From page 21...
... Unannounced inspections are made by federal employees to ensure compliance with the Act. The other major federal law governing animal research is the Health Research Extension Act of 1985, which transformed into law many of the provisions contained in the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
From page 22...
... Through the combination of the Animal Welfare Act and the Health Research Extension Act, virtually all animal researchers are now under the oversight of a local review committee known as an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. These committees always include a veterinarian experienced in laboratory animal care and at least one person not affiliated with the institution to represent the interests of the community.
