Clarification of PHS Policy on Humane Care and Use of Animals Terry A. May 21 Jun 1996 11:57 EST

 Please pass this note to your respective IACUC's, etc.  We have
received a response to our annual report which indicates that OPRR is
interpreting the policy at IV.B.1. and 2. to require inspections and
reviews at intervals of less than 6 months rather than within a 6-month
period of time.  I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has dealt with
this issue and how it was resolved.
