Forest Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Office of 
Agricultural Biotechnology, and the Agricultural Biotechnology Research 
Advisory Committee, the Administrators of CSREES and ARS shall determine 
and announce, through publication of a Notice in such publications as 
the Federal Register, professional trade journals, agency or program 
handbooks, the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, or any other 
appropriate means, specific areas of research for which preproposals or
