National Toxicology Program (NTP); Liaison and Scientific Review Office (LSRO); NTP High Throughput Screening Assays Workshop
The NTP has developed and refined a vision for toxicology in the 21st century (``NTP Vision'') and a roadmap for implementing its vision (``NTP Roadmap'') to strategically place the program at the forefront of providing scientific data and its interpretation for use in public health decision-making (see NTP Web site https:// ntp.niehs.nih.gov select ``NTP Vision and Roadmap''). As part of the NTP Roadmap, the NTP will convene a series of workshops, including the High Throughput Screening Assays Workshop, to discuss test methods and approaches that will enhance the program's ability to efficiently evaluate the large number of substances in our environment for which there is little or no information about their potential hazard for human health. This workshop is scheduled for December 14-15, 2005, at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, 2799 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA and will focus on providing information about high throughput screening techniques and the potential utility of this technology for toxicology and the NTP. This meeting is open to the public and attendance is limited only by the space available. Individuals 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 about the workshop, including background materials and participants, will be posted on the NTP Web site when available (see NTP Web site https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov select ``Meetings and Workshops'').

Deemed Duration of Marriage for Widows/Widowers and Removal of Restriction on Benefits to Children of Military Parents Overseas
We are issuing these final rules to reflect in our regulations changes to the Social Security Act (the Act) made by two provisions in the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA), enacted on March 2, 2004.
