Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 145 / Monday, July 30, 2007 / Notices The Department of Health and Human Services is committed to ensuring that women, minority groups, and individuals with physical disabilities are adequately represented on the Committee. Nominations of qualified candidates from these categories are encouraged. The Department also seeks to have geographic diversity reflected in the composition of the Committee. The Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch are applicable to individuals who are appointed as public members of Federal advisory committees. Individuals appointed to serve as public members of Federal advisory committees are classified as special Government employees (SGEs). SGEs are Government employees for purposes of the conflict of interest laws. Therefore, individuals appointed to serve as public members of the ACBSA are subject to an ethics review. The ethics review is conducted to determine if the individual has any interests and/or activities in the private sector that may conflict with performance of their official duties as a member of the Committee. Individuals appointed to serve as public members of the Committee will be required to disclose information regarding financial holdings, consultancies, and research grants and/or contracts.

ACTION: Notice. I. Funding Opportunity Description The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its intention to receive and consider applications for the award of a cooperative agreement in fiscal year 2007 (FY07) to provide support in furtherance of FDA’s responsibilities, under section 532 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360ii), to establish and carry out a comprehensive radiation control program. An estimated amount of support in FY07 will be for up to $400,000, with an additional 5 years of support, subject to the condition that in addition to FDA funds, augmenting funds are transferred to FDA from other Federal agencies to fully support this program. Funds may not be used to fund or conduct international activities or initiatives. As the lead Federal agency, FDA intends to collect funds from all other contributing Federal agencies through Interagency Agreements and fund one award for up to $400,000 in total costs (including both direct and indirect costs). After the first year, additional years of noncompetitive support are predicated upon acceptable performance during the preceding year and the availability of Federal funds. The cooperative agreement will allow FDA to continue to work with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and its predecessor organizations, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to provide financial support for a forum established to foster the exchange of ideas and information E:\FR\FM\30JYN1.SGM 30JYN1
