Sec. 52.2  Payment of indemnity.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the 
Administrator is authorized to agree on the part of the Department to 
pay indemnity to the owner of herds of swine destroyed because the herds 
are known to be infected with pseudorabies, or individual breeding sows 
destroyed because they are known to be infected with pseudorabies. The 
amount of indemnity paid, together with the amount for net salvage the 
owner receives when the animals are slaughtered, shall not exceed the 
fair market value of the swine. Such swine must be sent directly to 
slaughter under permit in a conveyance closed with an official seal 
applied and removed by either an APHIS employee, a State representative, 
an accredited veterinarian, or an individual authorized for this purpose 
by an APHIS employee. The swine must be sent to a recognized 
slaughtering establishment.
    (b) If swine from herds that are destroyed because the herds are 
known to be infected with pseudorabies are not accepted at a recognized 
slaughtering establishment, or the owner and an APHIS employee or State 
representative agree they will not be accepted by a recognized 
slaughtering establishment, the Administrator is authorized to pay 100 
percent of the expenses of the purchase, destruction, and disposition of 
such swine.
