• Description:
  The 2019 Annual Report of the Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) provides insight into the program’s regulatory activities and includes a look at compliance with the select agent regulations at laboratories across the nation. The findings underscore that overall, most laboratories registered with the program are compliant with the regulations, and none of the relatively small number of reported incidents during the year resulted in a risk to public or agricultural health. The report reflects the program’s continued commitment to increasing transparency.
  
  FSAP is managed jointly by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Select Agents and Toxins and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Agriculture Select Agent Services. The program regulates the possession, use, and transfer of biological select agents and toxins – which are materials that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public, animal or plant health, or to animal or plant products – so that important work with potentially dangerous and deadly pathogens can be conducted as safely and securely as possible.
