Trabajando normalmente el servicio federal de USDA para importaciones

As you are aware, if a new Federal budget is not in place by midnight, there will be a partial shutdown of the Federal Government and some employees will be furloughed.  In the context of shutdown furloughs,the term "excepted" isused to refer to employees who are funded through annual appropriations who are nonetheless excepted from the furlough because they are performing work that, bylaw, may continue to be performed during a lapse in appropriations.

While we are still optimistic that a budget will be passed, we are making the necessary preparations for a shutdown.  As valuable cooperators and stakeholders, I wanted to inform you of the anticipated status of our operations. Our Plant Inspection Stations in Miami, and PEV office will remain fully staffed and operational. Nothing to worry about so far...
