Cite as Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1730-04-.07
(1)
Upon receipt of a completed application packet and fees an on-site inspection will be sched-
uled by a premises inspector. The inspection will include the physical location where the eu-
thanasia and/or pre-euthanasia solutions will be stored and administered, and a review of the
paperwork requirements with the responsible person of the entity and/or the C.A.E.T.(s).
(a)
The euthanasia room shall be enclosed and in a separate location from other animals
temporarily housed on the premises.
(b)
Cages, pens, and stalls are to be kept in a clean and orderly condition, in a well-lighted
area, and in good repair to prevent injury to animals and to promote physical comfort.
(c)
Small animals housed outside must have adequate shelter and bedding if the tempera-
ture drops below fifty degrees (50°) Fahrenheit and sufficient cooling or shade if the
temperature rises above eighty-five degrees (85°) Fahrenheit.
(2)
The premises inspector will provide the Board with a report of compliance or describing areas
of non-compliance.
(3)
If in compliance the Board will issue a compliance certificate which allows the entity to apply to
the D.E.A. for a restricted controlled substance registration certificate. The D.E.A. certificate
allows the C.A.C.A. to purchase, possess and use sodium pentobarbital to be administered
by a C.A.E.T. employed by the entity.
(4)
Inspection of C.A.C.A.’s will be conducted at least every two (2) years or as determined by the
Board.
