Title: Conditions for Payment of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Indemnity Claims | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking would amend the regulations pertaining to certain diseases of livestock and poultry to specify conditions for payment of indemnity claims for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Specifically, it would provide a formula that will allow us to split such payments between poultry and egg owners and parties with which the owners enter into contracts to raise or care for the eggs or poultry based on the proportion of the production cycle completed. This action is necessary to ensure that all contractors are compensated appropriately. It would also provide for the payment of indemnity for eggs required to be destroyed due to HPAI, thus codifying an existing policy. Finally, it would require owners and contractors, unless specifically exempted, to provide a statement that at the time of detection of HPAI in their facilities, they had in place and were following a biosecurity plan aimed at keeping HPAI from spreading to commercial premises. This requirement is intended to prevent the introduction of HPAI into commercial facilities due to substandard biosecurity practices. |
