DEA Controlled Substance Program
21CFR 1300-21CFR 1308 As specified in 21 CFR Parts 1300-1308, researchers in possession of substances listed in the DEA Controlled Substance list must obtain registration through DEA. Internal UO policy requires researchers possess their own registration.

Medical Waste Tracking Act 42 U.S.C. § 6992
40 CFR Parts 22 and 259 If the University is a generator of medical (biological) waste it must track it from "cradle to grave" and make all records available to the Environmental Protection Agency upon request. Medical waste includes but is not limited to: Cultures of infectious agents, discarded vaccines, tissues, organs, body parts, blood products, sharps, soiled dressings and surgical gloves, etc. University of Oregon, all operations Hazardous Waste Technician
NIH Publication Applicable to any institution that receives federal funding. Mandates establishment of Institutional Biosafety Committee for reviewing and approving work involving recombinant materials, transgenic animals/insects, and synthetic DNA. Requirement for reporting exposures meeting certain criteria immediately to NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities. UO's IBC includes registration and review of some biological work outside this scope (select agents, BSL-2 and higher, dual use research of concern, etc). http://osp.od.nih.gov/office-biotechnology-activities/biosafety/nih-guidelines University of Oregon, all operations Biosafety Officer

42 U.S.C. §§ 6901-6992k Gives the EPA authority to control hazardous waste – generation, transportation, treatment, storage and disposal.If the University is a hazardous waste generator it must:Certify there is a program in place to reduce quantity and toxicity of waste to the degree economically practicable;Establish record-keeping practices for waste generated; 3. Use appropriate containers and labeling practices for storage, transport or disposal, and use a manifest system.If the university is a small quantity generator, it must provide to the EPA every year setting out quantities and nature of waste generated, how disposed, efforts to reduce volume and toxicity, and changes in volume and toxicity achieved.Underground Storage Tank training must be conducted every 7 years.
