Dec 10, 2008· Comment from W. Ron DeHaven, American Veterinary Medical Association· APHIS-2006-0159-0056

December 9, 2008 Regulatory Analysis and Development PPD, APHIS Station 3A-03.8 4700 River Road Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238 Re Docket No. APHIS-2006-0159 To Whom It May Concern: I am writing on behalf of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), established in 1863, and the largest veterinary medical association in the world. As a not-for-profit association established to advance the science and art of veterinary medicine, AVMA is the recognized national voice for the veterinary profession. The association's more than 76,000 members represent approximately 86% of U.S. veterinarians, all of whom are involved in a myriad of areas of veterinary medical practice including private, corporate, academic, industrial, governmental, military, and public health services. USDA APHIS Animal Care is to be commended for its interest in amending the Animal Welfare Act regulations to add requirements for contingency planning and training of all licensees and registrants for all animals regulated under the Act. As you state, such planning and training would heighten awareness as well as provide knowledge and tools required for response in disaster situations. The AVMA supports the concept and continued development of an integrated animal emergency preparedness and response program at the national, state and local levels. We appreciate the efforts of the USDA APHIS Animal Care and look forward to future opportunities to provide our recommendations. Please feel free to contact Dr. Heather Case (800-248-2862 ext. 6632 or hcase@avma.org), should you need any additional information or explanation. Respectfully, W. Ron DeHaven, DVM, MBA Executive Vice President American Veterinary Medical Association
