SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

There has been increasing interest in 

the concept that environmental 

chemicals may be contributing factors to 

the epidemics of diabetes and obesity. 

The NTP is holding a workshop to 

evaluate the science associating 

exposure to certain chemicals or 

chemical classes with the development 

of diabetes and obesity in humans. The 

workshop’s overall goals are to: 

• Evaluate strengths/weaknesses, 

consistency, and biological plausibility 

of findings reported in humans and 

experimental animals for certain 

environmental chemicals including 

arsenic, cadmium, chlorinated 

organohalogens, other organohalogens, 

bisphenol A, phthalates, and organotins. 

• Identify the most useful and 

relevant endpoints in experimental 

animals and in vitro models. 

• Identify relevant pathways and 

biological targets for assays for the 

Toxicology Testing in the 21st Century 

(‘‘Tox21’’) high throughput screening 

initiative. 

• Identify data gaps and areas for 

future evaluation/research. 

The workshop will include plenary 

sessions and breakout group sessions for 

in-depth discussion. This meeting is 

open to the public with time set aside 

for public comments during the plenary 

session on the first day. The public is 

invited to attend the breakout groups as 

observers. Please note that registration 

for physical attendance at the meeting is 

closed because the capacity to 

accommodate participants has been

Background Information on CERHR 

The NTP and the National Institute of 

Environmental Health Sciences 

established the NTP Center for the 

Evaluation of Risks to Human 

Reproduction (CERHR) in 1998 (63 FR 

68782) to serve as an environmental 

health resource to the public and to 

regulatory and health agencies. CERHR 

evaluations assess the evidence whether 

environmental chemicals, physical 

substances, or mixtures (collectively 

referred to as ‘‘substances’’) cause 

adverse effects on reproduction and 

development and provide opinion on 

whether these substances are hazardous 

for humans. CERHR also organizes 

workshops or state-of-the-science 

evaluations to address issues of 

importance in environmental health

(NSABB), an advisory committee to the 

Federal Government, is hosting a public 

consultation to obtain input from the 

scientific community and general public 

regarding strategies for enhancing 

personnel reliability and strengthening 

the culture of responsibility at facilities 

that conduct research with dangerous 

pathogens. The discussion will inform 

NSABB deliberations and ultimately the 

development of an NSABB report on the 

topic. 

DATE AND TIME: The one day public 

consultation will be held on January 5, 

2011 from 8:30 a.m.–6 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The public meeting will be 

held at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency,

at 301–496–9839. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In light of heightened concerns about 

insider threats at facilities that conduct 

research with highly pathogenic agents, 

the NSABB was tasked with advising on 

ways to enhance personnel reliability 

among individuals with access to select 

agents. In its 2009 report, the NSABB 

recommended a number of ways to 

strengthen personnel reliability, 

including by enhancing the culture of 

responsibility that currently exists 

within the scientific community, 

particularly with respect to biosecurity 

and dual use research. The U.S. 

Government has asked the NSABB to 

expand on its general recommendations 

in this regard and to develop specific 

guidance that reflects broad input from 

the scientific community. 

The NSABB is seeking input from the 

scientific community on practices that 

will strengthen personnel reliability and 

enhance the culture of responsibility 

regarding biosecurity. This input will 

inform NSABB deliberations on these 

topics and contribute to the 

development of guidance that is sound, 

effective, and feasible. 

The meeting will be structured 

around five discussion panels: (1) 

Engaged institutional leadership for 

promoting biosecurity, personnel 

reliability, and a culture of 

responsibility; (2) Encouraging 

biosecurity awareness and promoting 

responsible conduct in the laboratory 

through communication, lab rapport, 

and a strong sense of team; (3) Peer 

reporting of concerning behaviors; (4) 

Addressing impediments to disclosure 

of negative information about job 

candidates; and (5) Assessment of 

effectiveness and impact of practices for 

strengthening personnel reliability and 

culture of responsibility. Each session 

will include ample time for input from 

meeting attendees. Specific discussion 

questions are noted on the meeting 

agenda, which can be accessed at 

http://www.biosecurityboard.gov. 

The meeting is open to the public and 

is free of charge. Please note that this 

meeting will not be webcast. Preregistration is encouraged to ensure that 

we can accommodate all attendees. 

Please pre-register at http:// 

www.biosecurityboard.gov. Any 

individuals or organizations that cannot 

attend the meeting but wish to provide 

comments are encouraged to submit 

written comments to: nsabb@od.nih.gov.
