Economic Impacts of FMD 16 Oladosu G, Rose A, Lee B “Economic Impacts of Potential Foot and Mouth Disease Agroterrorism: A General Equilibrium Analysis.” Bioterrorism and Biodefense. S12: 001. Total output losses range between $37B and $228B. Carpenter TE, O’Brien JM, Hagerman AD, McCarl BA “Epidemic and economic impacts of delayed detection of foot- and-mouth disease: a case study of a simulated outbreak in California.” J Vet Diag Invest. 23: 26–33. Median national loss in total agricultural surplus ranged from $2.3B to $69B as the diagnostic delay increased from 7 to 22 days (distribution of costs varies, but primarily direct costs).

APHIS FMD Response Goals The goals of an FMD response are to: (1) detect, control, and contain FMD in animals as quickly as possible; (2) eradicate FMD using strategies that stabilize animal agriculture, the food supply, the economy, and protect public health and the environment; and (3) provide science- and risk-based approaches and systems to facilitate continuity of business for non-infected animals and non- contaminated animal products. 18
APHIS FMD Response Goals Achieving these three goals will: Allow individual livestock facilities, States, Tribes, regions, and industries to resume normal production as quickly as possible. Allow the United States to regain FMD-free status without the consequences of the response effort causing more disruption and damage than the disease itself. 19
FMD Response Strategies FMD response strategies—strategies are not mutually exclusive: Stamping-out Stamping-out modified with emergency vaccination: To kill (vaccinated animals killed and landfilled) To slaughter (vaccinated animals enter food chain) To live (vaccinated animals are used for milking, breeding, normal purposes and life span, enter food chain) Vaccination to live without stamping-out 20
FMD Response Strategies Based on size of outbreak
Current Capability Given current vaccine resources and policy, we could respond to a small focal outbreak or moderate regional outbreak (Type 1 or 2). We would conduct this through stamping-out, in conjunction with a limited emergency vaccination program. 22
Stakeholder Resolutions 2010 USAHA/AAVLD:... and industry stakeholders should be included as members of FAD/FMD policy groups and steering committees to address transportation, storage, tracking and administration of restricted vaccines SACAH:... recommends the Secretary prioritize foreign animal disease research, specifically the development of vaccines... for preventing, diagnosing, and controlling FMD USAHA/AAVLD:... urge APHIS to expeditiously evaluate foot-and-mouth (FMD) vaccine quantity and capability, times to delivery USAHA/AAVLD:... urge APHIS to evaluate FMD vaccine quantity and capability, times to delivery, methods of distribution,... to meet FMD response needs. Develop consensus among stakeholders on a plan of action,... and initiate action to generate funding support for enhanced animal emergency preparedness. 23
Stakeholder Recommendations June 2014 SACAH Presentation : Dr. Jim Roth, Iowa State University Center for Food Security and Public Health, recommends 250 million doses of vaccine across multiple strains: “Secure funds to enable the surge capacity need for FMD vaccines... estimated at $150 million/year for 5 years to help protect a $100 billion dollar a year (cash receipts) animal industry.” 24

Consensus for Change? Sept. 30-Oct Representatives from APHIS and livestock industries met to Discuss viewpoints on what FMD preparedness should look like – Agreed, in concept – $ 150M/year for 5 years to reach desired capacity $70M/year to maintain Brainstorm and evaluate FMD vaccine funding options Voluntary check-off Non-voluntary check-off User fees
Voluntary Check-off? 30 Pros No Congressional action required; faster implementation Could leverage this option to further push the Appropriations route Cons Many producers may not participate Free-riders or non-contributors will exist Sector animosity likely if contributions are unequal Unstable revenue stream May negatively impact other voluntary check-off programs
31 Non-Voluntary Check-off? Pros More equitable than a voluntary program Reliable revenue stream Cons Requires a Congressional Act If charged at processor, producers would feel the impact If charged at the retailer, support difficult to obtain
User Fees? Charge for export certificates 32 Pros Funded by industry More sustainable revenue stream Could leverage this option to further push the Appropriations route Cons Requires Congressional Act Only exporters pay, but others will benefit (free-riders) User fees add to producer costs, little industry support Raising funds this way insufficient for timely action
33 Status of Funding? Industry is reluctant or has reservations to consider public-private partnerships considered - to date. Industry currently prefers to develop a concerted, multi-sector effort to secure appropriated funds as a matter of National security (HSPD-9 and PPD-8). APHIS continues to explore alternatives to includs brokering a public-private partnership.
