and materials, contaminated because of occupation or use by brucellosis 
reactor or exposed animals shall be properly cleaned and disinfected 
with a disinfectant permitted by APHIS in accordance with 
recommendations of the APHIS or State representative within 15 days from 
the date reactors were removed from the premises, except that the 
appropriate Veterinarian in Charge may extend the time limit for 
disinfection to 30 days when request for such extension is received by 
him prior to the expiration date of the original 15-day period allowed, 
and when he determines that such extension will not adversely affect the 
Brucellosis Eradication Program; and except further, that the 
Administrator may, upon request in specific cases, extend the time limit 
beyond the 30-day period when unusual and unforeseen circumstances 
occur, such as but not limited to floods, storms, or other Acts of God, 
which are beyond the control of the owner, preventing or hindering the 
disinfection of premises, conveyances, and materials. Certain premises 
may be exempted from such cleaning and disinfecting requirements by 
approval of the appropriate Veterinarian in Charge on written 
recommendations by the APHIS or State representative or when a written 
report by the APHIS or State representative determines that there are no 
buildings, holding facilities, conveyances, or other materials on the 
premises that would require such cleaning and disinfection.
