APHIS/CDC Form 1 - Application for Laboratory Registration for Possession, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins

Description

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.

Directions

If you are applying for a certificate of registration, please complete sections 1 - 4. Section 5 should be completed for each principal investigator and each laboratory at the entity. Section 6 should be completed for each ABSL4 / BSL4 laboratory and/or each principal investigator working with toxins.

If you are amending a certification of registration, the RO or his or her alternate RO are also responsible for notifying APHIS or CDC of any changes to the registration, such as modifications to authorized laboratory personnel, changes in currently registered laboratories, additional new laboratories that require registration, or any other changes to the information provided in this application. Prior to any change, the RO must apply for an amendment to a certificate of registration by submitting the relevant page(s) of the registration application and forwarding it to APHIS or CDC for approval.
