establishment or be disposed of by rendering, burial, or incinerating in 
an approved manner under supervision of an APHIS or State employee.

cervids, or swine for which Federal indemnity may be paid because of

received by him prior to the expiration of the original 15-day period 
allowed, and the Administrator may extend the time limit for slaughter 
beyond 30 days, upon request in specific cases and for reasons 
satisfactory to him.
