The regulatory content is being amended to correct references that are made throughout the regulation regarding delegated authorities and activities of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). With the abolishment of NCRR in 2011, the Director, NIH, delegated these authorities to the Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP) within the Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI), NIH. The ORIP/DPCPSI now has the lead responsibility for coordinating all efforts on behalf of HHS concerning the sanctuary system for surplus chimpanzees from both federal and non-federal sources. The references to NCRR throughout the regulation are corrected to reflect ORIP/DPCPSI, the definition of National Primate Research Center is corrected to reflect the correct number of currently existing centers, and the office address provided for ORIP/DPCPSI in the regulation is corrected.
