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.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.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.

animal passed by an RFID reader with high-speed, wireless data transfer, and the exact time of the reading. The data in

ScoringAg's database is then formatted for secure Web pages, for display on secure screens for authorized persons (in the state

where the data was collected) within seconds, if required. This data collection and reporting system uses the national phone

infrastructure to relay data in real time (whether within the range of cell towers or not) from the high-speed RFID ear tag reader to ScoringAg Web servers with speed, precision, and accuracy, at

extremely low cost.CONTACT:
