3-F02 National Institutes of Health (NIH) Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules

IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS
59 FR 34472 and amendments

PURPOSE
To detail safety practices and containment procedures for basic and clinical research involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, including the creation and use of organisms and viruses containing recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules

SUMMARY
Regulations establish four biosafety levels (BSLs) or levels of physical containment for classifying recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid research, depending on the risk posed by the etiological agents to be used in the proposed research. Compliance with these biosafety levels consists of implementing combinations of laboratory practices, safety equipment, and laboratory facilities appropriate for the operations performed and the hazards posed by any proposed recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid research. Agents assigned to biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) require the most stringent containment conditions. Those assigned to BSL-1 require the least stringent.

The regulations describe the guidelines for classifying recombinant and synthetic nucleic acid experiments and their review procedures, and the membership requirements, functions and responsibilities of the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), which reviews proposed recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid research.

The regulations require the institution to appoint a Biological Safety Officer (BSO) if it is engaged in recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid research at the BSL-3 or BSL-4 containment level. The officer shall be a member of their campus's Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC).

The duties of the BSO are described in the NIH Guidelines. They also describe the responsibilities of Principal Investigators for compliance with the Guidelines and as well as the responsibilities of NIH.

APPLICABILITY
Regulations are required for institutions receiving NIH funds for recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid research and are voluntary for others.

3-F04 Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, Federal Controlled Substances Act (21 USC 801 et seq.)

IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS
21 CFR Chapter II

PURPOSE
To provide increased research into and prevention of drug abuse and dependence, treatment, and rehabilitation. To strengthen existing law enforcement authority in the drug abuse field and to consolidate all federal marijuana, narcotics and dangerous drug laws.

This Act is designed to control the legitimate drug industry as well as to curtail the importation and distribution of illicit drugs throughout the United States.

SUMMARY
This Act provides funds for rehabilitation programs and research. The regulations set up controls, enforcement, penalties, and administration. They establish the schedules of controlled substances, restrictions, and registration classifications for their use.

Schedules of Controlled Substances - Section 202
The Act establishes five schedules of controlled substances, which classifies drugs and narcotics based on the substance's medical use, potential for abuse and safety or dependence liability, and places restrictions on obtaining and handling them. Schedule I lists those substances with the highest abuse potential and Schedule V lists those with the lowest potential. A listing of the specific items in each schedule is published annually by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in 21 CFR §§1308.11 through 1308.15. Further details about the Schedules are given in Appendix A of Business and Finance Bulletin BUS-50.

DEA Registration Classifications
The Federal Controlled Substances Act requires institutions or individuals to register with the DEA to legally obtain and use controlled substances. The DEA classifies registrations based on the business activity (e.g., manufacturing, research, teaching, etc.) an applicant requires controlled substances for (21 CFR §1301.13). The registration classification determines which schedule(s) of drugs the applicant may obtain and use. Application for the use of any scheduled substances must be in the specific registration classifications which apply to that institution.

APPLICABILITY
Any use of scheduled substances.

LEAD AGENCY
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

UNIVERSITY RESPONSIBILITY
Materiel Management must submit applications to the DEA for use of any controlled substances (Schedules I through V). These applications use the specific registration classifications which apply to the University. They are:

  1. Teaching Institution using Schedules II through V
  2. Hospital/Clinic using Schedules II through V
  3. Research in Schedule II through V
  4. Research in Schedule I
  5. Chemical Analysis distinct from research
  6. Manufacturing

Each campus Materiel Management or Laboratory Purchasing Office registers its campus with the DEA for the classifications which apply to its needs (see Section 3-610). Once a campus or laboratory is registered in a classification, it can acquire controlled substances from Schedules II through V for use in that classification. Materiel Management must control the acquisition and distribution of scheduled substances.

A separate registration is required for each research project using Schedule I controlled substances. The Principal Investigator initiates this application, which includes a description of the research protocol, and submits it to Materiel Management (see Business and Finance Bulletin BUS-50 for further detail).

Clean Water Act Amendments (1977 - PL 95-217; 1987 - PL 100-4)
Clean Air Act Amendments (1970 - PL 91-604; 1977 - PL 95-95; 1990 - PL 101-549)

IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS
40 CFR Part 25

Executive Order 11738, "Providing for Administration of the Clean Air Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act with Respect to Federal Contracts, Grants, or Loans" (E.O. 11738 - 38 FR 25161, September 12, 1973)

PURPOSE
The Clean Water Act (Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972) calls for restoration and maintenance of the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation's waters.

The Clean Air Act's purpose is to protect and enhance the quality of air resources to promote health and welfare. It initiates research and development on prevention and control of air pollution.

E.O. 11738 assures that each federal agency which awards grants, contracts or loans undertakes procurements and assistance activities in a manner that will result in effective enforcement of the Clean Air and Water Acts, by implementing Section 306 of the Air Act and 508 of the Water Act (see below).

SUMMARY
The Water Act covers the elimination of discharge of pollutants, protects fish and wildlife, prohibits toxic pollutants, and assists in the construction of water treatment plants and development of research and technology.

The Clean Air Act authorizes activities of research and development programs, proposes ambient air standards, and sets forth pollution enforcement procedures. States are required to maintain standards of air quality.

Section 306 of the Clean Air Act and 508 of the Clean Water Act are virtually identical in scope and impact. Each section provides general environmental standards and administrative requirements for federal contracts and grants that are subject to the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts. Regulations issued pursuant to these sections by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are set forth in a detailed code of enforcement and compliance standards. These regulations may be found at 40 CFR Part 25.

Under the EPA regulations, sanctions may be imposed upon offending facilities when they fail to comply with federal and state requirements and orders issued pursuant to the Acts. In such cases, EPA may initiate hearing procedures which may result in the placement of the facility on a "list of violating facilities". The consequence of such action is that listed facilities may not be awarded future grants or receive extensions of existing grants. In addition, existing grants may be terminated.

Grants, subgrants, and contracts issued by grantees for less than $100,000 are exempted from the Acts. Additionally, grants used to assist facilities in their compliance with environmental requirements are exempted. These exemptions do not apply to facilities whose prior violations of environmental requirements have resulted in criminal convictions under either of the above cited Acts.

APPLICABILITY
Section 306 of the Clean Air Act and Section 508 of the Clean Water Act specifically apply to federal contracts, grants, loans, and subcontracts greater than $100,000. Other sections of these Acts apply to all activities engaged in, supported, funded, licensed, permitted, or approved by any federal department or agency.
