Background and Brief Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is requesting 
approval to continue data collection under the Select Agent 
Distribution Activity (SADA). The purpose of this data collection is to 
provide a systematic and consistent mechanism to review requests that 
come to CDC for Select Agents. The term select agents is used to 
describe a limited group of viruses, bacteria, rickettsia, and toxins 
that have the potential for use as agents of bioterrorism, inflicting 
significant morbidity and mortality on susceptible populations. The 
SADA form is scheduled to expire on 07/31/2014.
    SADA was originally created for the anticipated large number of 
requests for select agents by investigators seeking National Institutes 
of Health grants. The process was established to lessen the burden on 
CDC Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who would be receiving requests for 
access to select agents housed within NCEZID. The SADA application is a 
Material Transfer Agreement that is specific to select agent requests.
