CHAPTER 40. CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE

4 TAC §40.6

(Editor's note: In accordance with Texas Government Code, §2002.014, which permits the omission of material which is "cumbersome, expensive, or otherwise inexpedient," the figures in 4 TAC §40.6 are not included in the print version of the Texas Register. The figures are available in the on-line version of the June 2, 2023, issue of the Texas Register.)

The Texas Animal Health Commission (Commission) proposes amendments to Title 4, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 40 titled "Chronic Wasting Disease." Specifically, amendments are proposed to §40.6 CWD Movement Restriction Zones.

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

The purpose of this chapter is to prevent and control the incidence of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Texas by seeking to reduce the risk of interstate and intrastate transmission of CWD in susceptible cervid species. The Commission proposes amendments to §40.6 to clarify, correct, and update information regarding CWD management.

CWD is a degenerative and fatal neurological communicable disease recognized by the veterinary profession that affects susceptible cervid species. CWD can spread through natural movements of infected animals and transportation of live infected animals or carcass parts. Specifically, prions are shed from infected animals in saliva, urine, blood, soft-antler material, feces, or from animal decomposition, which ultimately contaminates the environment in which CWD susceptible species live. CWD has a long incubation period, so animals infected with CWD may not exhibit clinical signs of the disease for months or years after infection. The disease can be passed through contaminated environmental conditions, and may persist for a long period of time. Currently, no vaccine or treatment for CWD exists.

The purpose of the changes to §40.6 is to change the testing requirements for exotic CWD susceptible species to align with federal standards and match state standards for testing native CWD susceptible species in order to increase surveillance of CWD in the state. Additionally, grammatical and editorial changes are proposed for each section for consistency and improved readability.

SECTION-BY-SECTION DISCUSSION

Section 40.6 CWD Movement Restriction Zones

The proposed amendments to §40.6(a) clarify the definition of Exotic CWD Susceptible Species, specifically adding muntjac (Muntiacus) and specifying that mule deer, white-tailed deer, and other native species under the jurisdiction of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are excluded from that definition and application of §40.6. Amendments to §40.6(c) and (d) change the mortality testing age from 16 months to 12 months and clarify that testing must occur within seven days. The amendments to these subsections also provide information on where test results and lab reports may be submitted. These amendments are intended to increase surveillance in designated containment and surveillance zones and align the requirements with federal standards for CWD testing.

This amendment also updates the geographic depiction in the attached graphic included in §40.6(b)(1)(C) to align with amendments to the rule which went into effect May 17, 2023. Additionally, geographic depictions have been added as attached graphics for each of each movement restriction zones. The attached graphics are designed to assist the readability of these rules and to aid the public in understanding the individual zones.

FISCAL NOTE

Ms. Myra Sines, Chief of Staff for the Texas Animal Health Commission, determined for each year of the first five years the rules are in effect, there are no estimated additional costs or reductions in costs to state or local governments as a result of enforcing or administering the proposed rules. Commission employees will administer and enforce these rules as part of their regular job duties and resources. Ms. Sines also determined for the same period that there is no estimated increase or loss in revenue to the state or local government as a result of enforcing or administering the proposed rules, and the proposed rules do not have foreseeable implications relating to costs or revenues of state governments.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

Ms. Sines determined that for each year of the first five years the proposed rules are in effect, the anticipated public benefits will be the protection of CWD susceptible species by increasing the surveillance of CWD susceptible species which will reduce the inadvertent spread of the disease from CWD susceptible species.

LOCAL EMPLOYMENT IMPACT STATEMENT

The Commission determined that the proposed rules will not impact local economies and, therefore, did not file a request for a local employment impact statement with the Texas Workforce Commission.

MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL RULE

The Commission determined that Texas Government Code §2001.0225 does not apply to the proposed rules because the specific intent of these rules is not primarily to protect the environment or reduce risks to human health from environmental exposure, and therefore, is not a major environmental rule.

TAKINGS ASSESSMENT

The Commission determined that the proposal does not restrict, limit, or impose a burden on an owner's rights to his or her private real property that would otherwise exist in the absence of government action. Therefore, the proposed rules are compliant with the Private Real Property Preservation Act in Texas Government Code §2007.043 and do not constitute a taking.

ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT

The Commission determined that the proposed amendments to §40.6 may impact animal agricultural industries, which may meet the definition of a small business or microbusiness pursuant to Texas Government Code, Chapter 2006. Specifically, the Commission determined that the proposed rules may affect herd owners of CWD susceptible species or exotic CWD susceptible species.

The Commission determined that the proposed amendments would not adversely affect herd owners of CWD susceptible species because the amendments do not substantially change the movement, testing, and reporting requirements. The removal of the limit to test only three animal mortalities a year and the lowering of mortality test age for CWD may increase the cost to some herd owners, but the tradeoff in disease surveillance outweighs the potential cost to the herd owner. As such, these amendments to the movement, testing, and reporting requirements will allow the Commission to better monitor CWD in Texas. As a result, the application of the rule will help prevent adverse economic impacts associated with CWD.

Although the Commission does not predict adverse economic impacts to those directly regulated by the Commission, the Commission considered the businesses that may be impacted and regulatory alternatives as part of its rule proposal process. Texas has an unknown number of exotic cervid species that are free-ranging and also maintained on high-fenced premises. Many of those premises are hunting ranches, which are not subject to the seasonal and regulatory hunting restrictions of TPWD. The clarity provided by these amendments should reduce or eliminate any confusion those directly regulated by the Commission may have in reading and interpreting the rules.

REGULATORY FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS

The Commission considered several alternative methods for achieving the proposed rules' purpose while minimizing adverse economic impacts on small businesses, microbusinesses, and rural communities, as applicable, pursuant to Texas Government Code, Chapter 2006. The following sections analyze the substantive proposed changes that may have direct, adverse economic impacts on regulated parties in the order they are presented in Chapter 40.

The Commission considered an alternative method for achieving the proposed rules' purpose - by not changing the mortality testing requirements - but rejected the alternative because it would frustrate the Commission's ability to carry out Texas Agriculture Code §161.041 and eradicate or control any disease or agent of transmission, even if the agent of transmission is an animal species that is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. This change also aligns the Commission's regulations with other federal and state regulations over CWD susceptible species. The Commission determined these proposals are necessary to follow the legislative requirement that the Commission protect exotic livestock from certain diseases, specifically CWD.

GOVERNMENT GROWTH IMPACT STATEMENT

In compliance with the requirements of Texas Government Code §2001.0221, for each year of the first five years the proposed rules would be in effect, the Commission determined the following:

The proposed rules will not create or eliminate a government program;

Implementation of the proposed rules will not require the creation of new employee positions or the elimination of existing employee positions;

Implementation of the proposed rules will not require an increase or decrease in future legislative appropriations to the Commission;

The proposed rules will not require an increase or decrease in fees paid to the Commission;

The proposed rules will not create a new regulation;

The proposed rules will expand existing rules, but will not otherwise limit or repeal an existing regulation;

The proposed rules may increase the number of individuals subject to the regulation; and

The proposed rules will not adversely affect this state's economy.

COST TO REGULATED PERSONS

The proposed amendments to §40.6 may impose a cost on a regulated person by increasing the number of animals that may be required to be tested. The Commission determined these proposals are necessary to follow the legislative requirement that the Commission protect exotic livestock from certain diseases, specifically chronic wasting disease. The proposed rules do not otherwise impose a direct cost on a regulated person, state agency, a special district, or a local government within the state. Pursuant to Section 161.041 of the Texas Agriculture Code, Section 2001.0045 of the Texas Government Code does not apply to rules adopted under Section 161.041; therefore, it is unnecessary to amend or repeal any other existing rule.

§40.6.CWD Movement Restriction Zones.

(a) Definitions. In addition to the definitions in Section 40.1, the following words and terms, when used in this section, shall have the following meanings:

(1) - (3) (No change.)

(4) Exotic CWD Susceptible Species--A non-native cervid species determined to be susceptible to CWD, which means a species that has had a diagnosis of CWD confirmed by an official test conducted by an approved laboratory. This includes but is not limited to[, which includes] North American elk or wapiti (Cervus canadensis), red deer (Cervus elaphus), sika [Sika] deer (Cervus nippon), moose (Alces alces) reindeer and caribou (Rangifer tarandus), muntjac (Muntiacus), and any associated subspecies and hybrids. All mule deer, white-tailed deer, and other native species under the jurisdiction of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department are excluded from this definition and application of this section.

(5) - (6) (No change.)

[(7) Native CWD Susceptible Species--All mule deer, white-tailed deer, and other native species under the jurisdiction of the TPWD are excluded from this definition and application of this section.]

(7) [(8)] Processing facility--A stationary facility designed and constructed to store or process CWD susceptible species.

(8) [(9)] TPWD--The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

[(10) Unnatural Movement--Any artificially induced movement of a live CWD susceptible species or the carcass of a CWD susceptible species.]

(b) Declaration of area restricted for CWD. CWD has been detected in susceptible species in different locations in Texas. This creates a high risk for CWD exposure or infection in CWD susceptible species in those geographic areas. In order to protect other areas of the state from the risk of exposure and spread of CWD, restricted areas, such as containment zones and surveillance zones, are created to protect against the spread of and exposure to CWD and have necessary surveillance to epidemiologically assess the risk. The high-risk areas are delineated as follows:

(1) Containment Zone Boundaries:

(A) Containment Zone 1. That portion of the state within the boundaries of a line beginning in Culberson County where U.S. Highway (U.S.) 62-180 enters from the State of New Mexico; thence southwest along U.S. 62-180 to Farm-to-Market Road (F.M.) 1111 in Hudspeth County; thence south on F.M. 1111 to I.H. 10 thence west along I.H. 10 to S.H. 20; thence northwest along S.H. 20 to F.M. 1088; thence south along F.M. 1088 to the Rio Grande River; thence northwest along the Rio Grande River to the Texas-New Mexico border.

Figure: 4 TAC §40.6(b)(1)(A) (.pdf)

(B) Containment Zone 2. That portion of the state within the boundaries of a line beginning where I.H. 40 enters from the State of New Mexico in Deaf Smith County; thence east along I.H. 40 to U.S. 385 in Oldham County; thence north along U.S. 385 to the Oklahoma state line.

Figure: 4 TAC §40.6(b)(1)(B) (.pdf)
