The goal of the NAIS is to be able to identify all animals Components, and premises that have had contact with
a foreign or domestic and Guiding animal disease of concern within 48 hours after discovery. Summary Page DSP

Page DSP
Under the proposed plan, all locations that hold, manage, or board animals will be required to have a unique Premises
Identification Number by January 2008. Page 3 DSP
The first priority is to identify locations that hold and manage livestock with the nationally unique, 7-character Premises
Identification Number. States and Tribes administer premises registration. Page 8 DSP
Producers that have registered their premises may obtain official identification devices with the Animal Identification
Number (AIN). page 8 DSP
the initial record of which premises receives tags also provides NAIS with information to determine the origin of the
animal. or where the animal was first
tagged. Page 8 DSP
Producers with species identified as groups or lots may use their premises number to establish the official Group/Lot
Identification of their animals. Page 8 DSP
USDA anticipates that adequate advances in the NAIS will continue to occur, and it will enact regulations by early 2008,
requiring stakeholders to identify their premises and animals. At that time, all animals leaving their current premises must
be identified with the AIN or Group/Lot ID. Page 8 DSP
Summer 2005: Taking into consideration all of the public input received through the listening sessions and comments on
the ANPR and draft standards document, USDA will begin drafting a proposed rule that will establish new regulations for requiring
premises to be NAIS Strategic Plan – DRAFT Critical Issues registered and for animals to be identified and tracked according
to NAIS standards. Page 8 & 9 DSP
July 2006: USDA will publish a proposed rule establishing new requirements for premises registration and animal identification
that follow NAIS standards. (The rule may define rolling effective dates, allow for delays in implementation as producers
transition from scrapie ID to NAIS AINs, etc.) Premises registration and animal identification according to NAIS standards
will be required by
January 2008. Page 10 DSP
Fall 2007: USDA will publish the final rule establishing mandatory animal identification and premises registration requirements.

January 2008: Final rule requiring premises registration and animal identification as defined under NAIS program standards
will become effective. Page 10 DSP
Premises identification: To track animals, we must know where they are born and where they could be moved. Therefore,
identifying locations that manage or hold animals, referred to as premises, is the starting point
of the NAIS. Each premises will be identified with a unique seven-character identifier, or a premises identification number.

In keeping with the gradual approach, the transition from voluntary to mandatory will occur in phases.
An extensive communication “alert” for mandatory premises registration and animal identification is targeted for
April 2007. Page 14 DSP
The 9-month campaign provides a period during which everyone can acclimate
to the new requirements for premises registration
and animal identification beginning in January 2008. Page 14 DSP
The Federal government is providing the standards, national databases, and basic infrastructure. States and Tribes will
register premises within their areas. Page 14 DSP
