            Subpart B_Indemnity for Sheep, Goats, and Horses
 
Sec. 51.27  Identification of goats, sheep, and horses to be destroyed.

    The claimant must ensure that any goats, sheep, and horses for which 
indemnity is claimed are marked with unique, individually numbered 
identification showing they are to be destroyed. This must be done 
within 15 days after the animals are condemned. The Veterinarian in 
Charge may extend the time limit to 30 days when the Veterinarian in 
Charge receives a request for extension prior to the expiration date of 
the original 15-day period, and when the Veterinarian in Charge 
determines that the extension will not adversely affect the brucellosis 
eradication program. However, the Administrator may extend the time 
limit beyond 30 days when unusual or unforeseen circumstances occur that 
prevent or hinder the identification of the animal within 30 days, such 
as, but not limited to, floods, storms, or other Acts of God, which are 
beyond the control of the owner, or when identification is delayed due 
to requirements of another Federal agency.
