N.A.I.S.
INFO PAGE
(NATIONAL ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM)
Many
of you have never heard of N.A.I.S. , I will try to explain the
concept without inserting my own opinions (which is very hard for me
on this subject)
This is a program being propagated through USDA using "mad cow"
disease, "Avian" flu and other animal to human transfer
type diseases, to promote a system by which all "back yard"
farmers will be forced to be placed on a GPS locater grid and have
all livestock (common edible types) cows, goats, rabbits, chickens,
turkeys and all others you can think of "chipped" at your
own expense. examples are: a small flock of chickens 5 or 6 birds for
your own egg production will all need to be "chipped" by
the local vet at an approximate cost of (at this time) $25.00 per
bird--NO EXCEPTIONS!!. this is for your safety, of course. You also
will be required to report (within a specified amount of time-24
hrs.) any deaths or births that occur in your flock, whether natural
or a "sunday dinner death"
The following articles will be updated as I can. comments may be sent to: libertynewmexico@yahoo.com
As
part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard U.S. animal health, USDA
initiated the implementation of the National Animal Identification
System (NAIS) in 2004. NAIS is a cooperative State-Federal-industry
partnership to standardize and expand animal identification programs
and practices to all livestock species and poultry. NAIS is being
developed through the integration of three components—premises
identification, animal identification, and animal tracking. The
long-term goal of the NAIS is to provide animal health officials with
the capability to identify all livestock and premises that have had
direct contact with a disease of concern within 48 hours after
discovery.
NAIS is currently a voluntary program. To ensure the participation requirements of NAIS not only provide the results necessary to maintain the health of the national herd but also is a program that is practical for producers and all others involved in production, USDA has adopted a phased-in approach to implementation. Although the draft strategic plan references mandatory requirements in 2008 and beyond, to date no actions have been initiated by USDA to develop regulations to require participation in NAIS. APHIS will publish updates to the implementation plan as recommendations are received and evaluated by the NAIS Subcommittee and the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Foreign Animal and Poultry Diseases.
JOHANNS RELEASES NATIONAL ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION PLAN USDA's General Standards for Database Integration Also Available
WASHINGTON, April 6. 2006-Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns today announced the release of an implementation plan that outlines timelines and benchmarks for the establishment of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), along with a plan for the initial integration of private and state animal tracking databases with NAIS.
"Developing an effective animal identification system has been a high priority for USDA and we've made significant strides toward achieving a comprehensive U.S. system," said Johanns. "We recognize that this represents one of the largest systematic changes ever faced by the livestock industry and we have welcomed suggestions from stakeholders to ensure that we continue to gain momentum. The plan we are releasing today will guide our efforts as we continue to work with our State and industry partners to implement a nationwide system."
The implementation plan continues to set an aggressive timeline for ensuring full implementation of the NAIS by 2009. It establishes benchmarks for incrementally accomplishing the remaining implementation goals to enable the NAIS to be operational by 2007, and to achieve full producer participation by 2009. Several important components have already been accomplished. These include the development of premises registration systems in each State and the issuance of guidelines for the manufacture and distribution of animal identification numbers. More than 235,000 premises are currently registered.
USDA is also releasing today the general technical standards for animal tracking databases that will enable integration of private systems with the NAIS. Private database owners are invited to submit applications for system evaluation to USDA and offer feedback as the final technical requirements are established. USDA will then enter into cooperative agreements with owners of databases that meet the standards. The application for system evaluation and a draft cooperative agreement are available on the NAIS web site at www.usda.gov/nais.
By early 2007, USDA expects to have the technology in place, called the Animal Trace Processing System or commonly known as the metadata system, that will allow state and federal animal health officials to query the NAIS and private databases during a disease investigation. The animal tracking databases will record and store animal movement tracking information for livestock that state and federal animal health officials will query for animals of interest in a disease investigation.
Training sessions will be offered to organizations interested in distributing animal identification number (AIN) tags as either a tag manager or tag reseller. Two USDA-sponsored web conferences about the administration of AIN tags and a demonstration of the AIN Management System are scheduled for Thursday, April 13 at 1 p.m., and Wednesday, April 26 at 1 p.m., Eastern Time. Details of the web conferences are available on the NAIS web site.
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is also finalizing $3 million in funds that will be awarded to a number of States and Tribes to conduct field trials to analyze information pertaining to animal identification. Field trials will focus on the evaluation of new technologies for animal identification and automated data collection. APHIS will also fund an economic study focusing on the cost of NAIS implementation within a state; the development of procedures to measure the performance of identification devices and a bi-state study to develop recommendations regarding livestock exhibitions to achieve compatibility with the NAIS.
APHIS has awarded approximately $27 million in funds to States and Tribes to advance the national animal identification initiative. This funding has been used primarily for premises identification and registration. APHIS is updating a summary report detailing what has been accomplished through previously funded field trials and pilot projects. This report will be made public upon completion.
Throughout the establishment and implementation of the NAIS, USDA has engaged in extensive dialogue with producers and industry organizations across the country to gauge their views on animal identification. In April, 2005, USDA published a draft strategic plan and draft program standards for the NAIS and invited public comments on those documents. Industry-specific working groups have also been studying the issue of animal identification and will be making recommendations to USDA through an established advisory committee on how best to tailor the program to meet their industry-specific needs.
Additionally, USDA hosted a public meeting in Kansas City, Missouri, in November, 2005, to receive comments from cooperators and stakeholders on the animal movement tracking component of the NAIS. In total, these efforts have ensured that momentum continues to build around this important effort. USDA believes that it is critically important to develop the appropriate framework for the system to ensure successful implementation and wide-scale support.
The NAIS implementation plan, along with more information about the program, is available at www.usda.gov/nais.

Voluntary" ?
As a voluntary effort, full implementation of
the NAIS will be achieved as a phased-in plan, emphasizing premises
registration as the foundation of the system. USDA's intent of 100%
participation!
On Page 5 in the CA: Benchmarks
The work plan
must also include specific goals of achievement (measurable outcomes)
regarding premises registration efforts. In addition to projected
numbers of premises registered, performance may also include to
document effort and productivity such as number of meetings
conducted: number of producers/owners contacted: outcomes associated
with animal identification coordinating committees: outreach
materials disributed: mass mailing results: cooperative extension
programming outcomes, including NAIS funded and unfunded cooperative
extention efforts: and use of promotional incentives to register
premises. Measurable outcome(s) for FY 2007 NAIS Implementation
Cooperative Agreement funding, including premises registration, among
others, is/are to be emphasized over measurable outputs (what was
accomplished is to be prioritized over what was done and documented
in quarterly and final reports).
On Page 6 in the CA: Coercion at
Market Entry Points
"States will be responsible for
selecting cooperating livestock markets and dealers in their State
and coordinating support, including documentation of performance for
required reports."
The Document also includes suggesting
"integrating" premises information from existing programs
into the NAIS "voluntarily registered" database and
financial or other prizes for thoses who register and for
"cooperating" livestock markets- who then force their
producers to register in order to sell their livestock.

A question you should be asking yourself,
Why are the States allowing to FEDERALIZE your PROPERTY and LIVESTOCK
under the auspice of "diseases" via the National Animal
Identification System?
You don't believe it yet, Then why are
they looking to Federalize the NATIONAL GUARD?
How about
Federalize HEALTH CARE ?
They have Federalized certain Criminal
Laws, They have Federalized Child Support, they have Federalized
jurisdiction over any plant or animal group it names Endangered or
Threatened under the auspices of the Endangered Species Act.
Still
not convienced? They have regulated Dog Breeding , circus animals,
farmers who raise animals, animal experimenters, "exotic"
animal enclosures, research techniques and standards and many other
animal uses under the Animal Welfare Act.
Still not convienced,
Each and every person will be Federalized via the NATIONAL ID CARD.
These increases of FEDERAL JURISDICTION and concomitant reduction
of state jurisdictions affect each of us in our EVERDAY LIVES.
Bit
by Bit everything will be FEDERALIZED. Do you know what that will
mean?

Property v. Premises
In a
letter dated June 25, 2007 from the Colorado Cattlemen’s
Association to Colorado County Commissioners, John Stulp, Marc
Johnson, Jeff Goodwin, Chris Wiseman, Kenton Ochsner, Colorado
Extension Agent and the Colorado Ag Council regarding 4-H, FFA and
State Fair Premises Registration Requirements, the Colorado Cattlemen
state in paragraph 2 “First and foremost, CCA supports the
right of 4-H, FFA and the State Fair to make any decisions within
their legal purview. This is considered a property right by our
organization. . .”
Why is it so important for the CCA to
view the rights of 4-H, FFA and the State Fair as a property right?
It is quite simple, property rights are protected under the
Constitution of the United States and the Colorado Constitution.
What
is premises identification? The United States Department of
Agriculture wants you to identify your property as a premises under
the National Animal Identification System. Throughout the entire
Draft National Animal Identification System Users’ Guide, land
is referred to as a premises and not property. Why is this important?
A premises has no protection under the Constitution of the United
States or the Colorado Constitution. Property, on the other hand,
always has the exclusive rights of the owner tied to it. Property is
divided into real property and personal property. There is also
absolute property which includes a horse, sheep or other animal.
Property rights are protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments
of the Constitution of the United States.
The word premises is a
synonym for the word tenement. A definition of the word tenement in
law is: “Property, such as land, rents, or franchises, held by
one person leasing it to another.”
A definition of premises
in law from the Websters 1828 Dictionary defines premises as: “land
or things mentioned in the preceding part of a deed.” A
definition of premises from the Websters New World Dictionary 1960
College Edition: is: “the part of a deed or lease that states
its reason, the parties involved, and the property in conveyance.”
Lectric Law Library’s (www.lectlaw.com) says that the word
premises signifies a formal part of a deed; and it is made to
designate an estate.
Websters New World Dictionary 1960 College
Edition defines the word conveyance as “3. the transfer of
ownership of real property from one person to another. 4. the
document by which this is effected.”
To designate is to
name or entitle.
Think about it - a premises is “the part of
a deed or lease that states its reason, the parties involved, and the
property in conveyance.” , a premises has no protection under
the United States or Colorado Constitutions and has no exclusive
rights of the owner tied to it.
