SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and public 

comments received will be addressed in 

a subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this action 

should do so at this time. Please note 

that if EPA receives adverse comment 

on an amendment, paragraph, or section 

of this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. For additional 

information, see the direct final rule 

which is located in the Rules section of

rulemaking. 

In addition, HHS/CDC invites

based on the following criteria, or any 

other appropriate criteria:

exposure to the agent or toxin; 

(2) The degree of contagiousness of 

the agent or toxin and the methods by 

which the agent or toxin is transferred 

to humans; and 

(3) The availability and effectiveness 

of pharmacotherapies and 

immunizations to treat and prevent any 

illness resulting from infection by the 

agent or exposure to the toxin. 

(4) The needs of children and other 

vulnerable populations.

you consider confidential or 

inappropriate for public disclosure. 

HHS/CDC will carefully consider all 

comments submitted in preparation of a 

proposed final rule. 

II. Background 

The Bioterrorism Response Act 

requires the HHS Secretary to establish 

by regulation a list of biological agents 

and toxins that have the potential to 

pose a severe threat to public health and 

safety. In determining whether to 

include an agent or toxin on the list, the 

HHS Secretary considers criteria such as 

the effect on human health of exposure 

to an agent or toxin; the degree of 

contagiousness of the agent and the 

methods by which the agent or toxin is 

transferred to humans; the availability 

and effectiveness of pharmacotherapies 

and immunizations to treat and prevent 

illnesses resulting from an agent or 

toxin; and the needs of children and 

other vulnerable populations. The 

current list of HHS select agents and 

toxins can be found at 42 CFR 73.3 

(HHS select agents and toxins) and 42 

CFR 73.4 (Overlap select agents and 

toxins). The list of HHS and Overlap
