The Department of Health and Human 

Services is committed to ensuring that 

women, minority groups, and 

individuals with physical disabilities 

are adequately represented on the 

Committee. Nominations of qualified 

candidates from these categories are 

encouraged. The Department also seeks 

to have geographic diversity reflected in 

the composition of the Committee. 

The Standards of Ethical Conduct for 

Employees of the Executive Branch are 

applicable to individuals who are 

appointed as public members of Federal 

advisory committees. Individuals 

appointed to serve as public members of 

Federal advisory committees are 

classified as special Government 

employees (SGEs). SGEs are 

Government employees for purposes of 

the conflict of interest laws. Therefore, 

individuals appointed to serve as public 

members of the ACBSA are subject to an 

ethics review. The ethics review is 

conducted to determine if the 

individual has any interests and/or 

activities in the private sector that may 

conflict with performance of their 

official duties as a member of the 

Committee. Individuals appointed to 

serve as public members of the 

Committee will be required to disclose 

information regarding financial 

holdings, consultancies, and research 

grants and/or contracts.

Assuring Radiation Protection; 

Cooperative Agreement; Request for 

Applications: RFA-FDA-CDRH–07–004; 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance Number: 93.103 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

The Food and Drug Administration 

(FDA) is announcing its intention to 

receive and consider applications for 

the award of a cooperative agreement in 

fiscal year 2007 (FY07) to provide 

support in furtherance of FDA’s 

responsibilities, under section 532 of 

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (21 U.S.C. 360ii), to establish and 

carry out a comprehensive radiation 

control program. An estimated amount 

of support in FY07 will be for up to 

$400,000, with an additional 5 years of 

support, subject to the condition that in 

addition to FDA funds, augmenting 

funds are transferred to FDA from other 

Federal agencies to fully support this 

program. Funds may not be used to fund 

or conduct international activities or 

initiatives. As the lead Federal agency, 

FDA intends to collect funds from all 

other contributing Federal agencies 

through Interagency Agreements and 

fund one award for up to $400,000 in 

total costs (including both direct and 

indirect costs). After the first year, 

additional years of noncompetitive 

support are predicated upon acceptable 

performance during the preceding year 

and the availability of Federal funds. 

The cooperative agreement will allow 

FDA to continue to work with the 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission and its 

predecessor organizations, the 

Environmental Protection Agency and 

the Federal Emergency Management 

Agency, to provide financial support for 

a forum established to foster the 

exchange of ideas and information
