rule set a
compliance date of December 10, 2012, for the interstate movement provisions in
9 CFR part 81, to give States and producers time to come into compliance with
the herd certification program requirements in 9 CFR part 55.
The regulations for the voluntary CWD herd certification program in 9 CFR
part 55 establish minimum requirements for State and herd owner participation
and allow States and herd owners to use any effective means to comply with those
requirements. For example, participating States are required in § 55.23(a)(6) to
effectively monitor and enforce State quarantines and State reporting laws and
regulations for CWD. Each State may have different means of meeting that
requirement. Similarly, herd owners participating in the voluntary program must,
under § 55.23(b)(2), have fencing around their premises that is adequate to
prevent ingress or egress of cervids; the regulations do not specify what type
of fencing is necessary to meet this requirement, allowing our guidance to
change based on scientific information and experience.
To facilitate State and herd owner participation in the voluntary herd
certification program, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)
made available in July 2012 a document titled “Chronic Wasting Disease Program
Standards.” This document provided detailed descriptions ofsuggested methods for
complying with the requirements in 9 CFR parts 55 and 81.
During the October 2012 U.S. Animal Health Association meeting, a
resolution was passed asking APHIS to work with cervid industry stakeholders to
revise the CWD Program Standards. Accordingly, we convened a group of State,
laboratory, and industry representatives to receive their input on potential
revisions. The group met from November 2012 to June 2013 to completely review
the CWD Program Standards. The revised draft, which is based on those
discussions, is intended to provide more detailed guidance to States and herd
owners who are seeking to participate in the Federal CWD herd certification
program. As we believe the collaborative process has been helpful in revising
the CWD Program Standards, we plan to work with State, laboratory, and industry
representatives to review the standards at least once a year.
The new draft of the CWD Program Standards can be viewed at the CWD Web
site, http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/animal_diseases/cwd/,
or on Regulations.gov (see theADDRESSESsection earlier in this document for
instructions on how to access Regulations.gov).
We welcome public comment on this notice and the proposed revisions to the
CWD Program Standards. After considering all comments, if no substantive changes
to the CWD Program Standards are deemed necessary by the APHIS Administrator,
the revised CWD Program Standards will be adopted as final 30 days after the
close of the comment period for this notice. If substantive changes are deemed
necessary, we will publish an additional document in theFederal Registerto
discuss them; otherwise, the final version of the revised CWD Program Standards
will be announced and made available on the CWD Web site.

Certification Program Document ID APHIS-2006-0118-0096
Document Title Chronic Wasting Disease Herd Certification Program and
Interstate Movement of Farmed or Captive Deer, Elk, and Moose
with great sadness, my comments are as follows ;
DUE to the likelihood of CWD transmission to humans as a zootic disease,
and proven transmission of CWD to other species via the lab, and the highly
environmental transmission routes of CWD, the threat that game farms pose to the
wild is great.
RECENTLY, in the May 2009 CDC warns of this potential of prions to humans
via CWD and Nutritional Supplements from ELK ANTLER VELVET.
ALSO RECENTLY, a multi-state recall of ELK MEAT PRODUCTS FROM A CWD
POSITIVE ELK. (they are not recalling all this meat for the well being of the
dead cwd positive elk.)
SOME of these game farms have proven to have a high infectious rate for
CWD. Some as high as 79% infection rate.
A NEW 2nd strain of CWD i.e. (THE WISCONSIN STRAIN of CWD?), and what will
this curtail i.e. as in transmission ??? we found out with BSE in cattle, that
the atypical strains, some are more virulent in transmission.
FOR all these reasons, it is urgent to keep the failures of the CWD factory
farming industry of 'big rack' deer and elk, to spreading to the wild.
I urge that 100% CWD testing of elk, deer, and all animals on game farms
tested for CWD/TSE.
ANY positive should result in complete herd eradication.
ANY GAME farm with one positive CWD animal must be shut down for good due
to the ramifications of environmental infection risk factors, and future
infection there from, there of.
THE land there from, must be contained, and quarantined for 5 years, with
no introduction of any game and or farm producing livestock for humans and or
animals, and or crop production. Then a reevaluation of that farm/land and
environmental risk factors there of must be done for a reassessment, before any
use of that farm/land could go forward.
ANY and all water run off must be contained at owners expense.
ALL elk and deer and or any animal from game farms, must be identifiable
and traceable, at all times.
THIS all should be mandatory, and regulated by the federal government,
because the chance of different regulations, and lack of enforcement, state by
state, would enhance the spreading of CWD.
WE must stop CWD before it spreads to all STATES, and until a validated
100% CWD TSE live test is available, one that can be used at birth, and until
there is a way to completely decontaminate land that has been infected with the
CWD agent, in my opinion, these draconian measures are the only plausible
measures which i know of that can be taken, which might stop this spread of CWD
to every state.

Oral transmission and early lymphoid tropism of chronic wasting

that CWD PrP res can be detected in lymphoid tissues draining the alimentary
tract within a few weeks after oral exposure to infectious prions and may
reflect the initial pathway of CWD infection in deer. The rapid infection of
deer fawns following exposure by the most plausible natural route is consistent
with the efficient horizontal transmission of CWD in nature and enables
accelerated studies of transmission and pathogenesis in the native species.

Tel: 215-597-4390
Dear Mr. Raymond:Food and Drug Administration Investigator Gregory E.
Beichner conducted an inspection of your animal feed manufacturing operation,
located in Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, on March 23,2001, and determined that your
firm manufactures animal feeds including feeds containing prohibited materials.
The inspection found significant deviations from the requirements set forth in
Title 21, code of Federal Regulations, part 589.2000 - Animal Proteins
Prohibited in Ruminant Feed. The regulation is intended to prevent the
establishment and amplification of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) . Such
deviations cause products being manufactured at this facility to be misbranded
within the meaning of Section 403(f), of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic
Act (the Act).Our investigation found failure to label your swine feed with the
required cautionary statement "Do Not Feed to cattleor other Ruminants" The FDA
suggests that the statement be distinguished by different type-size or color or
other means of highlighting the statement so that it is easily noticed by a
purchaser.
In addition, we note that you are using approximately 140 pounds of cracked
corn to flush your mixer used in the manufacture of animal feeds containing
prohibited material. This flushed material is fed to wild game including deer, a
ruminant animal.Feed material which may potentially contain prohibited material
should not be fed to ruminant animals which may become part of the food
chain.The above is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of deviations
fromthe regulations. As a manufacturer of materials intended for animalfeed use,
you are responsible for assuring that your overall operation and the products
you manufacture and distribute are in compliance withthe law. We have enclosed a
copy of FDA's Small Entity Compliance Guideto assist you with complying with the
regulation...

Draft Guidance on Use of Material From Deer and Elk in Animal Feed; CVM
Updates on Deer and Elk Withdrawn FDA Veterinarian Newsletter July/August 2003
Volume XVIII, No 4
FDA has announced the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled “Use of Material from Deer and Elk in Animal Feed.” This draft guidance
document (GFI #158), when finalized, will describe FDA’s current thinking
regarding the use in animal feed of material from deer and elk that are positive
for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) or that are at high risk for CWD.
CWD is a neurological (brain) disease of farmed and wild deer and elk that
belong in the cervidae animal family (cervids). Only deer and elk are known to
be susceptible to CWD by natural transmission. The disease has been found in
farmed and wild mule deer, white-tailed deer, North American elk, and farmed
black-tailed deer. CWD belongs to a family of animal and human diseases called
transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). TSEs are very rare, but are
always fatal.
This draft Level 1 guidance, when finalized, will represent the Agency’s
current thinking on the topic. It does not create or confer any rights for or on
any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternate method
may be used as long as it satisfies the requirements of applicable statutes and
regulations.

Guidance for Industry1
Use of Material from Deer and Elk in Animal Feed
This guidance represents the Food and Drug Administration’s current
thinking on the use of material from deer and elk in animal feed. It does not
create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind
FDA or the public. You can use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies
the requirements of applicable statutes or regulations. If you want to discuss
an alternative approach, contact the FDA staff responsible for implementing this
guidance. If you cannot identify the appropriate FDA staff, call the appropriate
number listed on the title page of this guidance.
I. Introduction
FDA’s guidance documents, including this guidance, do not establish legally
enforceable responsibilities. Instead, guidances describe the Agency’s current
thinking on a topic and should be viewed only as recommendations, unless
specific regulatory or statutory requirements are cited. The use of the word
“should” in Agency guidances means that something is suggested or recommended,
but not required.
Under FDA’s BSE feed regulation (21 CFR 589.2000) most material from deer
and elk is prohibited for use in feed for ruminant animals. This guidance
document describes FDA’s recommendations regarding the use in all animal feed of
all material from deer and elk that are positive for Chronic Wasting Disease
(CWD) or are considered at high risk for CWD. The potential risks from CWD to
humans or non-cervid animals such as poultry and swine are not well understood.
However, because of recent recognition that CWD is spreading rapidly in
white-tailed deer, and because CWD’s route of transmission is poorly understood,
FDA is making recommendations regarding the use in animal feed of rendered
materials from deer and elk that are CWD-positive or that are at high risk for
CWD.
II. Background
CWD is a neurological (brain) disease of farmed and wild deer and elk that
belong in the animal family cervidae (cervids). Only deer and elk are known to
be susceptible to CWD by natural transmission. The disease has been found in
farmed and wild mule deer,
1 This guidance has been prepared by the Division of Animal Feeds in the
Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at the Food and Drug Administration.

CONTAINS NON-BINDING RECOMMENDATIONS
2
white-tailed deer, North American elk, and in farmed black-tailed deer. CWD
belongs to a family of animal and human diseases called transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies (TSEs). These include bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or
“mad cow” disease) in cattle; scrapie in sheep and goats; and classical and
variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseases (CJD and vCJD) in humans. There is no known
treatment for these diseases, and there is no vaccine to prevent them. In
addition, although validated postmortem diagnostic tests are available, there
are no validated diagnostic tests for CWD that can be used to test for the
disease in live animals.
III.
Use in animal feed of material from CWD-positive deer and elk
Material from CWD-positive animals may not be used in any animal feed or
feed ingredients. Pursuant to Sec. 402(a)(5) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act, animal feed and feed ingredients containing material from a
CWD-positive animal would be considered adulterated. FDA recommends that any
such adulterated feed or feed ingredients be recalled or otherwise removed from
the marketplace.
IV.
Use in animal feed of material from deer and elk considered at high risk
for CWD
Deer and elk considered at high risk for CWD include: (1) animals from
areas declared by State officials to be endemic for CWD and/or to be CWD
eradication zones; and (2) deer and elk that at some time during the 60-month
period immediately before the time of slaughter were in a captive herd that
contained a CWD-positive animal.
FDA recommends that materials from deer and elk considered at high risk for
CWD no longer be entered into the animal feed system. Under present
circumstances, FDA is not recommending that feed made from deer and elk from a
non-endemic area be recalled if a State later declares the area endemic for CWD
or a CWD eradication zone. In addition, at this time, FDA is not recommending
that feed made from deer and elk believed to be from a captive herd that
contained no CWD-positive animals be recalled if that herd is subsequently found
to contain a CWD-positive animal. V. Use in animal feed of material from deer
and elk NOT considered at high risk for CWD
FDA continues to consider materials from deer and elk NOT considered at
high risk for CWD to be acceptable for use in NON-RUMINANT animal feeds in
accordance with current agency regulations, 21 CFR 589.2000. Deer and elk not
considered at high risk include: (1) deer and elk from areas not declared by
State officials to be endemic for CWD and/or to be CWD eradication zones; and
(2) deer and elk that were not at some time during the 60-month period
immediately before the time of slaughter in a captive herd that contained a
CWD-positive animal.

Subject: Re: CWD AMERICA ???
hello Dr. Jebara,
many thanks for your swift and kind reply.
if i am not mistaken, it was the same email address. it was 3 or 4 weeks
ago i wrote, as it is, i don't save 'sent' emails anymore, unless very
important.
my main concern (besides the fact that a potential TSE has been in the USA
cattle for some time, but the APHIS do not test to find), is that the CWD could
very well be transmitting to humans, and i just did not see to much posted about
it on OIE site.
Coming back to your question, Chronic Wasting Disease is not an OIE
listed disease. Please see OIE disease lists at
why is this TSE (CWD) not listed and followed as with BSE ?'
Article 1.1.3.2. 1. Countries shall make available to other countries,
through the OIE, whatever information is necessary to minimise the spread of
important animal diseases and to assist in achieving better worldwide control of
these diseases.
The USA CWD is an important animal disease.
why is it not followed?
The decision to add or delete a disease from the OIE lists, come through
proposals made by Member Countries and it has to be adopted by the International
Committee.
i _urgently_ suggest a proposal to the OIE to follow this disease very
closely, and to propose _more_ testing in the USA for TSEs in the USA cattle...
kindest regards, terry

Molecular Barriers to Zoonotic Transmission of Prions
*** chronic wasting disease, there was no absolute barrier to conversion of
the human prion protein.
*** Furthermore, the form of human PrPres produced in this in vitro assay
when seeded with CWD, resembles that found in the most common human prion
disease, namely sCJD of the MM1 subtype.
*** The potential impact of prion diseases on human health was greatly
magnified by the recognition that interspecies transfer of BSE to humans by beef
ingestion resulted in vCJD. While changes in animal feed constituents and
slaughter practices appear to have curtailed vCJD, there is concern that CWD of
free-ranging deer and elk in the U.S. might also cross the species barrier.
Thus, consuming venison could be a source of human prion disease. Whether BSE
and CWD represent interspecies scrapie transfer or are newly arisen prion
diseases is unknown. Therefore, the possibility of transmission of prion disease
through other food animals cannot be ruled out. There is evidence that vCJD can
be transmitted through blood transfusion. There is likely a pool of unknown size
of asymptomatic individuals infected with vCJD, and there may be asymptomatic
individuals infected with the CWD equivalent. These circumstances represent a
potential threat to blood, blood products, and plasma supplies.
