that the animals are or are not subject to any mortgage as defined in 
this part. If the owner states

there is a mortgage, the APHIS indemnity claim form shall be signed by 
the owner and by each person holding a mortgage on the animals, 
consenting to the payment of any indemnity allowed to the person 
specified thereon. Payment will be made only if the claimant has 
submitted a complete indemnity claim form to, and such claim has been 
approved by the Veterinarian in Charge or by an APHIS representative 
designated by him. On claims for indemnity made under the provisions of 
Sec.  51.3, the Veterinarian in Charge or an APHIS representative 
designated by him shall record on the APHIS indemnity claim form the 
amount of Federal and State indemnity payments that appear to be due to 
the owner of the animals. The owner of the animals shall be furnished a 
copy of the completed APHIS indemnity claim form. The Veterinarian in 
Charge or an APHIS representative designated by him shall then forward 
the completed APHIS indemnity claim form to the Administrator for 
further action on the claim. No charges for holding the animals on the 
farm pending slaughter or for trucking by the owner shall be so deducted 
or otherwise paid by the United States Department of Agriculture.
    (b) Claims for indemnity for registered cattle shall be accompanied 
by the cattle's registration papers issued in the name of the owner. If 
the registration papers are unavailable or if the cattle are less than 1 
year old and are not registered at the time the claim for indemnity is 
submitted, the Veterinarian in Charge may grant a 60-day extension or 
the Administrator may grant an extension longer than 60 days for the 
presentation of registration papers.
