tions and standards. The AWA requires that non-Federal
research facilities receive at least one unannounced
inspection per year to determine compliance. This rate of
inspection was accomplished in FY 1992. Listed below are
the number of active and inactive registered research
facilities for FY 1990-92. Chart 3 shows the number of
inspections of research facilities for FY 1990-92.

Reports From Research Facilities

Each research facility registered under the AWA and each
Federal research facility is required to submit an annual
report, signed and certified by the Institutional Official,
covering the previous fiscal year. The report lists the
number and species of animals used in research, testing,
and experimentation, and it indicates whether pain-
relieving drugs were administered. If such drugs were not
administered, the report must explain why the use of pain-
relieving drugs would have interfered with the research or
experiment. The report must also assure that profession-
ally acceptable standards, including the appropriate use of
pain-relieving drugs, were followed; that each principal
investigator considered alternatives to painful procedures;
and that the facility adhered to the regulations under the
AWA and that any exception to such adherence was
justified by the principal investigator and approved by the
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.

In FY 1992, 2,134,182 warmblooded animals were used in
research, testing, or experimentation. This number
excludes birds, rats, mice, and farm animals used in
agricultural research. Chart 4 shows the number and
species of animals used in research for FY 1992. Chart 5
shows the number and percentages of animals used in
research that involved no pain or distress, or where the
pain was alleviated with drugs, or where there was pain
with no drugs used because of interference with the
research or test results. The tables in the appendix contain
further details.

In FY 1992, there were 82 research facilities whose data
are not included in this report because they either submit-
ted their report too late or did not submit a report. It is a
violation of the AWA for a facility, whether active or
inactive, not to submit a timely report. The violating
parties are subject to legal action.

Summary of Inspections

APHIS/REAC performs prelicensing inspections because
license applicants are required by law to be in full compli-
ance with regulations and standards before a license is
issued. After a license has been issued, APHIS performs
unannounced inspections and reinspections to ensure
continued compliance with the AWA. Reinspections are
followup inspections conducted on those facilities that
were found to have one or more violations.

In FY 1992, APHIS conducted 3,022 prelicensing inspec-
tions, 17,764 compliance inspections, and 2,041 carrier
compliance inspections, for a total of 22,827 inspections
performed. This is an increase of 27 percent over the total
inspections (18,003) of FY 1991.

Prelicensing Inspections
The number of prelicensing inspections performed by
APHIS/REAC for FY 1990-92 is listed below. Prelicensing

inspections increased by 6 percent over the numbers for
FY 1991.

Compliance Inspections

APHIS/REAC routinely makes unannounced inspections of
all licensees and registrants to ascertain compliance with
the regulations. If conditions are discovered that are not in
compliance with the regulations during the inspections,
REAC establishes a deadline for correction of these items.
Inspectors are required to make a reinspection following
the deadline date for correction. If the conditions remain
uncorrected, REAC documents them for possible legal
action. Listed at the top of the right-hand column are the
number of compliance inspections (including reinspections)
for dealers, exhibitors, research facilities, and intermediate
handlers for FY 1990-92 (does not include numbers for
prelicenseing or carrier inspections). Compliance inspec-
tions increased by 29 percent over those of FY 1991.

‘Because of an error in reporting, the total compliance inspection number was
incorrectly reported as 15,148 in the FY 1991 Animal Welfare Enforcement report
By mistake, this number included 1,386 carrier inspections.

Inspections of Animals in Transit

APHIS/REAC conducts unannounced inspections of
registered carriers and intermediate handlers for animals in
transit, Registrants are required to refuse animals if the
shipper does not meet regulatory standards, REAC
inspectors perform unannounced inspections at airports
and intermediate handler facilities to ensure humane care
and handling of animals in transit—especially to ensure
that animals are provided care when there is a delay
involved. Inspectors concentrate their efforts on times
when animals are present for inspections. Inspections are
conducted at major airports as resources allow.

APHIS/REAC in transit inspections for FY 1992 increased

by 46 percent over the figures for FY 1991. The number
of in transit inspections is listed below.

Carriers and Intermediate Handlers

Carriers registered with USDA include airlin
freight lines, railroads, and other shipping lines. Registered
intermediate handlers include ground freight handlers.

Intermediate handlers usually provide services for animals
between consignor and carrier and from carrier to con-
signee, They also care for animals delayed in transit.

on topics related to animal welfare. AWIC funds special

s, including the production of training materials,
(e.g, videos, slides, etc.) and the sponsorship of scientific
meetings concerning animal welfare. AWIC participates in
the National Institutes of Health workshops on humane
animal care and also conducts workshops that train
individuals how to properly meet the information require-
ments of the Act. AWIC also participates in outreach
activities by attending and speaking at meetings of profes-
sional societies involved in animal research. In FY 1992,
AWIC responded to information requests from 3,057
individuals. In addition to providing researchers with
comprehensive literature searches, AWIC distributed 47,522
publications, newsletters, and other information products.
WIC workshops and presentations were provided to
more than 1,000 people.

APHIS/REAC also maintains close working relationships
with the following Federal agencies regarding regulation
and enforcement of the AWA: the National Institutes of
Health and the Food and Drug Administration, Depart-
ment of Health and Human Services; Department of
Defense; Department of Veterans Affairs; Marine Mammal
Commission; National Marine Fisheries Service, Depart-
ment of Commerce; and the U.S. Department of the
Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service.

Other Activities

APHIS Animal Care personnel actively participate in
organizations concerned with the humane care of animals.
REAC is represented on committees of the American
Veterinary Medical Association, the International Associa-
tion for Aquatic Animal Medicine, and the American
‘Association of Zoo Veterinarians. APHIS maintains an
active role in the American Association of Zoological
Parks and Aquariums and the American Association of
Laboratory Animal Science by having staff representatives
attend their annual conferences. REAC personnel have
acted in the capacity of observer to the Standing Commit-
tee for Animal Welfare at the Council of Europe. REAC is
also represented in the United States Animal Health
‘Association and has members on both its animal welfare
and zoological committees. APHIS Animal Care personnel
have been invited by Federal agencies, as well as nongov-
ernmental organizations, to make presentations concern
ing animal welfare. Headquarters staff and field personnel
participate in this activity.

In developing the Exhibition Animal Intern Program,
REAC worked closely with member institutions of the
‘American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums.

In FY 1992, a joint project between USDA, the Federal
Aviation Administration, and the carrier industry was
initiated. This study will measure and evaluate phy:
conditions within the cargo holds of commercial aircraft
transporting regulated animals.

Public Information

APHIS issued eight press releases on animal welfare during
FY 1992. These included reports of animal welfare
compliance and new regulations.

Public Correspondence

During FY 1992, APHIS received and responded to
inquiries about animal welfare from individual citizens
and concerned groups. Also, APHIS received correspon-
dence referred through the Office of the President and
members of Congress. Other Federal agencies also refer
animal welfare concerns to APHIS for appropriate
responses. Listed below are the number of animal welfare
inquiries received by APHIS Executive Correspondence
during FY 1990-92.

major regulatory proposals in FY 1992.

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests

In FY 1992, APHIS received FOIA requests that resulted in.
the release of 47,426 sheets of paper. Listed below are
the number of such requests received for the past 3 fiscal
years.

Organization and Administration of the AWA

USDA is charged with developing and implementing
regulations to support the AWA. These regulations, which
appear in 9 CFR, Parts 1-3, provide minimum standards for
the care and handling of covered animals. Included are
requirements for handling, housing, feeding, sanitation,
ventilation, shelter from extreme weather, veterinary care,
and separation of species when necessary. Birds, labora-
tory rats, and laboratory mice are currently excluded from
these regulations, but legal action pending at the end of
FY 1992 may cause their inclusion.

Within USDA, APHIS is responsible for administering the
AWA. The REAC unit of APHIS has direct responsibility
for administration of this program. REAC was established
within APHIS in 1988 to administer and enforce the AWA
and the Horse Protection Act.

The Animal Care component of APHIS/REAC allows APHIS
to give exclusive attention and visibility to the Animal Care
program. Employees of Animal Care devote 100 percent
of their efforts to animal care. These personnel are highly
qualified and have an excellent professional support
system and communication network. All of these individu-
als are highly trained, and some have specialized interest
and expertise in such areas as the care of laboratory
animals, zoo animals, and marine mammals.

The Regulatory Enforcement component of APHIS/REAC
brings together the professional investigators of the agency
into a single unit. Regulatory enforcement is an integral
part of an overall approach to achieving compliance with
APHIS regulations through sound enforcement and strong
educational efforts.

APHIS/REAC Headquarters Activities

The assistant deputy administrator for Animal Care super-
vises the inspection field force and the director of the
Animal Care staff. That staff provides technical support
and a: in developing program direction, goals, priori-
ties, policies, procedures, and regulations to carry out the
Animal Care program effectively and efficiently. The
Animal Care staff serves as the source of the agency's
expertise in the areas of laboratory animals and research
facilities, horse protection, exhibition animals, and animal
dealers.

In cooperation with APHIS’ Recruitment and Development
group, the Animal Care staff provides program training for
Animal Care personnel. The staff also cooperates with
other Federal agencies in enforcing the AWA and in
maintaining liaison and working relations with regulated
professional groups, industry organizations, humane
groups, and other concerned groups and individuals.

The Regulatory Enforcement staff has the enforcement
function for all APHIS programs. This includes, but is not
limited to, investigation of violations of the AWA regula-
tions, the documentation of evidence, and the develop-
ment of alleged violation cases for prosecution. Regulatory
Enforcement personnel work closely with USDA's Office of
the General Counsel in the prosecution of violators.

APHIS/REAC Field Activities

The Animal Care program is regionally administered
through sector offices in Annapolis, MD; Minneapolis, MN;
Sacramento, CA; Fort Worth, TX; and Tampa, FL. Each
sector office is responsible for administering the AWA in
the specific States within its jurisdiction. Based at each
sector office is a supervisory veterinary medical officer
who manages the Animal Care program and a supervisory
investigator who manages the Regulatory Enforcement
program. Licensing, registration, and investigation of
complaints and alleged violations are accomplished by
APHIS/REAC administrative, technical, and clerical employ-
ees also based at the sector offices. The Animal Care field
force consists of veterinary medical officers and animal
care inspectors. Regulatory Enforcement field personnel
are investigators who perform compliance investigations.

Training

During FY 1992, the Recruitment and Development staff
and the Animal Care staff developed and presented 6
formal training courses for 196 field personnel at various
locations across the country.

In FY 1992, 136 REAC personnel completed 1 of 4 training
courses on dealer recordkeeping, 30 employees completed
1 course on basic animal care, and 30 employees com-
pleted 1 course on water quality for marine mammals.

The instructors included experts from Federal agencies and
the private sector.
