Sec. 54.9  Waiver of requirements for scrapie control pilot projects.

    The Administrator may waive the following requirements of this part 
for participants in a scrapie control pilot project by recording the 
requirements waived in the scrapie control pilot project plan:
    (a) The determination that an animal is a high-risk animal, if the 
scrapie control pilot project plan contains testing or other procedures 
that indicate that an animal, despite meeting the definition of high-
risk animal, is unlikely to spread scrapie; and
    (b) The requirement that high-risk animals must be removed from a 
flock if the scrapie control pilot project plan contains alternative 
procedures to prevent the further spread of scrapie without removing 
high-risk animals from the flock.
