The latex allergy caution required by 21 CFR 801.437 and referenced in the guidance does not constitute a ‘‘collection of information’’ under the PRA. Rather, it is a ‘‘public disclosure of information originally supplied by the Federal government to the recipient for the purpose of disclosure to the public.’’ (5 CFR 1320.3(c)(2)). natural extension of the MicroArray Quality Control (MAQC) project (https:// www.fda.gov/nctr/science/centers/ toxicoinformatics/maqc/) and is being coordinated by the FDA. This project is open to the public. Vendors of nextgeneration sequencing technologies and institutions interested in the generation, management, analysis, and interpretation of the resulting sequence data are welcome to participate. V. Comments Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES), written or electronic comments regarding this document. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy. Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

ACTION: Notice of solicitation. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is soliciting volunteers to participate in the SEQC (Sequencing Quality Control) project to objectively assess the technical performance of different next-generation sequencing technologies in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) analyses and to evaluate the advantages and limitations of various bioinformatics solutions in handling and analyzing the massive new data sets.

ADDRESSES: FDA’s Critical Path Initiative (https:// www.fda.gov/oc/initiatives/ criticalpath/) identifies pharmacogenomics as a key opportunity in advancing medical product development and personalized medicine. FDA has issued the ‘‘Guidance for Industry: Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions’’ (https://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/ 6400fnl.pdf) to facilitate scientific progress in the field of pharmacogenomic data integration in drug development and medical diagnostics. Microarrays represent a core technology in pharmacogenomics and toxicogenomics; however, nextgeneration sequencing technologies promise to provide some unique advantages in DNA and RNA analyses and are expected to be adopted by the pharmaceutical and medical industries for advancing personalized nutrition and medicine. The SEQC project, with broad participation from scientists and reviewers within FDA and collaborators across the public, academic, and private sectors, is expected to help prepare FDA for the next wave of submission of genomic data generated from the nextgeneration sequencing technologies.
