Bovine
				tuberculosis-related quarantines.
If the Department imposes a

				herd containing camelids or cervids, or on the basis that a herd containing
				camelids or cervids has been exposed to bovine tuberculosis, one of the
				following minimum requirements shall be met as a precondition to the release of
				the quarantine:
(1) Exposed or infected
				animals have been removed from the quarantined premises, a sanitation protocol
				approved by the Department has been completed and no susceptible domestic
				animals have been on the premises for at least 30 days after completion of the
				sanitation protocol. In a newly assembled herd on premises where a tuberculous
				herd has been depopulated, two annual whole-herd tests shall be given. The
				first test is to be given approximately 6 months after assembly of the new
				herd. If the premises has been vacated for 1 year, these requirements may be
				waived at the Department's discretion.
(2) Tuberculin test reactors have been
				removed from the quarantined premises, and the animals remaining at the
				quarantined premises have been tuberculin test-negative, according to USDA
				protocol, on at least three separate tests of all the animals on the
				quarantined premises. The first test of the animals on the premises shall be
				conducted at least 90 days after the last reactor has been removed from the
				quarantined premises. The second and third tests shall be conducted at least
				180 days following the immediately preceding test.

				of each quarantined animal and the disposition of animals removed from the
				quarantined premises within either the 3 years immediately preceding the date
				that the quarantine was imposed or from the last occasion when the entire herd
				was test-negative for the particular disease involved, whichever period is
				shorter.
(c)
Follow-up.
Camelids and cervids that have been released from a
				bovine tuberculosis-related quarantine as a result of meeting the conditions of
				§
