Myriad international, federal, and state laws, regulations, rules, guidelines, and standards directly affect the activities of all nonhuman primate research facilities. Federal regulations alone encompass every aspect of facility operations. They govern (a) the procurement, possession, handling, care, and utilization of nonhuman primates, (b) the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of the facility, and (c) the occupational and environmental protection afforded not only facility personnel, but also the general public. Proper management of a nonhuman primate facility depends on continual monitoring of constantly changing laws and regulations applicable to the type of facility operated and research conducted. An in‐house compliance assurance program is necessary to assure conformance with pertinent regulations.
