• Description:
  The Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) routinely identifies biosafety and security concerns in laboratories through the inspection process, after which an entity must address these concerns. However, when particularly serious deficiencies in biosafety or security measures are identified – or in an instance of a theft, loss, or release – FSAP can take additional actions to address the risk and bring the entity back into compliance with the select agent regulations.
