The following are considered to be select agents and toxins:

-   Nucleic acids that can produce infectious forms of any of the
    viruses.

-   Recombinant nucleic acids that encode for the functional forms of
    any toxin if the nucleic acids: (1) Can be expressed *in vivo* or
    *in vitro*; or (2) are in a vector or recombinant host genome and
    can be expressed *in vivo* or *in vitro*; and

-   Select agents and toxins that have been genetically modified.

**Exemptions:**

-   The toxins that are marked with amounts are exempt if the aggregate
    amount under the control of a principal investigator does not, at
    any time, exceed the amount listed.

The following agents or toxins are also exempt:

-   Any agent or toxin that is in its naturally occurring environment
    provided it has not been intentionally introduced, cultivated,
    collected, or otherwise extracted from its natural source (exclusion
    does [not]{.underline} apply to plant pathogens listed within Title
    7 CFR Part 331 or Botulinum neurotoxin producing strains of
    Clostridium)

-   Non-viable select agent organisms or nonfunctional toxins.

The following attenuated strains are exempt if used in basic or applied
research, as positive controls, for diagnostic assay development, or the
development of vaccines and therapeutics:

-   Bacillus anthracis strains devoid of both plasmids pX01 and pX02.
    Bacillus anthracis strains devoid of the plasmid pX02 (e.g.,
    Bacillus anthracis Sterne, pX01+pX02-).

-   Brucella abortus strain RB51 (vaccine strain). Brucella abortus
    Strain 19.

    Francisella novicida) strain, Utah 112 (ATCC 15482). Francisella
    tularensis subspecies holartica LVS (live vaccine strain; includes
    NDBR 101lots, TSI-GSD lots, and ATCC 29684). Francisella tularensis
    ATCC 6223 (also known as strain B38).

-   Conotoxins specifically excluded are: the class of sodium channel
    antagonist μ-conotoxins, including GIIIA; the class of calcium
    channel antagonist ω-conotoxins, including GVIA, GVII, MVIIA, MVIIC,
    and their analogs or synthetic derivatives; the class of
    NMDA-antagonist conantokins, including con-G, con-R, con-T and their
    analogs or synthetic derivatives; and the putative neurotensin
    agonist, contulakin-G and its synthetic derivatives.

-   Junin virus vaccine strain Candid 1.

-   Yersinia pestis strains which are Pgm^-^ due to a deletion of a
    102-kb region of the chromosome termed the pgm locus (i.e., ∆pgm).
    Examples are Y. pestis strain E.V. or various substrains such as
    EV 76. Yersinia pestis strains (e.g., Tjiwidej S and CDC A1122)
    devoid of the 75 kb low-calcium response (Lcr) virulence plasmid.
