[48 Pa.B. 1662]
[Saturday, March 17, 2018]

 The State Horse Racing Commission (Commission) provides notice that on February 27, 2018, at its regularly scheduled public meeting, it issued an Order adopting Schedule of Controlled Therapeutic Medications (Therapeutic List) as established by the Nationally recognized Racing Medication and Testing Consortium (RMTC) and the Association of Racing Commissioners International. In July 2016, the Commission previously adopted the RMTC Therapeutic List for the thoroughbred industry which was published at 46 Pa.B. 6204 (October 1, 2016). This Order was adopted under the authority of 3 Pa.C.S. §§ 9311(h) and 9312(6)(i) (relating to State Horse Racing Commission; and additional powers of commission), under Administrative Docket No. 2018-4.

 The general purpose of the Order is: (1) to provide up-to-date scientific information to this Commomwealth's racing industry related to the use of therapeutic medications and the respective threshold levels of those medications; (2) to bring uniformity to this Commonwealth's standardbred and thoroughbred industries and its horsemen as it relates to the permitted use of therapeutic medications under the threshold levels in the Therapeutic List; and (3) to create uniformity and consistency within the regulatory bodies of the Mid-Atlantic racing states regarding the use and detection of allowable therapeutic medications.

 In summary, the Order adopts the list of 30 approved therapeutic medications and their respective threshold levels for the standardbred horse industry in this Commonwealth. The approved list of therapeutic medications and threshold levels will take effective upon publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 The Order and specific provisions have been posted and published on the Commission's web site at http://www.agriculture.pa.gov/Animals/RacingCommission/Pages/default.aspx. The Commission will also provide copies of the Order upon request directed to (717) 787-5539.
