The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is seeking input on its new long-term strategic plan, according to the agency.

APHIS is in the process of developing a new strategic plan to guide the agency’s work over the next five years, according to a news release.

A draft strategic plan has been outlined, and now the agency is seeking comments from stakeholders, according to the release

The strategic plan framework, the release said, is a summarized version of the draft plan and provides highlights including the mission and vision statements, core values, strategic goals and objectives, and trends or signals of change the agency expects to influence the agency’s work in the future.
The USDA said it was seeking insight on these questions:

  • Are your interests represented in the plan?
  • Are there opportunities for APHIS to partner with others to achieve the goals and objectives?
  • Are there other trends for which the agency should be preparing?
  • Are there additional items APHIS should consider for the plan?

To review the strategic plan framework and provide your insights, please visit: https://www.regulations.gov/docket/APHIS-2022-0035

Beginning on June 2, stakeholders will have 30 days to share their thoughts on the framework, with a July 1 deadline for comments.
