COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
NOTICE OF AMENDED GENERAL QUARANTINE ORDER OF MARCH 25, 1993
On January 20, 1993, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Agriculture, adopted a General Quarantine
Order due to the presence of HSN2 Avian Influenza pursuant to the authority granted by Section 1702 of the "Administrative
Code", Act of June 7,1923 (P.L. 498, No. 274) (71 P.S. § 442), Section 6of the Act of July 22,1913 (P.L. 928, No. 441), (71
P.S. S 1221) and the Act of April 17,1929 (P.L. 533, No. 236) as amended by the Act of May 10,1974 (P.L. 287, No. 87), 3
P.S. S S 341 et seq.. On February 12,1993, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, of Agriculture, adopted an
Order which amended the General Quarantine Order. Further amendment to the General Quarantine Order was
adopted March 25,1993, to require negative Influenza tests to qualify poultry for movement In Pennsylvania. Avian
Influenza is a disease of domestic poultry caused by exposure to Type A Influenza Vims.
Certain additional amendments to the General Quarantine Order are now necessary to ease restrictions of poultry
due to evidence of an abatement of the disease. Surveillance of poultry movements and investigation of influenza
exposed markets during the past six weeks Indicate the risk of HSN2 influenza to poultry has been greatly reduced.
Whereas pre-movement test requirements have impeded the marketing of poultry from small flocks. It is Important to
ease marketing restrictions in line with reduction of Influenza risk. These amendments remove pre-movement lest
requirements for the transportation at poultry and provide additional criteria for release of non-lnfected flocks from
quarantine. The Interstate HSN2 Avian Influenza Quarantine Order of February 12,1993 restricting the importation
o t live poultry has been rescinded effective June 1,1993. These amendments will reduce the cost of Influenza preven
tion but will maintain effective measures to detect and contain HSN2 avian Influenza In domestic poultry.
Further Infonnation: Further information is available by contacting Dr. Max A. Van Buskirk, Jr., Director, Bureau of Ani
mal Industry, Department of Agriculture, 2301 North Cameron Street, Harrisburg, PA 17110, telephone: (717) 783-6677.
Rffective Date; The Amended General Quarantine Order contained in Annex A was adopted on June 1, 1993 and was
effective immediately upon adoption. Notice of adoption of the amended quarantine is being provided by publication in full
in Lancaster Farming and Harrisburg Patriot News. In addition, the Department is issuing public announcements and press
releases regarding the imposition of the quarantine and directly notified numerous affected parties.
