[Disputed Dominion] Congress set up a new agency to more closely regulate testing of personal and cosmetic products on animals. Legislation was passed naming the agency the "Animal Protection Commission," and setting forth the function of the agency and its specific powers. Congress provided the agency with the power to make rules, investigate violations, and adjudicate charges of wrongdoing. The agency proceeded to properly give notice and issue rules. The rules provided for civil as well as for criminal penalties. Agency personnel issued an order for ABC Co. to attend a hearing regarding its animal testing and to bring to the hearing all company documents pertaining to animal testing. ABC Co. resisted on the basis that the agency had no power to compel its attendance at a hearing or to require it to provide any documents. ABC Co. also claimed that agencies do not have the power to impose criminal penalties. The agency proceeded to issue a ruling that ABC Co. cease all activity based upon its refusal to cooperate.
