Abstract
We are amending our general indemnity regulations to provide for the payment of indemnity to owners for fish destroyed because of spring viremia of carp. Subject to available funding, the Department may pay eligible owners up to 50 percent of the fair market value for fish destroyed because of spring viremia of carp. In addition, expenses incurred in connection with any cleaning and disinfection required shall be shared according to the agreement between APHIS and the State in which the work is done. We are also amending our interstate movement regulations to prevent the movement of fish infected with or exposed to spring viremia of carp. These actions are necessary to help control and eradicate this disease in the United States.
