Abstract
The HHS/CDC's Division of Select Agents and Toxins (DSAT) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)'s Division of Agricultural Select Agents and Toxins (DASAT) are jointly charged with the regulation of the possession, use and transfer of biological agents and toxins that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public, animal or plant health or to animal or plant products (select agents and toxins). This joint effort constitutes the Federal Select Agent Program. Due to the continuing pandemic and concerns for the safety of our workshop attendees and employees, DSAT replaced in-person workshops with webinars. The purpose of the webinars is to provide guidance on completing APHIS/CDC Form 2 (Request to Transfer Select Agents and Toxins), APHIS/CDC Form 3 (Report of a Release/Loss/Theft), and APHIS/ CDC Form 4 (Reporting the Identification of a Select Agent or Toxin) (APHIS/CDC Forms 2-4) for interested individuals. Two sessions covering the same agenda will be held to provide two opportunities for interested individuals to participate.
