We are amending the Animal
Welfare Act regulations to add
requirements for contingency planning
and training of personnel by research
facilities and by dealers, exhibitors,
intermediate handlers, and carriers. We
are taking this action because we believe
all licensees and registrants should
develop a contingency plan for all
animals regulated under the Animal
Welfare Act in an effort to better prepare
for potential disasters. This action will
heighten the awareness of licensees and
registrants regarding their
responsibilities and help ensure a
timely and appropriate response should
an emergency or disaster occur.
