and when accompanied by a certificate from such inspector showing the 
cattle to be free from such disease or exposure thereto. When it is 
determined by the Administrator that all cattle of all herds in any 
quarantined area have been inspected for scabies by an APHIS or State 
inspector, that all the infected or exposed herds have been identified, 
and that all the infected herds have been dipped twice, and all the 
exposed herds have been dipped in a permitted dip as prescribed in Sec. 
73.10, under supervision of an APHIS or APHIS-approved inspector, cattle 
of herds in such area which are not diseased with or exposed to scabies 
may be moved interstate in accordance with this section, without further 
APHIS inspection or certification, directly to a slaughtering plant 
where Federal Meat Inspection is maintained: Provided further, that 
treatment with ivermectin may be used in lieu of dipping for a herd of 
cattle treated together if the herd is physically separated for 14 days 
following treatment from all cattle not a part of the herd treated 
together with ivermectin. Information may be obtained from an APHIS 
inspector whether a determination as required by this section is 
currently applicable to authorize such movement. Cattle moved interstate 
under this section shall not be diverted en route and must be 
accompanied by a waybill or similar document, or a statement signed by 
the owner or shipper of the cattle, stating: (a) That the cattle are not 
known to be infected with scabies or exposed thereto; (b) [Reserved]; 
(c) the purpose for which the cattle are to be moved; (d) the number of 
the cattle; (e) the point from which the cattle are to be moved 
interstate; (f) that the cattle shall not be diverted en route; and (g) 
the name and address of the owner or shipper of the cattle.
