proportion of 1 pound to 3 gallons of water.
    (4) Sodium hydroxide (Lye) prepared in a fresh solution in the 
proportion of not less than 1 pound avoirdupois of sodium hydroxide of 
not less than 95 percent purity to 6 gallons of water, or one 13\1/2\ 
ounce can to 5 gallons of water. Due to the extreme caustic nature of 
sodium hydroxide solution, precautionary measures such as the wearing of 
rubber gloves, boots, raincoat, and goggles should be observed. An acid 
solution such as vinegar shall be kept readily available in case any of 
the sodium hydroxide solution should come in contact with the body.
    (5) Disinfectants which are registered under the Federal 
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. 135 et seq.), with 
tuberculocidal claims, as disinfectants for general use, may be used for 
the purpose of this part in accordance with directions on the labels 
accepted in connection with their registration. However, disinfectants 
which fall in this category are not permitted for use in outbreaks of 
foreign animal diseases unless in specific cases such use is approved in 
advance by the Administrator.
    (b) The use of ``cresylic disinfectant'' is permitted subject to the 
following conditions:
    (1) The manufacturer thereof shall have obtained specific permission 
from APHIS for the use of his products in official disinfection. To 
obtain such permission manufacturers shall first submit a sample of at 
least 8 ounces for examination, together with a statement of the formula 
employed and a guaranty that the product will be maintained of a quality 
uniform with the sample submitted.
    (2) To prevent confusion, the product of each manufacturer and 
distributor shall bear a distinctive trade name or brand, together with 
the name of the manufacturer or distributor.
    (3) The product shall at all times conform to specifications for 
composition and performance issued by the Administrator.
