Good day everyone.
My name is Taylor Bennett.
And my presentation today is
entitled The Legal Aspects
of Using Animals for
Research in the U.S.
My presentation will attempt
to put into perspective
and explain the system of oversight
of the use of animals in research,
teaching, and testing in the US.
0:20
The eighth edition of
the Guide for the Care
and Use of Laboratory
Animals succinctly
describes the oversight
process in the US.
It states at the use
of laboratory animals
is governed by an interrelated
dynamic system regulations,
policies, guidelines,
and procedures.
The regulations are those
developed by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The principal policy is
the Public Health Service
Policy on Humane Care
and Use of Laboratory
Animals, that's the PHS policy,
and the guidelines are those
established by the Association
for the Assessment and
Accreditation of Laboratory
Animal Care International, AAALAC.
Each institution then must
establish procedures to manage
their animal care and use program.
The key players at the
institutional level
are the Institutional Official,
or IO, the Institutional
Animal Care and Use
Committee, or IACUC,
the Attending Veterinarian, or AV.

The United States
Department of Agriculture
is the executive agency responsible
for promulgating regulations
to implement the Animal Welfare Act.
The Office of Laboratory Animal
Welfare, OLAW, within the Office
of the Director of the NIH is
responsible for implementation
of the PHS policy, and requires
that institutions receiving funds
from the PHS adhere
to the recommendations
contained in the Guide for the
Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
The Association for the
Assessment and Accreditation
of Laboratory Animal
Care International
manages a voluntary, peer-reviewed
accreditation process
which uses the Guide as a
primary resource for establishing
requirements for accreditation.
