The CDC Select Agent Program does not release site-specific or identifying information associated with 42 C.F.R. Part 73 to the public. It is up to each entity to determine if they should release such information. However, we recommend that security considerations should be taken into account as part of that decision. State entities may wish to consult with their state Attorney General with regards to release of any information. Other entities may wish to consult with their legal counsel.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is required to regulate the possession of biological agents and toxins that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety. CDC's Select Agent Program oversees these activities. The Select Agent Program currently requires registration of facilities including government agencies, universities, research institutions, and commercial entities.
