(a) To be eligible for compensation for voluntary surveillance testing conducted on Bovinae from the Designated Surveillance Area or a Temporary Surveillance Area, the owner or manager for whom testing is performed must have a Brucellosis Mitigation Plan that authorizes voluntary surveillance testing.

(b) Payments will be made directly to a Category II Accredited Veterinarian and, if applicable, an Approved Livestock Market pursuant to W.S. 11-19-407(c) as follows:

(i) Upon receipt of official Brucellosis test charts from the testing laboratory, the Board will create an invoice and submit it to the veterinarian or market for approval.

(ii) The veterinarian or market must submit approval or corrections to the invoice within 30 days of the date that the Board sent the invoice for approval.

(iii) If the Board approves corrections, the Board will re-send the corrected invoice for approval, which must be approved within 30 days of resubmission.

(iv) If the Board does not receive approval or corrections within the allotted time, the invoice is deemed approved as sent.

(v) Once the invoice is approved, the Board will make payment.

(c) The compensation rate for voluntary surveillance testing is $7.00 per head if the animal tested has been within the boundaries of the Designated Surveillance Area or a Temporary Surveillance Area.

(d) The Board will only pay compensation for Testable Samples that are received at the 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," "Temporary Surveillance Area," or "Epidemiologic Testing."
