Resumen
On October 3, 2011, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register (76 FR 61206) requesting public comment on the appropriateness of the current HHS and Overlap list of select agents and toxins including whether there are other agents or toxins that should be added to the HHS or Overlap list or whether agents or toxins currently on the HHS or Overlap list should be deleted from the list; the appropriateness of the proposed tiering of the select agents and toxins list; whether minimum standards for personnel reliability, physical and cyber security should be prescribed for identified Tier 1 agents; and any other aspect of the proposed amendments to the select agent regulations. The comment period closed on December 2, 2011. Since we would like to allow interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments, we are reopening the comment period for the NPRM.
