Abstract: Records are used in enforcement of the AWA. Data are to ensure exhibitors, research facilities, carriers, etc., are in compliance with the Act and regulations and standards promulgated under this authority of the Act. Current regulations define the minimum space requirements for marine mammal enclosures, but there is no requirement to maintain documentation either at the facility or by APHIS. Accurate information on the size of currently existing enclosures is needed to guide the development of any new regulations and standards for space requirements. The one-time survey will be used to collect this information.
