Meeting
National Institutes of Health
Pursuant to section 10(a) of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, as
amended (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), notice
is hereby given of the fourth meeting of
the Commission on Systemic
Interoperability.
The meeting will be open to the
public, with attendance limited to space
available. Individuals who plan to
attend and need special assistance, such
as sign language interpretation or other
reasonable accommodations, should
notify the Contact Person listed below
in advance of the meeting.
The mission of the Commission on
Systemic Interoperability is to submit a
report to the Secretary of Health and
Human Services and to Congress on a
comprehensive strategy for the adoption
and implementation of health care
information technology standards that
includes a timeline and prioritization
for such adoption and implementation.
In developing that strategy, the
Commission will consider: (1) The costs

Cancer Bioassay: Strains & Stocks—

ACTION: Meeting Announcement.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Over the past year, the
National Toxicology Program (NTP) has
developed and refined a vision for
toxicology in the 21st century (‘‘NTP
Vision’’) and a roadmap for
implementing this vision (‘‘NTP
Roadmap’’) that will strategically
position the program at the forefront for
providing scientific data and the
interpretation of those data for public
health decision-making (see
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
additional detail). As part of the NTP
Roadmap, the program will convene a
series of public workshops to review
aspects of the existing testing program.
The first workshop is scheduled for June
16–17, 2005, at the NIEHS in Research
Triangle Park, NC and will focus on
evaluating stocks and strains currently
used in the NTP rodent cancer bioassay
in order to improve the ability of the
bioassay to identify substances that may
pose a carcinogenic hazard for humans.
In particular, the goal of this workshop
is to seek scientific input as to whether
the NTP should continue to use both the
F344 rat and B6C3F1 mouse models, use
other strains, and/or use multiple
strains as previously suggested (Festing,
1995). Future workshops will address
other study design issues such as diet,
length of study, and age at exposure.
The NTP invites public comments on
the appropriateness of the F344N and
B6C3F1 models currently used and the
submission of historical control data for
rodent models that the NTP might
consider at the workshop. The program
will include plenary sessions as well as
three breakout group meetings for indepth discussions of rat models, mouse
models, and the multiple strain
approach. Following the meeting, the
NTP will prepare a workshop report and
present its proposed testing strategy to
the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors
for their consideration and input.
Attendance at the meeting is limited
only by the space available. Members of
the public may register to attend the
workshop on a first-come, first-served
basis per the procedures outlined below.
A copy of the agenda and any additional
information on the workshop, including
participants and background materials,
will be posted on the NTP Web site
when available (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov
select ‘‘Meetings and Workshops’’)
DATES: The workshop will be held June
16–17, 2005. The meeting will begin at
8:30 a.m. each day and end at 5 p.m. on
June 16 and approximately 12 p.m. on
June 17.
Comments: Written comments and
historical control data should be
received by May 19, 2005, to enable
review by NIEHS/NTP staff and
workshop panelists prior to the meeting
(see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
below). The deadline for registration to
present oral comments at the meeting is
June 9, 2005.
Registration: Individuals who plan to
attend are strongly encouraged to
register by June 9, 2005, in order to
ensure access to the NIEHS campus (see
