Sec. 73.1b  Quarantine policy.

    The Act of March 3, 1905, as amended (21 U.S.C. 123), authorizes the 
Secretary of Agriculture to quarantine any State, or any portion of any 
State, when he determines the fact that any animals in such jurisdiction 
are affected with any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease of 
livestock or that the contagion of any such disease exists, or that 
vectors which may disseminate any such disease exist in such 
jurisdiction. Pursuant to this authority, the Department has quarantined 
various areas because of cattle scabies and has issued the regulations 
in this part governing the interstate movement of cattle from such 
areas. It is the policy of the Department to quarantine those portions 
of any State that are clearly identifiable, and in which exist animals 
affected with cattle scabies, or mites which are the contagion of said 
disease and not to quarantine an entire State for cattle scabies if the 
State adopts and enforces requirements for the intrastate movement of 
cattle that are at least as stringent as the requirements in the 
regulations in this part for interstate movements of cattle. Further, it 
is the policy of the Department to remove the quarantine from any 
quarantined area when it is determined that scabies-affected animals and 
the mites which are the contagion of scabies no longer exist in such 
areas.
