DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

Rehabilitation Research and 

Development Service Scientific Merit 

Review Board; Notice of Meeting 

The Department of Veterans Affairs 

gives notice under Public Law 92–463 

(Federal Advisory Committee Act) that 

a meeting of the Rehabilitation Research 

and Development Service Scientific 

Merit Review Board will be held on 

December 11–12, 2006, at the Sofitel 

Lafayette Hotel, 806 15th Street, NW., 

Washington, DC. The meeting sessions 

will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. 

each day. 

The purpose of the Board is to review 

rehabilitation research and development 

applications for scientific and technical 

merit and to make recommendations to 

the Director, Rehabilitation Research 

and Development Service, regarding 

their funding. 

The meeting will be open to the 

public on December 11, 2006 from 8 

a.m. to 9 a.m. for the discussion of 

administrative matters, the general 

status of the program and the 

administrative details of the review 

process. The meeting will be closed on 

December 11, 2006 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 

p.m. and on December 12, 2006 from 8 

a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for the Board’s review 

of research and development 

applications. 

This review involves oral comments, 

discussion of site visits, staff and 

consultant critiques of proposed 

research protocols, and similar 

analytical documents that necessitate 

the consideration of the personal 

qualifications, performance, and 

competence of individual research 

investigators. Disclosure of such 

information would constitute a clearly 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy. Disclosure would also reveal 

research proposals and research 

underway which could lead to the loss 

of these projects to third parties and 

thereby frustrate future agency research 

efforts. Thus, the closing in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6), and (c)(9)(B) 

and the determination of the Secretary 

of the Department of Veterans Affairs 

under Section 10(d) of Public Law 92–

463 as amended by Section 5(c) of 

Public Law 94–409. 

Those who plan to attend the open 

session should contact Denise Burton, 

PhD, Federal Designated Officer, 

Portfolio Manager, Rehabilitation 

Research and Development Service 

(122), Department of Veterans Affairs, 

810 Vermont Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20420, at (202) 254–

0268. 

Dated: October 31, 2006. 

By direction of the Secretary 

E. Philip Riggin, 

Committee Management Officer.
