SELECT AGENT AND TOXINS REGULATIONS

 

Please select ONE category that applies:

 



 

A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

o                 The Materials are select agents or toxins subject to transfer procedures. UMass Dartmouth and Company must complete APHIS/CDC Form 2. 1 certify that Company is an entity registered with the CDC or APHIS.

 

o                 The Materials are select agents or toxins, but the amount to be transferred qualifies for the exempt quantities exemption. I certify that, upon Company’s receipt of the Materials, the Materials will be under the control of a principal investigator, treating physician or veterinarian, or commercial manufacturer or distributor and that the aggregate amount of Materials in the Company’s inventory (including any materials already in his/her possession prior to this shipment) shall at no time exceed [botulinum toxin 0.5 mg] [clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin 100 mg].

 

o                 The Materials are not select agents or toxins because they comprise rDNA derived non-toxic subunits recognized by the CDC as being non-toxic under an exemption issued to UMass Dartmouth.

 

EXPORT CONTROL REGULATIONS

 

I acknowledge that the Materials are subject to Department of Commerce export controls described in the Commerce Control List under ECCN 1C351.

I certify that the Materials will not be used for any purpose connected with chemical or biological weapons and the Materials will not be re-exported or otherwise re-sold or transferred if it is known or suspected that they will be used in the design, development, production, stockpiling, or use of chemical or biological weapons.
