pay compensation for Mandatory Testing directly to a Category II Accredited

Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory or another USDA APHIS approved Brucellosis
testing laboratory in properly labeled tubes and with properly completed,
legible USDA APHIS Brucellosis test charts. The reason for the test must be
specified on the test chart as "DSA" or "Temporary Surveillance
Area."
(c) An owner or manager is
not required to have a Brucellosis Mitigation Plan or a Brucellosis Risk

compensation for Mandatory Testing.
(d) For Mandatory Testing of Test-Eligible
Bovinae originating within the Designated Surveillance Area or a Temporary

(f) If
Mandatory Testing of Test-Eligible Bovinae originating within the Designated
Surveillance Area or a Temporary Surveillance Area occurs at an Approved
Livestock Market and that market supplies labor to move the Bovinae through the
alleys and chutes, the Board will pay that market $2.00 per head tested. If a
Category II Accredited Veterinarian supplies this labor, the Category II
Accredited Veterinarian will receive this payment in addition to the $5.50 per
head for testing, and the Approved Livestock Market will not receive
compensation.
