Sec. 81.4  Issuance of certificates.

    (a) Information required on certificates. A certificate must show 
any official animal identification numbers of each animal to be moved. A 
certificate must also show the number of animals covered by the 
certificate; the purpose for which the animals are to be moved; the 
points of origin and destination; the consignor; and the consignee. The 
certificate must include a statement by the issuing accredited 
veterinarian, State veterinarian, or Federal veterinarian that the 
animals were not exhibiting clinical signs associated with CWD at the 
time of examination and that the animals are from a herd participating 
in the CWD Herd Certification Program, and must provide the herd's 
program status; Except that, certificates issued for animals moved 
directly to slaughter do not need to state that the animals are from a 
herd participating in the CWD Herd Certification Program and must state 
that an APHIS employee or State representative has been notified in 
advance of the date the animals are being moved to slaughter.

    (b) Animal identification documents attached to certificates. As an 
alternative to typing or writing individual animal identification on a 
certificate, another document may be used to provide this information, 
but only under the following conditions:
    (1) The document must be a State form or APHIS form that requires 
individual identification of animals;
    (2) A legible copy of the document must be stapled to the original 
and each copy of the certificate;
    (3) Each copy of the document must identify each animal to be moved 
with the certificate, but any information pertaining to other animals, 
and any unused space on the document for recording animal 
identification, must be crossed out in ink; and
    (4) The following information must be typed or written in ink in the 
identification column on the original and each copy of the certificate 
and must be circled or boxed, also in ink, so that no additional 
information can be added:
    (i) The name of the document; and
    (ii) Either the serial number on the document or, if the document is 
not imprinted with a serial number, both the name of the person who 
issued the document and the date the document was issued.
