In the interest of security, NIH has instituted stringent
procedures for entrance onto the NIH campus. All visitor vehicles,
including taxicabs, hotel, and airport shuttles will be inspected
before being allowed on campus. Visitors will be asked to show one
form of identification (for example, a government-issued photo ID,
driver's license, or passport) and to state the purpose of their
visit.
Information is also available on the Institute's/Center's home
page: http://www4.od.nih.gov/oba/, where an agenda and any
additional information for the meeting will be posted when
available.
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 virtually every NIH and 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.
(Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance Program Nos. 93.14,
Intramural Research Training Award; 93.22, Clinical Research Loan
Repayment Program for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds;
93.232, Loan Repayment Program for Research Generally; 93.39,
Academic Research Enhancement Award; 93.936, NIH Acquired
