OMB's "Mandatory Information Requirements for Federal Assistance Program Announcements" (45 FR 39592, June 11, 1980) requires a statement concerning the official government programscontained in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance. Normally NIH lists in itsannouncements the number and title of affected individual programs for the guidance of thepublic. Because the guidance in this notice covers virtually every NIH and Federal researchprogram in which DNA recombinant molecule techniques could be used, it has been determinednot to be cost effective or in the public interest to attempt to list these programs. Such a list wouldlikely require several additional pages. In addition, NIH could not be certain that every Federalprogram would be included as many Federal agencies, as well as private organizations, bothnational and international, have elected to follow the NIH Guidelines. In lieu of the individualprogram listing, NIH invites readers to direct questions to the information address above aboutwhether individual programs listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance are affected.
