USDA has decided to allow livestock producers to de-list their operations, February 15, 2007
USDA has decided to allow livestock producers who have already registered
their premises as part of the still-developing national animal identification
system to de-list their operations. USDA stated since the national animal ID is
strictly voluntary; producers should be allowed to decide to stop participating
at their discretion.
At this time, USDA does not have the ability to delete premise information
from the national database. They are currently working toward being able to do
so.
If you have producers who would like their premises to be “de-listed” from
the national database, they can contact Livestock and Poultry and make such
request. Because USDA does not have the capabilities to “de-list” premise
information at this time, Livestock and Poultry will change the classification
of the premise from active to inactive. Once a system is developed to “de-list”
premises, the inactive premises will be de-listed.
