        Subpart A_Chronic Wasting Disease Indemnification Program
 
Sec.  55.4  Disinfection of premises, conveyances, and materials.

    After cervids are destroyed in accordance with this part, all 
premises, including barns, stockyards and pens, all cars and other 
conveyances, and all other materials on any premises or conveyances used 
to house or transport such cervids must be cleaned and disinfected under 
the supervision of an APHIS employee or a State representative, using 
methods specified by the APHIS employee or a State representative. 
Premises may not be restocked with cervids until after the date 
specified in the herd plan required by Sec.  55.7(b) of this part. The 
owner to whom the indemnity is paid will be responsible for expenses 
incurred in connection with the cleaning and disinfection, except that 
APHIS or a State will pay for cleaning and disinfection of the 
conveyances used to transport the cervids to the location of disposal. 
However, APHIS may also decide to pay the cost of cleaning and 
disinfecting premises when the procedures needed to conduct effective 
cleaning and disinfection are unusually extensive and require methods 
that are not normally available on a premises. For example, normal 
procedures would include washing surfaces with high-pressure hoses and 
disinfectants and burying or burning contaminated materials. Unusually 
extensive procedures would include disposing of contaminated materials 
by digestive disposal or high-temperature incineration.
