OLAW Closed due to Lapse in Federal Government Funding
The continuing resolution to fund many Federal government operations expired at midnight EDT on Monday, September
30, 2013. OLAW is now closed due to the lapse in Federal government funding. We are providing the following
information to answer questions you may have on the impact such a lapse in funding has on your Animal Welfare
Assurance and the availability of OLAW systems and services.
The following activities will be impacted until appropriations are enacted:
•
information on the OLAW website will not be updated;
•
OLAW news distributed via RSS feed, Twitter or LISTSERV will cease;
correspondence submitted via the OLAW e-mail addresses will not be processed;
•
correspondence sent via delivery services or courier will not be accepted;
•
correspondence sent via the US Postal Service will be delivered but will not be processed; and
•
OLAW will not be able to respond to inquiries via telephone, e-mail or fax.
•
For the duration of the funding lapse, PHS-Assured institutions are encouraged to delay sending all Assurance
documents, preliminary or final reports of noncompliance or IACUC suspensions as required under PHS Policy IV.F.3., or
other correspondence due to OLAW. OLAW will extend deadlines for all reporting activities as necessary to compensate
for the period of the lapse in funding.
Institutions are reminded that their obligation under their Animal Welfare Assurance to ensure ongoing local support and
oversight and to address and correct all situations that affect animal welfare and compliance with the PHS Policy
continues during this period.
