facility inspections, and tracking of

select agent transfers. CDC will manage

the program by collecting the site

registration fees and tracking program

costs, providing oversight of contractor

activities, reviewing applications before

laboratories are registered, reviewing

questionable select agent transfers,

acting as liaison with federal, state, and

local agencies, and inspecting BSL 4

facilities. The contractor will be

responsible for providing application

materials to facilities, reviewing

completed applications for registration,

making recommendations to CDC

regarding those registrations, inspecting

all BSL 3 facilities, tracking select agent

transfers, and maintaining data and

information systems related to the

program. Cost estimates for contractor activities

have been prepared using estimates of

labor categories, labor hours, travel

costs, and contractor overhead . Labor

categories and hours include the

following: Project Manager/Sr.

Microbiologist—2080 hours per year;

Microbiologist, Mid-level—2080 hours

per year; Technical Writer—200 hours

per year; General Clerks—4160 hours

per year; Computer Systems Analyst—

200 hours per year; Computer

Programmer—400 hours per year;

Laboratory Inspector—1000 hours per

year. In addition, the Government will

provide a Project Officer,

Microbiologist, Chemist/Biosafety

expert, Technical Information

Specialist, Clerk, Laboratory Inspector,

and Administrative Officer to work on

this program for various numbers of

hours throughout the years. Labor rates were calculated using the

Government General Schedule (GS)

equivalent, step 5 with Atlanta area

locality pay. Fringe benefits were

calculated based upon an average for

this type of service industry. Contractor

overhead and profit were estimated

based upon industry averages. The

Government estimates that the travel

costs associated with Inspection of

facilities will be approximately $70,000

per year. The Government will incur additional

costs associated with Government

inspection of BSL 4 laboratories and

close monitoring of transfers of BSL 4

select agents. The fee schedule is then calculated by

adding the hourly labor costs for

contractor and agency employees, plus

travel costs and overhead, and dividing

by the estimated number of small,

medium, and large facilities,

respectively.

Clarification of Toxin Exemptions

The conditions under which transfers

of toxins will be exempt are as stated in

42 CFR 72.6, Appendix A: ‘‘Toxins for

medical use, inactivated for use as

vaccines, or toxin preparations for

biomedical research use at an LD50 for

vertebrates of more than 100 nanograms

per kilogram body weight are exempt.’’

42 CFR 72.6(h)(1)(ii) should also be

interpreted consistently with this

definition.

The LD50 values to be used under this

regulation are those for mice dosed by

the intraperitoneal route. These values

may be found in the Registry of Toxic

Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) (produced by the National

Institute for Occupational Safety and

Health), 1996 or later version. A list of

LD50 values may be obtained from CDC

(fax request to 404–639–3236).

Biosafety Levels of Certain Viruses

As indicated in the regulation, the

biosafety levels for handling the select

agents are listed in the CDC/NIH

Biosafety in Microbiological and

Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), 3rd

edition. The biosafety levels for

morbillivirus and Sabia virus, two

newly discovered viruses are not

included in the BMBL. The biosafety

level for Equine morbillivirus is BSL 4,

and for Sabia virus is BSL 4. The correct

BSL for Junin virus is BSL 3, as is stated

on page 134 of the BMBL. The use of

BSL 4 for Junin virus as listed on page

137 of the BMBL is incorrect.

CDC will mail applications for

registration of facilities under this

regulation to all facilities that express an

interest. Questions about this notice and

requests for application packages should

be faxed to CDC, Office of Health and

Safety (404–639–3236).
