This section amends the Animal Health Protection Act to establish compensation for poultry growers and layers within designated control areas. A 'control area' is defined as an area determined by the Administrator of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The Secretary is required to compensate owners of poultry growing or laying facilities located within a control area. Compensation is calculated based on the average income from the five most recent flocks multiplied by the number of flocks prohibited during the control area's effect. Compensation is capped at the difference between the calculated amount and any compensation already received from a State or other source. Compensation must be paid within 60 days of a facility owner's request. Exceptions outlined in subsection (d)(3) of the Animal Health Protection Act apply to this compensation provision. An owner cannot receive compensation under this subsection if they have already received compensation under subsection (d) for the same facility within the same control area and time period.
