Abstract: The effective implementation of NPIP necessitates the use of information collection activities from meat-type chicken slaughter plants, turkey slaughter plants, and table-egg producers who choose to participate in this voluntary plan. This will require the completion of necessary forms when submitting samples from flock monitoring to authorized laboratories. In additions, they would be required to maintain records.

The regulation is needed immediately to address the increasing threat of mutation to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) posed by outbreaks of H5/H7 LPAI; to ensure containued surveillance of LPAI H5/H& in the US; and safeguard the health of the US poultry population, as well as the quality of US poultry products. Meat-type chicken slaughter plants, turkey slaughter plants, and table-egg producers who chose to participate in this voluntary plan would be required to complete the necessary forms when submitting smaples from flock monitoring to author8ized labotatories.
