Food Inspection

The Food and Drug Administration would be unable to support the majority of its food safety activities, including routine establishment inspections and monitoring imports, according to the U.S. Department of Health�s contingency plan.

Outbreak Detection

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would have to reduce its operations, the Department of Health�s plan also says.

The CDC would only have �a significantly reduced capacity to respond to outbreak investigations, processing of laboratory samples, and maintaining the agency�s 24/7 emergency operations,� the plan warns.

Medical research at the National Institutes of Health would stop but staff would remain to tend 1.3 million lab mice, 63,000 rats and 3,900 monkeys. �Many of these animals are priceless and have taken generations to breed,� the plan says.

Defence and law enforcement

The U.S. military�s 1.4 million active personnel will remain on duty, as will agents from the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The Office of the Pardon Attorney will shut down but �if an inmate facing execution in a capital case filed an application for commutation of sentence and appropriations lapsed, it is possible that some OPA employees would [return to work] temporarily,� says the Department of Justice�s contingency plan.

Astronauts in orbit

Most of NASA�s 18,250 personnel will be furloughed, save for about 550 people who deal with operations aboard the International Space Station and ongoing satellite missions. �If a satellite mission has not yet been launched, work will generally cease,� the space agency says in its shutdown plan.
