ACTION: Meeting announcement. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The National Toxicology Program (NTP) has established the Nanotechnology Working Group (‘‘the NWG’’) to the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors in order to enhance public and stakeholder input into the NTP nanotechnology research program. The NWG is a technical advisory body established to provide a structured and formal mechanism for bringing stakeholders together to learn about NTP nanotechnology research related to public health, address issues related to that research, and promote dissemination of those discussions to other Federal agencies, nanotechnology stakeholders, and the public. The first meeting of the NWG is scheduled for June 24, 2005, at the NIEHS, 111 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709. DATES: The working group meeting will be held June 24, 2005. The meeting will begin at 12:30 p.m. and end at approximately 4:30 p.m. Individuals who plan to attend are encouraged to register by June 17, 2005, in order to ensure access to the NIEHS campus (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT below). Persons needing special assistance, such as sign language interpretation or other reasonable accommodation, in order to attend are asked to notify the NTP at least 7 business days in advance of the meeting. ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in the Rodbell Auditorium, Rall Building at the NIEHS, 111 T.W. Alexander Drive, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In recent years, nanotechnology has become an increasing focus of U.S. and global research and development efforts. As with many technological advances, novel materials are created, and as a result, the potential exists for new and unanticipated human exposures for which the impact on human health is unknown. The NTP is developing a broad-based research program to address potential human health hazards associated with the manufacture and use of nanoscale materials. This research program will include studies of nanoscale materials that apply existing and novel toxicological methods to assess potential health effects associated with exposure to these materials. In order to enhance public and stakeholder input into this program, the NTP has established the Nanotechnology Working Group to provide advice to the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors on NTP nanotechnology research.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In recent years, nanotechnology has become an increasing focus of 
U.S. and global research and development efforts. As with many 
technological advances, novel materials are created, and as a result, 
the potential exists for new and unanticipated human exposures for 
which the impact on human health is unknown. The NTP is developing a 
broad-based research program to address potential human health hazards 
associated with the manufacture and use of nanoscale materials. This 
research program will include studies of nanoscale materials that apply 
existing and novel toxicological methods to assess potential health 
effects associated with exposure to these materials. In order to 
enhance public and stakeholder input into this program, the NTP has 
established the Nanotechnology Working Group to provide advice to the 
NTP Board of Scientific Counselors on NTP nanotechnology research. 
Additional information on the NWG, including charge and roster, is 
available at the NTP Web site (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ select
