Abstract: CDC is requesting continued OMB approval to collect information through the use of five separate forms. These forms are: 1) Application for Registration, 2) Request to Transfer Select Agent or Toxin, 3) Report of Theft, Loss, or Release of Select Agent and Toxin, 4) Report of Identification of Select Agent or Toxin, and 5) Request for Exemption. The Application for Registration (42 CFR 73.7(d)) will be used by entities to register with CDC. The Application for Registration requests facility information; a list of select agents or toxins in use, possession, or for transfer by the entity; characterization of the select agent or toxin; and laboratory information. The Request to Transfer Select Agent or Toxin form (42 CFR 73.16) will be used by entities requesting transfer of a select agent or toxin to their facility. The Report of Theft, Loss, or Release of Select Agent and Toxin form (42 CFR 73.19(a)(b)) must be completed by entities whenever there is theft, loss, or release of a select agent or toxin. The Report of Identification of Select Agent or Toxin form 42 CFR 73.5(a)(b) and 73.6(a)(b)) will be used by clinical and diagnostic laboratories to notify CDC that select agents or toxins identified as the result of diagnostic or proficiency testing have been disposed of in a proper manner. In addition, the form will be used by Federal law enforcement agencies to report the seizure and final disposition of select agents and toxins. The Request for Exemption form (42 CFR 73.5 (d)(e) and 73.6 (d)(e)) will be used by entities that are using an investigational product that are, bear, or contain select agents or toxins or in cases of public health emergency. This change request is to update the fax number on Form 3.
