Sec. 55.2  Payment of indemnity.


    The Administrator is authorized to pay for the purchase and 
destruction of CWD positive animals, CWD exposed animals, and CWD 
suspect animals. Subject to available funding, the amount of the Federal 
payment for any such animals will be 95 percent of the appraised value 
established in accordance with Sec. 55.3 of this part, but the Federal 
payment shall not exceed $3,000 per animal. If a non-Federal source 
makes a payment for an animal for which a Federal indemnity is paid, and 
the non-Federal payment exceeds 5 percent of the appraised value 
established in accordance with Sec. 55.3 of this part, the amount of the 
Federal payment for any such animals will be reduced by the amount by 
which the non-Federal payment exceeds 5 percent of the appraised value. 
The Administrator is also authorized to reimburse State governments or 
State animal health agencies for payments they make for the purchase and 
destruction, on or after October 1, 2001, of CWD positive animals, CWD 
exposed animals, and CWD suspect animals, and for State expenditures for 
associated carcass disposal and cleaning and disinfection costs 
resulting from such purchase and destruction, in accordance with 
cooperative agreements signed by the Administrator and the duly 
authorized agent of the State.
