    (a) General. You must establish and maintain procedures appropriate 
to meet core CGTP requirements for all steps that you perform in the

circumstances that increase the risk of the introduction, transmission, 
or spread of communicable diseases through the use of HCT/Ps.
    (b) Review and approval. Before implementation, a responsible person 
must review and approve these procedures.
    (c) Availability. These procedures must be readily available to the 
personnel in the area where the operations to which they relate are 
performed, or in a nearby area if such availability is impractical.
    (d) Standard procedures. If you adopt current standard procedures 
from another organization, you must verify that the procedures meet the 
requirements of this part and are appropriate for your operations.
