Title: ●Possessions, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins--Pandemic Influenza 
Abstract: The biological agents and toxins listed in section 73.3 of title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations have been determined by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety. On October 20, 2005, we published in the Federal Register an interim final rule adding the reconstructed replication competent forms of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus containing any portion of the coding regions of all eight gene segments to the list of HHS select agents and toxins. Based on public comments we received, we are proposing to revise the entry for the 1918 pandemic influenza virus from “reconstructed replication competent forms of the 1918 pandemic influenza virus containing any portion of the coding regions of all eight gene segments” to “Chimeric influenza viruses containing gene segments from the 1918 pandemic influenza strain.
