2.126(b) (Non-Critical) – Access and inspection of records and property; submission of itineraries.
A responsible adult was not available to accompany APHIS Officials during the inspection process at 12:15 pm on 9/29/2025. The inspector spoke to Licensee via telephone. Usually he is able to leave work to accommodate inspection, but is unable today due to being short staffed. Failure to provide access to the facility, animals, and records for inspection is a serious violation of the AWA and regulations. Failure to comply may result in enforcement action. End Section
