Action
Chronic Wasting Disease Detection and Response Rules
Amendments to Surveillance Zone Delineations
Recommended Adoption of Proposed Changes
May 25, 2023

I. Executive Summary: Staff seeks permission to adopt proposed amendments to rules establishing disease management zones for the control of chronic wasting disease (CWD). The proposed amendments would:

Reduce the geographic extent of the Surveillance Zone for portions of Duval, Jim Wells, Live Oak, and McMullen counties to include all properties that are located partially or entirely within two miles of the premises where CWD has been detected in a permitted deer breeding facility;
Reduce the geographic extent of the Surveillance Zone for Gillespie County previously created by emergency rule to include all properties that are located partially or entirely within two miles of the premises where CWD has been detected in a permitted deer breeding facility;
Reduce the geographic extent of the Surveillance Zone for Limestone County previously created by emergency rule to include all properties that are located partially or entirely within two miles of the premises where CWD has been detected in a permitted deer breeding facility;
Reduce the geographic extent of the western portion of the Surveillance Zone for Uvalde County to include all properties that are located partially or entirely within two miles of the premises where CWD has been detected in a permitted deer breeding facility;
Establish Surveillance Zones for portions of Zavala, Washington, Gonzales, Hamilton, and Frio counties to include all properties that are located partially or entirely within two miles of the premises where CWD has been detected in a permitted deer breeding facility;
Allow for the location of mandatory check stations outside the boundaries of a Surveillance Zone if necessary;
Modify deer carcass restriction movement rules to provide for transportation of heads to check stations when check stations are outside the Surveillance Zone; and
Eliminate the sunset provision associated with the Duval County Surveillance Zone.

II. Discussion: Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) began establishing CWD Containment Zones, Surveillance Zones, and Buffer Zones in 2012 following the detection of CWD in the Hueco Mountains. The purpose of those CWD Zones was to determine the geographic extent and prevalence of the disease while containing it by limiting the unnatural movement of live CWD-susceptible species as well as the movement of carcass parts. While Buffer Zones have been dissolved, there has been little change to Containment and Surveillance Zones, which have been established in ten areas of the state. TPWD has developed new guidelines to establish consistency for CWD Zone establishment and delineation and is establishing surveillance requirements to justify dissolution of Surveillance Zones. Surveillance requirements will be based on an epidemiological model that has been developed for each CWD zone and is more applicable to the management of CWD in those specific areas of Texas. The proposed amendments will allow staff to focus surveillance efforts on the areas of greatest concern. They will increase the likelihood of adequate sample distribution and representation, thereby increasing the detection probability if the disease exists in the native, free-ranging deer population. This will help staff justify dissolution of Surveillance Zones established in response to the detection of CWD in deer breeding facilities in the event no positive test results are received after achieving the desired sampling goal. Consequently, staff seek permission to adopt proposed amendments to establishing disease management zones as it relates to current, eligible CWD surveillance zones.

At the Commission Work Session meeting on March 22, 2023, staff was authorized to publish the proposed rules in the Texas Register for public comment. The proposed rules appeared in the April 21, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 2048). A summary of public comment on the proposed rules will be presented at the time of the meeting.

III. Recommendation: The staff recommends that the Commission adopt the proposed motion:

“The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopts amendments to 31 Texas Administrative Code §§65.82, 65.85, and 65.88, concerning Disease Detection and Response, as listed in Exhibit A, with changes as necessary to the proposed text as published in the April 21, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 2048).”

DISEASE DETECTION AND RESPONSE RULES

PROPOSAL PREAMBLE

1. Introduction.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department proposes amendments to 31 TAC §§65.82, 65.85, and §65.88, concerning Disease Detection and Response.

The proposed amendments would function collectively to refine surveillance efforts as part of the agency’s effort to manage chronic wasting disease (CWD).

Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects some cervid species, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, red deer, sika, and their hybrids (referred to collectively as susceptible species). It is classified as a TSE (transmissible spongiform encephalopathy), a family of diseases that includes scrapie (found in sheep), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, found in cattle and commonly known as “Mad Cow Disease”), and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) in humans.

Much remains unknown about CWD, although robust efforts to increase knowledge are underway in many states and countries. The peculiarities of its transmission (how it is passed from animal to animal), infection rate (the frequency of occurrence through time or other comparative standard), incubation period (the time from exposure to clinical manifestation), and potential for transmission to other species are still being investigated. Currently, there is scientific evidence to suggest that CWD has zoonotic potential; however, no confirmed cases of CWD have been found in humans. Consequently, both the CDC and the World Health Organization strongly recommend testing animals taken in areas where CWD exists, and if positive, recommend not consuming the meat. What is known is that CWD is invariably fatal to certain species of cervids and is transmitted both directly (through animal-to-animal contact) and indirectly (through environmental contamination). If CWD is not contained and controlled, the implications of the disease for Texas and its multi-billion-dollar ranching, hunting, wildlife management, and real estate economies could be significant.

The department has engaged in several rulemakings over the years to address the threat posed by CWD, including rules to designate a system of zones in areas where CWD has been confirmed. The purpose of those CWD zones is to determine the geographic extent and prevalence of the disease while containing it by limiting the unnatural movement of live CWD-susceptible species as well as the movement of carcass parts.

The department’s response to the emergence of CWD in captive and free-ranging populations is guided by the department’s CWD Management Plan (Plan) https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/diseases/cwd/plan.phtml. Developed in 2012 in consultation with the Texas Animal Health Commission, other governmental entities and conservation organizations, and various advisory groups consisting of landowners, hunters, deer managers, veterinarians, and epidemiologists, the Plan sets forth the department’s CWD management strategies and informs regulatory responses to the detection of the disease in captive and free-ranging cervid populations in the state of Texas. The Plan is intended to be dynamic; in fact, it must be so in order to accommodate the growing understanding of the etiology, pathology, and epidemiology of the disease and the potential management pathways that emerge as it becomes better understood through time. The Plan proceeds from the premise that disease surveillance and active management of CWD once it is detected are absolutely critical to containing it on the landscape. Accordingly, the first step in the department’s response to CWD detections is the timely establishment of management zones around locations where detection occurs. One type of management zone is the surveillance zone (SZ), defined by rule as “a department-defined geographic area in this state within which the department has determined, using the best available science and data, that the presence of CWD could reasonably be expected.” Within a SZ, the movement of live deer is subject to restrictions and the presentation of harvested deer at a department check stations is required. In addition, deer carcass movement restrictions set forth in §65.88 of Subchapter B, Division 1 apply.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission recently directed staff to develop guidelines or a standard operating procedure (SOP) with respect to the establishment and duration of the various management zones, including SZs. At the January 2023 meeting of the commission, staff presented the SOP for establishing SZs in scenarios where CWD has been detected in a deer breeding facility but not at any release site associated with a breeding facility. In such cases, the department will not establish a SZ if the following can be verified: 1) the disease was detected early (i.e., it has not been in the facility long); 2) the transmission mechanism and pathway are known; 3) the facility was promptly depopulated following detection; and 4) there is no evidence that free-ranging deer populations have been compromised. If any of these criteria is not satisfied, an SZ will be established, to consist of all properties that are wholly or partially located within two miles of the property (or properties, if the breeding facility consists of several separately-deeded but contiguous properties) containing the positive deer breeding facility.

The proposed amendment to §65.82, concerning Surveillance Zones; Restrictions, would establish ten new surveillance zones (SZ 9-17) and modify two existing SZs (SZ 3 and SZ 8) in response to recent detections of CWD in deer breeding facilities and on associated release sites. As noted previously in this preamble, the department has been engaged in a long-term effort to stem the spread of CWD; however, by 2021 it was apparent that more robust measures were warranted because CWD was still being detected in additional deer breeding facilities. The commission adopted those rules, which require higher rates of testing, ante-mortem (live-animal) testing of breeder deer prior to release, and enhanced recordkeeping and reporting measures, in December of 2021 (46 TexReg 8724). This year is the first full year of the applicability of those measures.

On August 30, 2022, the department received confirmation that a yearling white-tailed buck deer in a deer breeding facility located in Gillespie County had tested positive for CWD; additional testing at that facility resulted in another positive test confirming CWD in a male yearling white-tailed deer on September 20, 2022 and a six-year-old female on December 15, 2022. On September 12-13 and October 12, 2022, the department received confirmation that five female white-tailed deer of approximately three years of age in a deer breeding facility located in Limestone County had tested positive for CWD. In response, the department promulgated emergency rules (47 TexReg 7615) to establish surveillance zones surrounding the affected facilities. The emergency rule expired on March 4, 2023. The proposed amendment would use the normal rulemaking process to replace the SZs established by the emergency rule in accordance with the SOP. The proposed amendment also would modify existing SZ 8 in Duval County. Surveillance Zone 8 was established in response to the detection of CWD in a deer breeding facility. The proposed modification would shrink the size of the current SZ to be consistent with the SOP. In addition, the proposed amendment would eliminate current paragraph (1)(H)(iii), which imposed a date for the termination of effectiveness of the affected subparagraph. In the course of deliberating the proposal, the commission determined that the efficacy of the new SOP for managing SZ delineations would be frustrated in the SZ in Duval County were the provision in question allowed to remain. The proposed amendment would shrink existing SZ 3 in Medina, Bandera, and Uvalde counties. The current SZ, along with a containment zone (CZ), was established in response to the detection of CWD in a number of deer breeding facilities, as well as in free-ranging deer on release sites associated with several facilities, in Medina County, and was enlarged in response to the confirmation of CWD in two more deer breeding facilities in adjacent Uvalde County (five positives (four males aged 1.5-3.4 years, one female aged 3.5 years) confirmed on March 29, 2021 at one deer breeding facility and one positive (male, 3.8 years of age) confirmed on June 15, 2021, at another deer breeding facility. The department has determined that the new SOP for SZs allows the current SZ 3 to be reduced in overall size, provided a separate SZ is created for each of the two properties in Uvalde County, which is consistent with the new SOP because deer from those facilities were not liberated to adjoining release sites and no additional positives have been detected in the current SZ surrounding those locations. Thus, the proposed amendment would essentially create two SZs in Uvalde County.

On March 10, 2023, the department received confirmation that CWD was present in a deer breeding facility in Zavala County (three buck deer approximately 2.5 years of age). On March 17, 2023, the department received confirmation that CWD was present in a deer breeding facility in Gonzales County (three female deer between the ages of 1.5 and 7.5 years of age). On March 21, 2023, the department received confirmation that CWD was present in a deer breeding facility in Hamilton County (one female deer, 3.5 years of age). On March 22, 2023, the department received confirmation that CWD was present in a deer breeding facility in Washington County (one female deer, 1.9 years of age). On April 6, 2023, the department received confirmation that CWD was present in a deer breeding facility in Frio County. The proposed amendment would establish a SZ around each of the positive facilities (SZs 9-18, respectively).

The proposed amendment to §65.85, concerning Mandatory Check Stations, would provide for the designation of mandatory check stations for SZs at locations other than within the SZ. The current rule stipulates that the department may establish mandatory check stations in SZs. Under the new SOP for delineation of SZs, however, it could be possible for a SZ to contain no suitable public locations where the department could set up a check station. Therefore, the proposed amendment would provide for the establishment of mandatory check stations for a given SZ that are not necessarily within the SZ. The department stresses that such check stations would be sited as close to the SZ as possible and the department would undertake substantial public awareness measures as well as communication with landowners in the SZ.

The proposed amendment to §65.88, concerning Deer Carcass Movement Restrictions, would allow the head of a susceptible species taken within an SZ within which the department has not designated a mandatory check station to be transported outside of the SZ, provided such transfer is conducted immediately upon leaving the SZ where the susceptible species was taken and by the most direct route to the nearest department-designated mandatory check station. Under current rule, the head of a susceptible species taken in a SZ cannot be taken from the SZ unless accompanied by a department-issued check station receipt. The department’s SOP for SZs, described earlier in this preamble, presents the possibility that the department might be unable to establish mandatory check stations within a given SZ; therefore, the proposed amendment would allow for transport in such circumstances. The proposed amendment also would prescribe acceptable methods for the disposal of heads following presentation at a check station (if the head is not being taken to a taxidermist), which would be either return to the property where the animal was harvested or disposal in a landfill permitted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Because cranial and spinal tissues have the possibility of being infectious, they must be disposed of properly. Disposal at the location of harvest prevents dispersal of potentially infectious tissues to unexposed locations and landfill disposal at an accredited facility is an acceptable barrier to disease transmission.

2. Fiscal Note.

Robert Macdonald, Regulations Coordinator, has determined that for each of the first five years that the rules as proposed are in effect, there will be no fiscal implications to state and local governments as a result of enforcing or administering the rules as proposed, as department personnel currently allocated to the administration and enforcement of disease management activities will administer and enforce the rules as part of their current job duties and resources.

3. Public Benefit/Cost Note.

Mr. Macdonald also has determined that for each of the first five years the amendment as proposed is in effect:

(A) The public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing or administering the rules as proposed will be a reduction of the probability of CWD being spread from locations where it might exist and an increase in the probability of detecting CWD if it does exist, thus ensuring the public of continued enjoyment of the resource and also ensuring the continued beneficial economic impacts of hunting in Texas.

(B) There could be adverse economic impact on persons required to comply with the rules as proposed. Such impacts would be identical to those described in the analysis of the rules’ potential effect on small businesses, microbusinesses, and rural communities elsewhere in this preamble.

(C) Under the provisions of Government Code, Chapter 2006, a state agency must prepare an economic impact statement and a regulatory flexibility analysis for a rule that may have an adverse economic effect on small businesses, micro-businesses, and rural communities. As required by Government Code, §2006.002(g), in April 2008, the Office of the Attorney General issued guidelines to assist state agencies in determining a proposed rule’s potential adverse economic impact on small businesses. These guidelines state that “[g]enerally, there is no need to examine the indirect effects of a proposed rule on entities outside of an agency’s regulatory jurisdiction.” The guidelines state that an agency need only consider a proposed rule’s “direct adverse economic impacts” to small businesses and micro-businesses to determine if any further analysis is required. The guidelines also list examples of the types of costs that may result in a “direct economic impact.” Such costs may include costs associated with additional recordkeeping or reporting requirements; new taxes or fees; lost sales or profits; changes in market competition; or the need to purchase or modify equipment or services.

For the purposes of this analysis, the department considers all deer breeders to be small or microbusinesses, which ensures that the analysis captures all deer breeders possibly affected by the proposed rulemaking. The department has determined that there are a total of eight deer breeding facilities (other than breeding facilities where CWD has been detected, which are prohibited from transferring deer under other rules) within the proposed SZ 8 (Duval County), three deer breeding facilities within proposed SZ 9 (Gillespie County), two within proposed SZ 10 (Limestone County), four within proposed SZ 13 (Zavalla County), one withing proposed SZ 17 (Frio County), and none within SZ 11 or SZ 12 (Uvalde County), SZ 14 (Gonzales County), SZ 15 (Hamilton County), or SZ 16 (Washington County). Under current rule, a deer breeding facility that is within a SZ and MQ (Movement Qualified, which is the authorization to transfer deer) may transfer to or receive breeder deer from any other MQ deer breeding facility in this state and deer from a deer breeding facility located outside a SZ may be released within a SZ if authorized by Division 2 of this subchapter. With one exception, all the deer breeding facilities affected by the proposed amendment are designated MQ; therefore, the department has determined that there will be no adverse economic impact for those permittees because they will be able to operate normally, provided they are compliant with existing rules in order to remain MQ. The exception is a single facility that is currently designated NMQ and therefore prohibited from transferring deer under current rule and not as a result of the proposed rule.

The department has determined that the proposed rule will not affect rural communities because the rule does not directly regulate any rural community.

(D) The department has not drafted a local employment impact statement under the Administrative Procedures Act, §2001.022, as the agency has determined that the rule as proposed will not result in direct impacts to local economies.

(E) The department has determined that Government Code, §2001.0225 (Regulatory Analysis of Major Environmental Rules), does not apply to the proposed rule.

(F) The department has determined that there will not be a taking of private real property, as defined by Government Code, Chapter 2007, as a result of the proposed new rule. Any impacts resulting from the discovery of CWD in or near private real property would be the result of the discovery of CWD and not the proposed rule.

(G) In compliance with the requirements of Government Code, §2001.0221, the department has prepared the following Government Growth Impact Statement (GGIS). The rule as proposed, if adopted, will:

(1) neither create nor eliminate a government program;

(2) not result in an increase or decrease in the number of full-time equivalent employee needs;

(3) not result in a need for additional General Revenue funding;

(4) not affect the amount of any fee;

(5) not create a new regulation;

(6) expand an existing regulation (by creating new areas subject to the rules governing SZs), but will otherwise not limit or repeal an existing regulation;

(7) neither increase nor decrease the number of individuals subject to regulation; and

(8) not positively or adversely affect the state’s economy.

4. Request for Public Comment.

Comments on the proposed rules may be submitted to Hunter Reed, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas, 78744; (830) 890-1230 (e-mail: hunter.reed@tpwd.texas.gov); or via the department’s website at www.tpwd.texas.gov.

5. Statutory Authority.

The amendment is proposed under the authority of Parks and Wildlife Code, Chapter 43, Subchapter C, which requires the commission to adopt rules to govern the collecting, holding, possession, propagation, release, display, or transport of protected wildlife for scientific research, educational display, zoological collection, or rehabilitation; Subchapter E, which requires the commission to adopt rules for the trapping, transporting, and transplanting of game animals and game birds, urban white-tailed deer removal, and trapping and transporting surplus white-tailed deer; Subchapter L, which authorizes the commission to make regulations governing the possession, transfer, purchase, sale, of breeder deer held under the authority of the subchapter; Subchapters R and R-1, which authorize the commission to establish the conditions of a deer management permit for white-tailed and mule deer, respectively; and §61.021, which provides that no person may possess a game animal at any time or in any place except as permitted under a proclamation of the commission.

The proposed amendment affects Parks and Wildlife Code, Chapter 43, Subchapters C, E, L, R, R-1, and Chapter 61.
