Download as PDF cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 19 / Monday, January 30, 2006 / Notices is essential to the mission of the NIH [42 U.S.C. 241 and 282(b)(1)]. In December 2003, the House Energy and Commerce Committee raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest at NIH. In response to these concerns, the NIH Director, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, ordered an internal investigation into consulting agreements at NIH and in June 2004 proposed changes to the agency’s conflict-of-interest policies. Effective February 3, 2005, the new regulations (5 CFR Parts 5501 and 5502, ‘‘Supplemental Standards of Ethical Conduct and Financial Disclosure Requirements for Employees of the Department of Health and Human Services,’’ FR Vol. 70, No. 22, Thursday, February 3, 2005, 5543–5565, and Vol. 70, No. 168, Wednesday, August 31, 2005, 51559–51574) apply to all NIH employees and, among other things, place limits on certain financial holdings of the most senior NIH employees, their spouses, and minor children and on certain outside activities in which NIH staff may engage. Gauging both the immediate and longer term impact of these new rules is crucial to NIH’s ability to develop and maintain a world-class staff. This project will produce data that will help NIH and HHS leaders determine the impact of the regulations and how to minimize the effect of the regulations on NIH’s ability to recruit and retain staff. NIH intends to survey potential applicants for NIH employment from scientific organizations from which NIH has traditionally drawn leading scientific personnel, and those senior scientists and administrators who have voluntarily left NIH since February 2005. This will allow NIH to determine whether the regulations impact individuals’ attitudes about employment at NIH and the likelihood of their joining and/or leaving the agency.

The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 500; Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: One; Average Burden Hours Per Response: 15 minutes; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 117 hours.
