    The Administrator may elect to use a portion of available funding 
each fiscal year to support an Annual Conference, the purpose of which 
will be to bring together scientists and regulatory officials relevant 
to this program. At the Annual Conference, the participants may offer 
individual opinions regarding research needs, update information and 
discuss progress, or may offer individual opinions on areas of risk 
assessment research appropriate to agricultural biotechnology. The 
annual program solicitation will indicate whether funds are available to 
support an Annual Conference and, if so, will include instructions on 
the preparation and submission of proposals requesting funds from the 
Department for support of an Annual Conference. The Department may also 
elect to require principal investigators whose research is funded under 
this program to attend an Annual Conference and to present data on the 
results of their research efforts. Should attendance at an Annual 
Conference be required, the annual program solicitation will so 
indicate, and principal investigators may include attendance costs in 
their proposed budgets.
    The Administrator may, with respect to any grant or to any class of 
awards, impose additional conditions prior to or at the time of any 
award when, in the Administrator's judgment, such conditions are 
necessary to ensure or protect advancement of the approved project, the 
interests of the public, or the conservation of grant funds.
