    In the interest of security, NIH has instituted stringent 
procedures for entrance into the building by non-government 
employees. Persons without a government I.D. will need to show a 
photo I.D. and sign-in at the security desk upon entering the 
building.
    Information is also available on the Institute's/Center's home 
page: www4.0d.nih.gov/oba/, where an agenda and any additional 
information for the meeting will be posted when available.
    OMB's ``Mandatory Information Requirements for Federal 
Assistance Program Announcements'' (45 FR 39592, June 11, 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.

(Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance Program Nos. 93.14, 
Intermural Research Training Award; 93.187, Undergraduate 
Scholarship Program for Individuals from Disadvantaged Backgrounds; 
93.22, Clinical Research Loan Repayment Program for Individuals from 
Disadvantaged Backgrounds; 93.232, Loan Repayment Program for 
Research Generally; 93.39, Academic Research Enhancement Award; 
93.936, NIH Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Research Loan 
Repayment Program, National Institutes of Health, HHS)
