Application for Laboratory Registration for Possession, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins

The APHIS/CDC Form 1, Application for Registration, is used by entities to register with APHIS or CDC. The Application for Registration requests facility information, a list of Select Agents or Toxins in use, possession, or for transfer by the entity, characterization of the Select Agents or Toxins, and laboratory information. Entities may also amend their registration if any changes occur in the information submitted to APHIS or CDC. To apply for an amendment to a certificate of registration, an entity must obtain the relevant portion of the APHIS/CDC Form 1, Application for Registration and submit the information requested in the package to APHIS or CDC.

An entity is required by regulation (42 CFR 73, 9 CFR 121, and 7 CFR 331) to register with either APHIS or CDC if they wish to use, possess, or transfer Select Agents or Toxins. An entity as defined by HHS/CDC and USDA/APHIS means any government agency (Federal, State, or local), university, corporation, company, partnership, society, association, firm, sole proprietorship, or other legal entity.
