Title: Animal Welfare; Amendments to Licensing Provisions and to Requirements for Dogs | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking will amend the licensing requirements under the Animal Welfare Act regulations to promote compliance, reduce licensing fees, and strengthen existing safeguards that prevent individuals and businesses who have a history of noncompliance from obtaining a license or working with regulated animals. This action reduces regulatory burden with respect to licensing and more efficiently ensures licensees’ sustained compliance with the Act. This rulemaking strengthens the veterinary care and watering standards for regulated dogs to better align the regulations with the humane care and treatment standards set by the Animal Welfare Act. |
