CDC Holding Webcast to Discuss Import Permit Requirements for Infectious Substances

The Centers for Disease Control will hold a webcast Dec. 4 to “address import permit regulations for infectious biological agents, infectious substances, and vectors,” it said in a notice. “This webcast is an opportunity for all interested parties (e.g., academic institutions; biomedical centers; commercial manufacturing facilities; federal, state, and local laboratories, including clinical and diagnostic laboratories; research facilities; exhibition facilities; and educational facilities) to obtain specific guidance and information regarding import permit regulations,” CDC said. Registration for the webcast will be available on the CDC website, and is required by Nov. 22.
