Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee; Meeting
Pursuant to Public Law 92-463, notice is hereby given of a meeting
of the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee on March 3-4, 1994. The
meeting will be held at the National Institutes of Health, Building
31C, 6th Floor, Conference Room 6, 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda,
Maryland 20892, starting at approximately 9 a.m. on March 3, 1994, to
adjournment at approximately 5 p.m. on March 4, 1994. The meeting will
be open to the pubic to discuss Proposed Actions under the NIH
Guidelines for Research involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (51 FR
16958) and other matters to be considered by the Committee. The
proposed Actions to be discussed will follow this notice of meeting.
Attendance by the public will be limited to space available.
Members of the public wishing to speak at this meeting may be given
such opportunity at the discretion of the Chair.
Dr. Nelson A. Wivel, Director, Office of Recombinant DNA
Activities, National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room 4B11,
Bethesda, Maryland 20902, Phone (301) 496-9838, FAX (301) 496-9839,
will provide materials to be discussed at this meeting, roster of
committee members, and substantive program information. Individuals who
plan to attend and need special assistance, such as sign language
interpretation or other reasonable accommodations, should contact Dr.
Wivel in advance of the meeting. A summary of the meeting will be
available at a later date.
OMB's ``Mandatory Information Requirements for Federal Assistance
Program Announcements'' (45 FR 39592, June 11, 1980) requires a
statement concerning the official government programs contained in the
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. Normally NIH lists in its
announcements the number and title of affected individual programs for
the guidance of the public. Because the guidance in this notice covers
not only virtually every NIH program but also essentially every Federal
research program in which DNA recombinant molecule techniques could be
used, it has been determined not to be cost effective or in the public
interest to attempt to list these programs. Such a list would likely
require several additional pages. In addition, NIH could not be certain
that every Federal program would be included as many Federal agencies,
as well as private organizations, both national and international, have
elected to follow the NIH Guidelines. In lieu of the individual program
listing, NIH invites readers to direct questions to the information
address above about whether individual programs listed in the Catalog
of Federal Domestic Assistance are affected.
Dated: February 7, 1994.
Susan K. Feldman,
Committee Management Officer, NIH.
