Select
agent regulations were revised in October 2012 to designate thirteen
"Tier 1" agents with a documented risk of causing a high consequence
event higher than other BSATs. Criteria for Tier 1 status were (1)
Ability to produce a mass casualty event or devastating effects to the
economy; (2) Communicability; (3) Low infectious dose; and (4) History
of or current interest in weaponization based on threat reporting. In
the same revision Chapare virus, Lujo virus, and SARS-associated
coronavirus (SARS-CoV) were added to the list of select agents.

U.S. government names SARS a select agent, restricting labs that work on virus
This refers to reconstructed, replication-competent forms of the 1918 flu pandemic virus containing any portion of the coding regions of all eight gene segments.
- Criteria
for removal from the BSAT list were (1) Low potential for causing
mortality; (2) Endemicity in the U.S. (animal agents); and (3)
Difficulty in producing quantities necessary for high consequence event.
