Sec. 1240.30  Measures in the event of inadequate local control.

    Whenever the Commissioner of Food and Drugs determines that the 
measures taken by health authorities of any State or possession 
(including political subdivisions thereof) are insufficient to prevent 
the spread of any of the communicable diseases from such State or 
possession to any other State or possession, he may take such measures 
to prevent such spread of the diseases as he deems reasonably necessary, 
including inspection, fumigation, disinfection, sanitation, pest 
extermination, and destruction of animals or articles believed to be 
sources of infection.
