Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 5 / Tuesday, January 8, 2013 / Notices 1217 

1980) requires a statement concerning the 

official government programs contained in 

the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. 

Normally NIH lists in its announcements the 

number and title of affected individual 

programs for the guidance of the public. 

Because the guidance in this notice covers 

virtually every NIH and Federal research 

program in which DNA recombinant 

molecule techniques could be used, it has 

been determined not to be cost effective or 

in the public interest to attempt to list these 

programs. Such a list would likely require 

several additional pages. In addition, NIH 

could not be certain that every Federal 

program would be included as many Federal 

agencies, as well as private organizations, 

both national and international, have elected 

to follow the NIH Guidelines. In lieu of the 

individual program listing, NIH invites 

readers to direct questions to the information 

address above about whether individual 

programs listed in the Catalog of Federal 

Domestic Assistance are affected.

In the interest of security, NIH has 

instituted stringent procedures for 

entrance onto the NIH campus. All 

visitor vehicles, including taxicabs, 

hotel, and airport shuttles will be 

inspected before being allowed on 

campus. Visitors will be asked to show 

one form of identification (for example, 

a government-issued photo ID, driver’s 

license, or passport) and to state the 

purpose of their visit. 

OBA will offer those members of the 

public viewing the meeting via webcast 

(see link on OBA Meetings Page) the 

opportunity to submit comments to be 

read during the scheduled public 

comment periods. Individuals wishing 

to submit comments should use the 

comment form, which will 

accommodate comments up to 1500 

characters, and will be available on the 

OBA Meetings Page during the meeting. 

Please submit your comment prior to 

the start of the public comment period. 

Please limit your comment to a 

statement that can be read in one to two 

minutes. Please include your name and 

affiliation with your comment. 

OBA will read comments into the 

record during the public comment 

periods that are specified on the agenda. 

Please note, while every effort is made 

to keep the meeting discussions to the 

times stated on the agenda, it is not 

unusual for the meeting to run ahead or 

behind schedule due to changes in the 

time needed to review a protocol. It is 

advisable to monitor the webcast to 

determine when public comments will 

be read. Comments submitted 

electronically will follow any comments 

by individuals attending the meeting in 

person. Comments will be read in the 

order received and your name and 

affiliation will be read with the 

comment. Please note OBA may not be 

able to read every comment received in 

the time allotted for public comment. 

Comments not read will become part of 

the public record. 

Any interested person may file 

written comments with the committee 

by forwarding the statement to the 

Contact Person listed on this notice. The 

statement should include the name, 

address, telephone number and when 

applicable, the business or professional 

affiliation of the interested person.
