-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is extending the
public comment period by 20 days on its Request for Information (RFI)
to solicit the public's input on regulatory considerations related to 9
CFR parts 101-118, 123-124.
DATES: The comment period for the document originally published on
September 11, 2026,
(91 FR 57828) is extended 20 days. Comments must be submitted on or
before November 2, 2026.
ADDRESSES: USDA invites public comments on this RFI and encourages
stakeholders, including farmers, industry representatives, and state
and local governments, to provide input. You may submit comments,
identified by docket number USDA-2026-0298, in the Federal eRulemaking
Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">http://www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow the online instructions for
submitting comments. All comments will be posted without change and

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Poe, Office of the General
Counsel, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20250-1400,
(202) 769-8247.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An RFI published in the Federal Register on
September 11, 2026 (91 FR 57828), seeks public feedback to gather
information that would assist USDA in modernizing regulations in 9 CFR
parts 101-118, 123-124.
The RFI established a 30-day comment period, ending October 13,
2026. During the initial comment period, USDA received public input
asking for an extension. Additional time would allow for careful and
thoughtful consideration on a multitude of subjects as USDA's Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Center for Veterinary
Biologics seeks to modernize its veterinary biologics regulations under
the Virus-Serum-Toxin Act.
Accordingly, USDA is extending the comment period for the RFI by an
additional 20 days. Comments must be submitted on or before November 2,
2026.
Andrew Perry,
Associate Director, Office of the General Counsel.
