§ 15.9. Records of movement and reports of official tests.
Records and reports of official tests shall be maintained and made available for inspection by an authorized agent of the Bureau at any reasonable time as follows:
(1) Records of movement. Managers of flocks and hatcheries shall maintain a complete record for a 12-month period of names and addresses of sources and destinations of program birds or hatching eggs transported or otherwise moved to or from their premises. The records shall also include the date of movement and indicate the species, breed and strain moved.
(2) Reports of official tests. It is recommended by the Bureau that managers of breeding flocks and hatcheries should maintain a file for at least 2 years, as of November 30, 1977, and thereafter, of reports of official tests on their birds and on each of the flocks from which hatching eggs are procured. Waterfowl and quail breeding flocks and hatcheries should maintain the aforementioned reports for 6 years if maintaining pullorum-free flock status by repeat testing every 5 years as described in § 15.21(c)(iii) (relating to testing requirements for pullorum-typhoid free flock status). Properly completed NPIP Forms 15 may be used in lieu of reports of official tests. Use of this procedure will facilitate verification of compliance with testing requirements.
