## Summary

**Compensation for poultry growers barred from operating inside APHIS control areas.** This bill would add a new program to the Animal Health Protection Act that pays owners of poultry growing or laying facilities when APHIS control-area rules prevent them from producing flocks. - Owners of poultry growing or laying facilities would receive payments for lost flocks based on the facility's average income from the five most recent flocks multiplied by the number of flocks they were barred from producing. Payments are capped to subtract any compensation already received from a State or other source and must be paid within 60 days of a request. - APHIS would be the authority to set control areas and the covered poultry species, which include chickens, turkeys, ostriches, emus, rheas, cassowaries, waterfowl, and game birds but exclude doves and pigeons. The Secretary's calculation of compensation would be final and reviewable only by the Secretary or the Secretary's designee.
