Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted

Proposed Project

    Possession, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins (42 CFR 
part 73)--Revision--Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/
Division of Select Agents and Toxins (DSAT) and United States 
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS)/Agriculture Select Agent Services (AgSAS).

Background and Brief Description

    Subtitle A of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism 
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, (42 U.S.C. 262a), requires the 
United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to regulate 
the possession, use, and transfer of biological agents or toxins that 
have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety 
(select agents and toxins). Subtitle B of the Public Health Security 
and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (which may be 
cited as the Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection Act of 2002), (7 
U.S.C. 8401), requires USDA to regulate the possession, use, and 
transfer of biological agents or toxins that have the potential to pose 
a severe threat to animal or plant health, or animal or plant products 
(select agents and toxins). The HHS Secretary delegated the 
responsibility for promulgating and implementing select agent 
regulations found at 42 CFR part 73 to CDC Division of Select Agents 
and Toxins (DSAT). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)/Agriculture Select 
Agent Services (AgSAS) was delegated responsibility by USDA for select 
agent regulations (7 CFR part 331, and 9 CFR part 121). The Federal 
Select Agent Program (FSAP) is the collaboration of the DSAT and AgSAS 
to administer the select agent regulations in a manner to minimize the 
administrative burden on persons subject to the select agent 
regulations. Accordingly, CDC and APHIS have adopted an identical 
system to collect information for the possession, use, and transfer of 
select agents and toxins.
    CDC is requesting OMB approval to revise the collected information 
under the select agent regulations through the use of the APHIS/CDC 
Form 3 (Incident Notification and Reporting (Theft/Loss/Release)). The 
form (42 CFR 73.19(a),(b)) must be completed by an individual or an 
entity whenever the individual or entity experiences a theft, loss, or 
release of a select agent or toxin. CDC is proposing to revise the form 
to further clarify what needs to be reported as a ``release'' and 
``loss'' and additional fields to assist with categorizing the type of 
release (e.g., spill within secondary containment, occupational 
exposure, possible breach of facility containment, etc.), type of 
exposure, and the understanding of safety and security risk levels 
relative to human illness. Guidance documents were also added to assist 
with the following forms: Application for Registration (APHIS/CDC Form 
1), Request to Transfer Select Agents and Toxins (APHIS/CDC Form 2), 
Report of Identification of a Select Agent or Toxin (APHIS/CDC Form 4), 
Request of Exemption of Select Agents and Request for Exclusions Toxins 
for an Investigational Product (APHIS/CDC Form 5), Request for 
Expedited Review, Security Plan, Security Plan, Biosafety Plan, Request 
Regarding a Restricted Experiment, Incident Response Plan, Training, 
and Records.
    Annualized burden hours and cost were calculated based on data 
obtained from 2016 Annual Report of the Federal Select Agent Program 
for submissions to FSAP for 2016. CDC requests a three year approval 
for this Revision. The estimated annualized Burden has been reduced to 
8,408 hours due to the decrease in the number of Respondents. There is 
no cost to Respondents other than their time.
