APHIS requests extension on information collection related to handling, care, treatment, and transportation of certain animals

Lab Animal volume 34, pages 17–18 (2005)Cite this article

On 18 August 2005, the US Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) announced its “intention to request an extension of approval [for a period of three years from the Office of Management and Budget] of an information collection in support of regulations issued under the Animal Welfare Act for the humane handling, care, treatment, and transportation of certain animals by dealers, research institutions, exhibitors, carriers, and intermediate handlers1.”

The Animal Welfare Regulations in 9 CFR Part 2 require facilities that use animals for regulated purposes (dealers, research institutions, exhibitors, carriers, and intermediate handlers) to obtain a license or register with the USDA, and document specific information, which APHIS uses to ensure compliance with the Animal Welfare Regulations.
