42 CFR Part 71
[Docket No. CDC-CDC-2023-0051]
RIN 0920-AA82
Control of Communicable Diseases; Foreign Quarantine: Importation
of Dogs and Cats; Correction
AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces a technical
correction to the final rule published on May 13, 2024, regarding the
importation of dogs and cats into the United States. The final rule
contained a technical error. HHS/CDC is therefore publishing this
amendment to the final rule correcting an error in amending
instructions to the Office of the Federal Register.
DATES: Effective on August 1, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ashley C. Altenburger, J.D., Division
of Global Migration Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
1600 Clifton Road NE, MS-H16-4, Atlanta, Georgia 30329. Telephone: 1-
800-232-4636.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 13, 2024, HHS/CDC published a final
rule (89 FR 41726) that included a technical error. Therefore, HHS/CDC
is publishing this notice to correct the technical error that was made
in the final rule.
Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause finds
that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. We have
determined that it is unnecessary to provide prior notice and the
opportunity for public comment because the technical correction being
made, as discussed below, address only a minor publication error that
does not substantially change agency actions taken in the final rule.
For the same reasons we find good cause to make the correction
effective on publication.
Summary of the Technical Correction to 42 CFR Part 71--Foreign
Quarantine; Importation of Dogs and Cats
The final rule contains instructions to the Office of the Federal
Register explaining how Sec. 71.51, Dogs and cats, should appear once
published in the Code of Federal Regulations. In amending instruction
3.j. to Sec. 71.51, appearing at 89 FR 41837, HHS/CDC included
instructions ``adding paragraphs (h) through (ff).'' However, the final
rule contained updated provisions through paragraph (gg) and should
have indicated that HHS/CDC is ``adding paragraphs (h) through (gg).''
We are therefore making this technical correction to ensure that
paragraph (gg) is published in the Code of Federal Regulations as HHS/
CDC intended and as discussed in the final rule.
Correction
For the reasons noted above, in FR Doc. 2024-09676, beginning on
page 41726 in the Federal Register of Monday, May 13, 2024, the
following correction is made:
Sec. 71.51 [Corrected]
0
1. On page 41837, in the third column, in amendment 3.j. for Sec.
71.51, the instruction ``Adding paragraphs (h) through (ff)'' is
corrected to read ``Adding paragraphs (h) through (gg)''.

Executive Secretary, Department of Health and Human Services.
