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.
