Comment 1: NO, DO NOT ADOPT THE EIGHTH EDITION OF THE GUIDE FOR THE CARE AND USE OF LABORATORY ANIMALS. This guide imposes unnecessary regulations that will hinder research, not improve it. the increased paperwork and expense are prohibitive and sufficient safeguards on the care and use of lab animals are in place. Comment 2: OLAW should require institutional compliance with the new Guide no sooner than March 2015 to allow for the collection of relevant data. It is the data that should guide policy decisions.
