Sec. 73.6  Placarding means of conveyance and marking billing of 
shipments of treated scabby cattle or cattle exposed to scabies.

    When cattle are shipped as ``Treated Scabby Cattle,'' or ``Cattle 
Exposed to Scabies,'' the transportation companies shall securely affix 
to and maintain upon both sides of each means of conveyance carrying 
such cattle a durable, conspicuous placard, not less than 5\1/2\ by 8 
inches in size, on which shall be printed with permanent black ink in 
boldfaced letters, not less than 1\1/2\ inches in height, the words, 
``Treated Scabby Cattle,'' or ``Cattle Exposed to Scabies,'' as the case 
may be. These placards shall also show the name of the place from which 
the shipment was made, the date of the shipment (which must correspond 
to the date of the waybills and other papers), the name of the 
transportation company, and the name of the place of destination. The 
carrier issuing the waybills, conductors' manifests, memoranda, and 
bills of lading pertaining to such shipments shall plainly write or 
stamp upon the face of each such paper the words, ``Treated Scabby 
Cattle,'' or ``Cattle Exposed to Scabies,'' as the case may be. If for 
any reason the placards required by this part have not been affixed to 
the means of conveyance as aforesaid, or the placards have been removed, 
destroyed, or rendered illegible, or the cattle are rebilled or are 
transferred to other means of conveyance, the placards shall be 
immediately affixed or replaced by the carrier, and the new waybills 
shall be marked as aforesaid by the carrier issuing them, the intention 
being that the billing accompanying the shipment shall be marked and the 
means of conveyance containing the cattle shall be placarded ``Treated 
Scabby Cattle,'' or ``Cattle Exposed to Scabies,'' as the case may be, 
from the time of shipment until the cattle arrive at destination or 
point of dipping and the disposition of the means of conveyance is 
indicated by an APHIS inspector or State inspector.
