Sec. 54.22  State scrapie certification boards.

    An area veterinarian in charge, after consulting with a State 
representative and industry representatives, may appoint a State scrapie 
certification board for the purpose of coordinating activities for the 
Scrapie Flock Certification Program, including making decisions to admit 
flocks to the Scrapie Flock Certification Program and to change flock 
status in accordance with the Scrapie Flock Certification Program 
standards. These boards are not appointed for the purpose of providing 
APHIS with consensus advice or policy recommendations. No more than one 
State scrapie certification board may be formed in each State. Each 
State scrapie certification board shall include as members the area 
veterinarian in charge, one or more State representatives, one or more 
accredited veterinarians, when possible, and one or more owners of 
flocks, and, at the discretion of the area veterinarian in charge, may 
include other members.
