Sec. 50.12  Claims for indemnity.

    Claims for Federal indemnity for cattle, bison, captive cervids, or 
swine destroyed because of tuberculosis shall be presented on indemnity 
claim forms furnished by APHIS on which the owner of the animals covered 
thereby shall certify that the animals are or are not, subject to any 
mortgage as defined in this Part. If the owner states there is a 
mortgage, the APHIS indemnity claim form shall be signed by the owner 
and by each person holding a mortgage on the animals consenting to the 
payment of any indemnity allowed to the person specified thereon. 
Payment will be made only if the APHIS indemnity claim form has been 
approved by a proper State official and if payment of the claim has been 
recommended by the appropriate Veterinarian in Charge or an official 
designated by him. On claims for indemnity made under the provisions of 
Sec. 50.3, the Veterinarian in Charge or official designated by him 
shall record on the APHIS indemnity claim form the amount of Federal and 
State indemnity payments that appear to be due to the owner of the 
animals. The owner of the animals shall be furnished a copy

of the APHIS indemnity claim form. The Veterinarian in Charge or 
official designated by him shall then forward the APHIS indemnity claim 
form to the appropriate official for further action on the claim. No 
charges for holding the cattle, bison, captive cervids, or swine on the 
farm pending slaughter or for trucking by the owner shall be so deducted 
or otherwise paid by the Department.
