Notice for California Bird Owners
Due to the presence of exotic Newcastle disease (END) in
California, no birds, bird products, and END-exposed materials or means of
conveyance will be moved from a Federal quarantine area without a permit.
To get a permit there must be a risk assessment that assures that any
movement will not present a risk of moving the END agent from the
quarantine zone and exposing susceptible species. Risk assessments will be
completed within 72 hours of the request. The Federal quarantine zone in
California includes Imperial, Las Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Santa
Barbara, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties. For more
information call the California END hotline at
1-800-491-1899.
NOTE: If other areas become affected with END,
APHIS will apply the same strategy as is applied within the state of
California. Questions about commercial permits can also be directed to the
Federal government at 1-800-601-9327.
