| 2021-26174 | Handling of Animals; Contingency Plans | Rule | The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued a final rule on December 31, 2012, to establish regulations under which research facilities and dealers, exhibitors, intermediate handlers, and carriers must meet certain requirements for contingency planning and training of personnel. Implementation of the final rule was stayed on July 31, 2013, so that the agency could conduct additional review to further consider the impact of contingency plan requirements on regulated entities. Since that time, we have conducted such a review, and the 2021 Congressional Appropriations Act has required us to propose to lift the stay. We are therefore lifting the stay and making minor revisions to the requirements in order to update compliance dates and clarify intent. The lifting of the stay and proposed revisions will better ensure that entities responsible for animals regulated under the Animal Welfare Act are prepared to safeguard the health and welfare of such animals in the event of possible emergencies or disasters. | 2021-12-03 | 2021 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/12/03/2021-26174/handling-of-animals-contingency-plans | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-12-03/pdf/2021-26174.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service issued a final rule on December 31, 2012, to establish regulations under which research facilities and dealers, exhibitors, intermediate handlers, and carriers must meet certain requirements for... |
