eFSAP Updates

The Federal Select Agent Program (FSAP) is pleased to announce the deployment of another update to the electronic Federal Select Agent Program information system (eFSAP).

Beginning May 30, 2024, eFSAP users will notice the following system updates:

• Simple Registration Withdrawal

• • eFSAP now has an additional amendment type: “Request Registration Withdrawal”
  • Upon approval of the amendment, eFSAP will automatically:
    • Withdraw all open technical amendments
    • “Terminate” all individuals from APHIS/CDC Form 1 Section 4
    • Update the status of all current work objectives to “removed”
    • Change the entity’s status to “withdrawn”
  • eFSAP will also upload an official registration withdrawal certification letter into the entity’s document library

• Automated Co-Principal Investigator (PI) removal
  • Upon removal of a PI from APHIS/CDC Form 1 Section 4, eFSAP automatically removes the PI from any work objective on which that PI is listed in conjunction with other PIs
    • This new feature prevents entity users from having to submit technical “Modify Approved Work Objective” amendments to remove a co-PI
