Sec. 53.7  Disinfection of premises, conveyances, and materials.

    All premises, including barns, corrals, stockyards and pens, and all 
cars, vessels, aircraft, and other conveyances, and the materials 
thereon, shall be cleaned and disinfected under supervision of an APHIS 
employee whenever necessary for the control and eradication of disease. 
Expenses incurred in connection with such cleaning and disinfection 
shall be shared according to the agreement reached under Sec. 53.2 with 
the State in which the work is done. In the case of low pathogenic avian 
influenza related to the 2002 disease situations in Virginia and Texas 
associated with the H5 or H7 virus, premises may not be restocked with 
poultry until at least 7 days following such cleaning and disinfection, 
unless the Administrator determines that a shorter or longer period of 
time is adequate or necessary to protect new poultry against infection.
