How does a RO terminate an individuals access to select agents and toxins?
Section 10(j) of the Select Agent Regulations (42 CFR part 73, 7 CFR part 331, and 9 CFR part 121) requires that the RO immediately notify APHIS or CDC when an entity has terminated an individual’s access to select agents or toxins. The notification must include the reason for termination of access. Notification should be submitted in writing via mail, fax, or email to APHIS or CDC. When terminating an individual’s access to select agents or toxins, it is critical that the RO takes steps to ensure that the individual no longer has the ability to access select agents or toxins. This may include retrieving keys, changing locks, disabling passwords, or disabling cardkeys.
