Listing of Biological Agents and Toxins and Requirements and Procedures for Notification of Possession; Technical Amendment AGENCY: Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA. ACTION: Interim rule; technical amendment. SUMMARY: In an interim rule published in the **Federal Register** and effective on August 12, 2002, we established regulations that listed biological agents and toxins determined to have the potential to pose a severe threat to animal or plant health, or to animal or plant products, and that required all persons in possession of any listed biological agent or toxin to notify the Secretary of such possession.
The definitions provided in those regulations for the terms ‘biological agent” and “toxin” did not reflect the amendments made by the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 to the definitions of those terms in section 178 of title 18, United States Code. Therefore, we are amending the regulations so that the definitions will be consistent. EFFECTIVE DATE: August 12, 2002. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information concerning the regulations in 7 CFR part 331, contact Dr.
Arnold T. Tschanz, Senior Staff Officer, Regulatory Coordination, Plant Health Programs, PPQ, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 141, Riverdale, MD 20737-1236,
(301)734-8790. For information concerning the regulations in 9 CFR part 121, contact Dr. Denise Spencer, Senior Staff Veterinarian, Technical Trade Services, National Center for Import and Export, VS, APHIS, 4700 River Road Unit 40, Riverdale, MD 20737-1231,
(301)734-3277. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In an interim rule published in the **Federal Register** and effective on August 12, 2002 (67 FR 52383-52389, Docket No. 02-082-1), we established regulations in 7 CFR part 331 and 9 CFR part 121 that listed biological agents and toxins determined to have the potential to pose a severe threat to animal or plant health, or to animal or plant products, and that required all persons in possession of any listed biological agent or toxin to notify the Secretary of such possession. The interim rule was published in accordance with the requirements of section 212 of subtitle B (Department of Agriculture), title II (Enhancing Controls on Dangerous Biological Agents and Toxins), of the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-188). In subtitle B, section 212(l) provides that “[t]he terms 'biological agent' and ‘toxin' have the meanings given such terms in section 178 of title 18, United States Code.” Thus, we referred to 18 U.S.C. 178 when preparing the definitions for those terms we included in the “Definitions” sections of both 7 CFR part 331 and 9 CFR part 121 (§§ 331.1 and 121.1, respectively). We failed to note, however, that elsewhere in title II of Public Law 107-188 (section 231 of subtitle D, “Criminal Penalties Regarding Certain Biological Agents and Toxins,” specifically), the definitions of “biological agent” and “toxin” in 18 U.S.C. 178 had been amended. Therefore, in this document, we are amending 7 CFR 331.1 and 9 CFR 121.1 as established by our August 12, 2002, interim rule so that the definitions provided in those sections for the terms “biological agent” and “toxin” are consistent with the definitions for those terms in 18 U.S.C. 178, as amended by Public Law 107-188. List of Subjects 7 CFR Part 331 Agricultural research, Laboratories, Plant diseases and pests, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 9 CFR Part 121 Agricultural research, Animal diseases, Laboratories, Medical research, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Accordingly, we are amending 7 CFR part 331 and 9 CFR part 121 as follows: PART 331—POSSESSION OF BIOLOGICAL AGENTS AND TOXINS 1. The authority citation for part 331 continues to read as follows: Authority: Secs. 211-213, Title II, Pub. L. 107-188, 116 Stat. 647 (7 U.S.C. 8401). 2.

(2)Deterioration of food, water, equipment, supplies, or material of any kind; or
(3)Deleterious alteration of the environment. *Toxin.* The toxic material or product of plants, animals, microorganisms (including, but not limited to, bacteria, viruses, fungi, rickettsiae, or protozoa), or infectious substances, or a recombinant or synthesized molecule, whatever their origin and method of production, and includes:
