Who Will Have Access to Information in the National Animal Identification Databases?
As part of the NAIS, Federal, State, and Tribal animal health and public health officials will have access to the information repositories when they need data to administer animal health programs at the state and national level. For example, they may access the database if a USDA program disease—such as tuberculosis or brucellosis—or a suspected foreign animal disease is reported and requires an epidemiological investigation. They may also access the database during emergency response simulations.
