OLAW has extended reporting deadlines for all PHS-Assured institutions to compensate for the government shutdown period. Preliminary and final reports of noncompliance, reports of IACUC suspensions, and all other correspondence should be submitted to OLAW as soon as possible.

Federal institutions with an approved Domestic Assurance unable to conduct official IACUC business as scheduled due to the shutdown have a 30-day extension to complete such activities.
