摘要

At the APS Public Policy Board reporting session, Sue Tolin reviewed the permitting process for movement of plant pathogens and new issues that have arisen since September 11, 2001, as well as PPB activities to monitor these issues. The Agricultural Bioterrorism Protection Act (ABPA) of 2002 established a "select agent" list, required registration of these agents and notification of possession, specified biosafe-ty/containment requirements for "select agents," and created severe penalties for noncompliance. One interpretation of the ABPA was that all select agents would require BL3-Ag containment. Because plant pathogens were not specifically excluded, application of this stringency even to select agents was viewed by APS members as inappropriate and unnecessarily costly. Additional concerns of plant pathologists regarding the select agent rules included unintended negative consequences, such as loss of microbial pathogen collections, fewer repositories of reference cultures, and loss of research programs and historical records. Overall heightened security in nonfederal institutions funded by USDA was recommended by an Office of Inspector General (OIG) audit report issued in September 2003. APHIS, in response to a separate OIG audit of permittingprocesses and in fulfillment of their responsibilities under the 2000 Plant Protection Act, has increased enforcement of labeling of foreign shipments to route through a PPQ inspection station, added a rule that foreign permit material can only be sent to the United States by bonded carriers, and added a signoff by permit recipients for compliance with all permit conditions and responsible safeguard of organisms for the duration of the permit.
