The provisions of the Animal Health Protection Act do not allow for monetary 

 penalties for violations of the Veterinary Accreditation Program. However, if your 

 actions involve interstate violations of livestock movement regulations or if your 

 actions contribute to any violations of the Animal Health Protection Act other than 

 veterinary accreditation, you may be assessed civil or criminal monetary penalties.
