of certain biological agents and toxins by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (subtitle A, sections 201–204) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA) (subtitle B, sections 211–213), and provides for interagency coordination between the two Departments regarding overlap agents and toxins (subtitle C, section 221). For the HHS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been designated as the agency with primary responsibility for implementing the provisions of the Act; the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is the agency fulfilling that role for the USDA. CDC and APHIS list select agents and toxins in 42 CFR 73.3 and in 7 CFR 331.3 and 9 CFR 121.3, respectively. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Criminal Justice Information Service (CJIS) conducts security risk assessments of all individuals and nongovernmental entities that request to possess, use, or transfer select agents and toxins.

The meeting announced here is an opportunity for the regulated community (i.e., registered entity responsible officials, alternate responsible officials, and entity owners) and other interested individuals to obtain specific regulatory guidance and information on standards concerning biosafety and biosecurity issues related to the Federal Select Agent Program. CDC, APHIS, and CJIS representatives will be present at the meeting to address questions and concerns.

Updates on the current status of the APHIS and CDC proposed rule, general components of a personnel reliability program, pre-employment background screening, occupational health programs, BSL4 surety programs, and future responsible official training will be discussed, including panel discussions, by representatives from the Department of Homeland Security, CJIS, APHIS, CDC, and National Institutes of Health.

All attendees must register in advance. To register all persons must complete an online registration form at http://www.selectagents.gov and submit it by October 14, 2011. For those unable to attend in person, the workshop will be available over the Internet as a webcast.
