The meeting will involve an
exploration of the issues associated with
the marketing of personalized genomic
information and services directly to
consumers. The Committee will hear
presentations about these services,
including the specificity of information
being provided and plans for helping
consumers interpret and utilize the
results for healthcare decisionmaking,
consumer perspectives, the state of the
underlying science, and public policy
considerations. As part of this
exploration, the Committee will adjourn
for the afternoon of July 7 to participate
in a workshop sponsored by Secretary
Leavitt’s Personalized Health Care
Initiative on Understanding the Needs
of Consumers in the Use of Genomicbased Health Information Services. The
Committee also will review a proposed
action plan for addressing issues
associated with the genetics education
and training of health professionals and
move into the second stage of its
priority setting process.
As always, the Committee welcomes
hearing from anyone wishing to provide
public comment on any issue related to
genetics, health and society. Individuals
who would like to provide public
comment should notify the SACGHS
Executive Secretary, Ms. Sarah Carr, by

ACTION: Request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The NIDCR is developing a
new strategic plan to guide the
Institute’s research efforts over the next
five years (2009–2013). NIDCR is
inviting public comments and input for
the development of the plan via its Web
site https://www.nidcr.nih.gov, by mail
or fax to the addresses below.
ADDRESSES: National Institute of Dental
and Craniofacial Research, Office of the

StrategicPlanInput.htm.
Comments should be submitted
via e-mail on or before June 20, 2008.
Background: NIDCR is the lead
federal agency for research and research
training on oral, dental and craniofacial
diseases and disorders. NIDCR has a
distinguished record of nearly 60 years
of supporting research to advance the
oral health of the nation. Achieving
NIDCR’s vision of advancing the oral
health and well-being for all requires
having a comprehensive strategic plan
that identifies the most promising
opportunities for investment, delineates
the Institute’s priorities, and that
reflects the advice of the research
community and the public at large.
NIDCR achieves its mission to improve
oral, dental and craniofacial health
through research, research training and
the dissemination of health information.
DATES:
Request for Comments
The NIDCR seeks input to the
following questions to inform the
strategic plan:
1. Looking forward, should NIDCR
increase its use of targeted research to
ensure that key research areas with
promise are addressed? If so, what
priority areas would you recommend
that NIDCR pursue? Targeted research is
research solicited by the Institute via
initiatives, RFAs or RFPs.

Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2. In your view, what are the truly
‘‘transformative’’ areas that could have
the greatest benefit for advancing dental
research?
3. What can be done to augment and
accelerate the role and significance of
dental and craniofacial research in the
growing framework of translational
research?
4. What should be NIDCR’s position
on funding ‘‘high risk/high reward
research’’? What in your view
constitutes ‘‘high risk/high reward’’?
5. In realistic terms, what can—and
should—NIDCR do to expand and
enhance the ‘‘pipeline’’ for new dental
and craniofacial researchers?
6. Please provide any additional input
that you think would be useful to
NIDCR in developing its 2009—2013
Strategic Plan.
Individuals submitting public
comments are asked to include relevant
contact information [name, affiliation (if
any), e-mail-address and phone]. This
information may be disclosed to NIDCR
senior staff serving on the strategic plan
steering committee and to contractors

responses by scientific area of expertise,
organizational entity or professional
affiliation. Collection of this information

I have determined that the damage in
certain areas of the State of Maine resulting
from severe storms and flooding beginning
on April 28, 2008, and continuing, is of
sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant
a major disaster declaration under the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 5121–5206 (the
Stafford Act). Therefore, I declare that such
a major disaster exists in the State of Maine.

are hereby authorized to allocate from funds
available for these purposes such amounts as
you find necessary for Federal disaster
assistance and administrative expenses.
You are authorized to provide Individual
Assistance in the designated areas, Hazard
Mitigation throughout the State, and any
other forms of assistance under the Stafford
Act that you deem appropriate. Consistent
with the requirement that Federal assistance
be supplemental, any Federal funds provided
under the Stafford Act for Hazard Mitigation
and Other Needs Assistance will be limited
to 75 percent of the total eligible costs. If
Public Assistance is later requested and
warranted, Federal funds provided under
that program also will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs, except for
any particular projects that are eligible for a
higher Federal cost-sharing percentage under
the FEMA Public Assistance Pilot Program
instituted pursuant to 6 U.S.C. 777.
Further, you are authorized to make
changes to this declaration to the extent
allowable under the Stafford Act.
The time period prescribed for the
implementation of section 310(a),
Priority to Certain Applications for
Public Facility and Public Housing
Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for
a period not to exceed six months after
