A public
hearing will be conducted by the Kansas Department of Agriculture at 10:00 a.m.
on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, to consider the adoption of an administrative
regulation that pertains to the cost of official calfhood vaccination tags. Due
to public health concerns posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the hearing
proceedings will be conducted virtually via a video conferencing system to
provide the opportunity for virtual participation online.
Calfhood
vaccination tags provide a voluntary method for cattle producers to indicate
that a heifer has been vaccinated for brucellosis by an accredited
veterinarian. KDA is proposing adoption of K.A.R. 9-2-36, which will allow the
Animal Health Commissioner to recoup costs for vaccination tags including
processing, shipping and handling expenses.
A copy of the proposed
regulation, as well as an expanded notice of public hearing, may be accessed on
the KDA website at agriculture.ks.gov/PublicComment. Anyone
desiring to participate via video conference must pre-register to be provided
with a video link. Written comments can be submitted on the public comment web
page prior to the hearing or sent to the Kansas Department of Agriculture, 1320
Research Park Drive, Manhattan, KS, 66502.
Any individual with
a disability may request accommodation in order to participate in the public
hearing and may request a copy of the regulations in an accessible format.
Persons who require special accommodations must make their needs known at least
two working days prior to the hearing. For more information, including special
accommodations or a copy of the regulations, please contact Ronda Hutton at
