    (a) General. This subpart sets out requirements for determining 
donor eligibility, including donor screening and testing. The 
requirements contained in this subpart are a component of current good 
tissue practice (CGTP) requirements. Other CGTP requirements are set out 
in subpart D of this part.
    (b) Donor-eligibility determination required. A donor-eligibility 
determination, based on donor screening and testing for relevant 
communicable disease agents and diseases, is required for all donors of 
cells or tissue used in HCT/Ps, except as provided under Sec. 1271.90. 
In the case of an embryo or of cells derived from an embryo, a donor-
eligibility determination is required for both the oocyte donor and the 
semen donor.
    (c) Prohibition on use. An HCT/P must not be implanted, 
transplanted, infused, or transferred until the donor has been 
determined to be eligible, except as provided under Sec. Sec. 
1271.60(d), 1271.65(b), and 1271.90 of this subpart.
    (d) Applicability of requirements. If you are an establishment that 
performs any function described in this subpart, you must comply with 
the requirements contained in this subpart that are applicable to that 
function.
