submitted 60 years ago by Pub. L. 89-544 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 220 words · no verdicts yet
Dealers and exhibitors must keep records about animals, while research facilities must keep specified records about live dogs and cats. Intermediate handlers and carriers must include required information in federal forms or keep required records, and must make those records available to the Secretary.
Dealers and exhibitors must make and keep, for the reasonable period the Secretary* sets, the records the Secretary requires about animals’ purchase, sale, transportation, identification, and prior ownership. Research facilities must make and keep those records only for live dogs and cats.
At the Secretary’s request, a federal regulatory agency that requires intermediate handlers and carriers to keep records on forms about transporting, receiving, handling, and delivering animals must require those forms to include the information the Secretary needs to administer this chapter effectively. The handlers and carriers must include that information. They must keep it for the reasonable period the Secretary sets.
If federal regulatory agencies do not set requirements for such forms, intermediate handlers and carriers must make and keep, for the period the Secretary sets, the records the Secretary requires about transporting, receiving, handling, and delivering animals. They must make those records available to the Secretary for inspection and copying at all reasonable times.
Dealers and exhibitors shall make and retain for such reasonable period of time as the Secretary* may prescribe, such records with respect to the purchase, sale, transportation, identification, and previous ownership of animals as the Secretary may prescribe. Research facilities shall make and retain such records only with respect to the purchase, sale, transportation, identification, and previous ownership of live dogs and cats. At the request of the Secretary, any regulatory agency of the Federal Government which requires records to be maintained by intermediate handlers and carriers with respect to the transportation, receiving, handling, and delivery of animals on forms prescribed by the agency, shall require there to be included in such forms, and intermediate handlers and carriers shall include in such forms, such information as the Secretary may require for the effective administration of this chapter. Such information shall be retained for such reasonable period of time as the Secretary may prescribe. If regulatory agencies of the Federal Government do not prescribe requirements for any such forms, intermediate handlers and carriers shall make and retain for such reasonable period as the Secretary may prescribe such records with respect to the transportation, receiving, handling, and delivery of animals as the Secretary may prescribe. Such records shall be made available at all reasonable times for inspection and copying by the Secretary.
