PART 73_SCABIES IN CATTLE--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 73.1b  Quarantine policy.

    Under the Animal Health Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 8301 et seq.), the 
Secretary may promulgate regulations and may prohibit or restrict the 
movement in interstate commerce of any animal, article, or means of 
conveyance as the Secretary determines necessary to prevent the 
introduction or dissemination of any pest or disease of livestock. 
Pursuant to this authority, the Department has quarantined various areas 
because of cattle scabies and has issued the regulations in this part 
governing the interstate movement of cattle from such areas. It is the 
policy of the Department to quarantine those portions of any State that 
are clearly identifiable, and in which exist animals affected with 
cattle scabies, or mites which are the contagion of said disease and not 
to quarantine an entire State for cattle scabies if the State adopts and 
enforces requirements for the intrastate movement of cattle that are at 
least as stringent as the requirements in the regulations in this part 
for interstate movements of cattle. Further, it is the policy of the 
Department to remove the quarantine from any quarantined area when it is 
determined that scabies-affected animals and the mites which are the 
contagion of scabies no longer exist in such areas.
