        (b)  Designation of additional dangerous transmissible
     diseases through regulation.--The department shall have the
     authority to promulgate regulations that designate other
     transmissible diseases to be dangerous transmissible diseases
     under this chapter if such other transmissible diseases present
     a danger to public health, to domestic animal health, to the
     safety or quality of the food supply or to the economic well-
     being of the domestic animal industries. The department shall
     also have the authority to withdraw the designation of a
     particular transmissible disease as a dangerous transmissible
     disease under this chapter if the transmissible disease no
     longer presents a danger to public health, to domestic animal
     health, to the safety or quality of the food supply or to the
     economic well-being of the domestic animal industries.
        (c)  Department of Health; notification and consultation.--
     The department shall inform the Department of Health of the
     outbreak of a domestic animal disease which may threaten human
     health and shall, in consultation with the Department of Health,
     determine the public health risk associated with the domestic
     animal disease outbreak and the appropriate action to manage
     such risk. Additions or deletions of domestic animal diseases of
     public health significance to or from the list of dangerous
     transmissible diseases shall be jointly determined by the
     department and the Department of Health.
        (d)  Designation of additional dangerous transmissible
     diseases through temporary order.--Upon the determination that a
     transmissible disease not listed in subsection (a) and not
     designated a dangerous transmissible disease through regulation
     under subsection (b) presents a danger to public health, to
     domestic animal health, to the safety or quality of the food
     supply or to the economic well-being of the domestic animal
     industries, the department shall issue a temporary order
     proclaiming that transmissible disease to be a dangerous
     transmissible disease within the meaning of this chapter. This
     chapter shall be applicable to that dangerous transmissible
     disease as of the date of actual or constructive notice of the
     order or any later date specified in that order. The department
     shall publish such an order in the Pennsylvania Bulletin within
     20 days of its issuance. Publication in the Pennsylvania
     Bulletin shall effect constructive notice. The temporary order
     shall remain in effect for a period not to exceed one year,
     unless reissued, or until the transmissible disease is
     designated to be a dangerous transmissible disease through
     regulation under subsection (b), whichever occurs first.
        (e)  Regulations.--The department may establish regulations
     addressing the specific discovery, prevention, reporting,
     testing, control and eradication measures which it determines
     are necessary with respect to any dangerous transmissible
     disease.
