Title: Animal Welfare; Procedures for Applying for Licenses and Renewals  
Abstract:

This rulemaking would amend licensing requirements under our Animal Welfare Act regulations to promote compliance under the Act, reduce licensing fees, and strengthen existing safeguards that prevent any individual whose license has been suspended or revoked, or who has a history of noncompliance, from obtaining a license or working with regulated animals. This action would reduce regulatory burden and would more efficiently ensure licensees’ sustained compliance with the Act.
