As part of the ongoing NAIS development process, we have completed a Draft User Guide for NAIS and are requesting comments on the document. The Draft User Guide is the most current plan for the NAIS and replaces all previously published program documents, including the 2005 Draft Strategic Plan and Draft Program Standards and the 2006 Implementation Strategies.
The NAIS Draft User Guide provides valuable information on how producers can participate in the voluntary NAIS if they so choose, how participation would benefit them, and how the system is being implemented. Comments on the guide are welcome.
You can submit comments by e-mail to animalidcomments@aphis.usda.gov please include "NAIS Draft User Guide" in the subject line, or by mail to:
NAIS Program Staff
Attn: NAIS Draft User Guide
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA

NAIS will continue to evolve as details are addressed through ongoing dialogue with all stakeholders.
