General Quarantine Order; Certified Poultry Technicians
[49 Pa.B. 3088]
[Saturday, June 15, 2019]Recitals.
A. Avian influenza, Chlamydiosis (psittacosis), Chronic respiratory disease of poultry caused by Mycoplasma synoviae or Mycoplasma gallisepticum, Duck viral enteritis, Newcastle Disease, Salmonella pullorum, and Salmonella gallinarum are designated ''dangerous transmissible diseases'' of animals under the provisions of the Domestic Animal Law (3 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 2301—2389), at 3 Pa.C.S.A. § 2321(d).
B. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (Department), under the edicts established by section 2327 of the Domestic Animal Law (3 Pa.C.S.A. § 2327) (related to disease surveillance and detection) has the authority and duty to carry out disease surveillance and detection and more specifically to regularly monitor the domestic animal population of this Commonwealth to determine the prevalence and incidence of transmissible diseases or contamination by hazardous substances.
C. The Department, under the provisions set forth at section 2329 of the Domestic Animal Law (3 Pa.C.S.A. § 2329) (related to quarantine) has the authority to establish three different types of quarantine orders—Interstate and International, General and Special. The Department may establish a Quarantine Order, ''Whenever a dangerous transmissible disease. . . exists anywhere within or outside of this Commonwealth, or whenever it is deemed advisable to test or treat any domestic animal upon the reasonable suspicion that it has contracted or been exposed to a dangerous transmissible disease. . . or whenever the testing or treatment of a domestic animal indicates that the domestic animal has been exposed to a dangerous transmissible disease. . . so as to render future accurate testing for recent exposure of that domestic animal to that dangerous transmissible disease. . . impractical or impossible, the department shall have the power to establish and enforce quarantines of any such infected, exposed, contaminated, suspected or susceptible domestic animal.'' (3 Pa.C.S.A. § 2329(a))
D. The Department may establish and enforce a general quarantine order within the Commonwealth for any reason set forth paragraph C above, ''. . . to prevent a dangerous transmissible disease. . . from being carried into, within, from or out of the area or locality that is subject to the quarantine. . . ''
E. Section 2321(related to dangerous transmissible diseases) of the Domestic Animal Law sets forth, at subsection (a), dangerous transmissible diseases (3 Pa.C.S.A. § 2321(a)). Section 2321(d) (related to designation of additional dangerous transmissible diseases through temporary order) allows the Department to designate additional transmissible diseases determined to, ''. . . present a danger to public health, to domestic animal health, to the safety or quality of the food supply or to the economic well-being of the domestic animal industries. . . '' as dangerous transmissible diseases through the issuance of a temporary order (3 Pa.C.S.A. § 2321(d)).
F. The dangerous transmissible diseases listed at section 2321(a) of the Domestic Animal Law and those designated by the Department through a temporary order are known to exist within or outside of this Commonwealth and have been determined to pose a danger to public health, domestic animal health, the safety or quality of the food supply or to the economic well-being of the domestic animal industries.
G. The Act of April 6, 1956, P.L. (1955) 1429, at section 1, (Pullorum Act) provides that ''The Secretary of Agriculture, when he determines that there is a need for trained technicians to aid in drawing blood from poultry to be used in pullorum testing programs, may license as many trained technicians as he deems necessary to aid the programs.''
H. The Department developed and has administered such licensing and training programs.
I. As dangerous transmissible diseases other than pullorum have been identified, and additional regulatory poultry health programs have been implemented by the Department, other states and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), it has become necessary for the Department to train poultry technicians with regard to sampling and testing techniques necessary to detect and surveil for those additional diseases.
J. Avian influenza and other dangerous transmissible diseases of poultry are of concern to the entire Pennsylvania poultry industry and may severely limit the market for Pennsylvania poultry products or cause production losses or death in poultry flocks within and outside of the Commonwealth if not detected and controlled.
K. Avian influenza, in particular, has caused significant loss in the past to the Pennsylvania poultry industry and to the poultry industry in other states and as a whole.
L. Regulatory poultry health programs exist through the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and through the USDA National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) to provide disease surveillance, promote healthy poultry and a healthy food supply, and to support interstate and international commerce.
M. Regulatory surveillance for movement of poultry not participating in official poultry health programs may be required for intrastate, interstate, and international commerce, and for entry into exhibitions or markets.
N. The following Order establishes testing and training requirements necessary for Certification and Licensing of Poultry Technicians.
O. Only persons certified and licensed in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Order may draw blood, collect swab and egg samples, and conduct approved on-site testing of poultry for dangerous transmissible diseases of poultry for regulatory testing purposes.
Order.
PDA enters a General Quarantine Order, incorporating the foregoing recitals. This Order is entered under authority of the Domestic Animal Law (at 3 Pa.C.S.A. § 2329) and § 1702 of the Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P.S. § 442), and establishes the following quarantine restrictions and standards with respect to training and testing of persons to become licensed as Certified Poultry Technicians and provides standards for the collection of samples for testing and rapid testing for regulatory purposes other than the detection of pullorum disease in poultry.
1. General. For purposes of this Order, the term ''poultry'' includes all domesticated fowl, including chickens, turkeys, ostriches, emus, rheas, cassowaries, waterfowl, and game birds, except doves and pigeons, which are bred for the primary purpose of producing eggs or meat, or as otherwise defined under subpart A of the current version of the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP) and Auxiliary Provisions.
2. Purpose. This Order allows for qualified persons to become licensed as Certified Poultry Technicians to carry out certain sampling and testing procedures, in addition to testing and sampling for pullorum disease under the Pullorum Act, and thereby further fulfill the Department's duty to surveil for dangerous transmissible diseases in accordance with the Domestic Animal Law. This Order allows for a more proactive and preventative approach to current and future dangerous transmissible diseases and hazardous substances through surveillance, monitoring, and testing by the poultry industry. Such an approach furthers the legislative mandate of section 2327 of the Domestic Animal Law1 (related to disease surveillance and detection) and provides greater protection to the poultry population and industry in this Commonwealth. This Order delineates education and testing criteria that will allow for and require the certification and licensure of private sector individuals to carry out domestic poultry sampling and rapid testing and thereby enhance monitoring, detection, and containment of dangerous transmissible diseases of poultry and contamination by hazardous substances.
3. Scope of certification and licensure. This Order allows persons licensed as Certified Poultry Technicians in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to perform the duties of a Certified Poultry Technician only within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, unless under a reciprocal agreement addressing license reciprocity between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and another state or Commonwealth. Final certification shall be obtained and the certificate issued prior to any person undertaking any testing, sampling or other activity requiring certification and licensure under this Order.
4. Qualifications for certification and licensure.
(a) Nothing in this Order may or shall supplant the provisions of the Veterinary Medical Practice Act2 or its attendant regulations regarding the practice of veterinarian medicine.
