U.S. Code as of:
01/03/05
Section 2140. Recordkeeping by dealers, exhibitors, research facilities, intermediate handlers, and carriers
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.
