Which of the following entities are required to release information per the Freedom of Information Act?
a. OLAW
b. AAALAC
c. IACUC
d. HSUS
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) only requires Federal agencies to make public, their documents and files either voluntarily or upon request. Also, the act has enumerated 9 categories of exempted records and informations which the agencies can choose to withhold from the public.
So, in the above list, only OLAW (Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare) and IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees) are required to release information per FOIA.
The AAALAC (Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International) and HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) does not come under the federal agency and are not required to release information per FOIA.
