SUMMARY: A proposal by Dr. Harlan Caldwell at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) involving the deliberate transfer of a tetracycline resistance trait to non-ocular strains of Chlamydia trachomatis has been submitted to the NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA). The introduction of tetracycline resistance could compromise the ability to treat disease caused by Chlamydia trachomatis as doxycycline is currently used to treat disease caused by this organism. Under Section III–A–1 of the NIH Guidelines, if the deliberate transfer of a drug resistance trait to microorganisms could compromise the use of the drug to control disease in humans, veterinary medicine, or agriculture the experiment must be reviewed by the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) and approved by the NIH Director. On September 24, 2007 the NIH Director granted approval to Dr. Daniel Rockey, Oregon State University and Dr. Walter Stamm, University of Washington, to introduce tetracycline resistance into non-ocular strains of Chlamydia trachomatis under the containment level recommended by the RAC—Biosafety level 2 containment with Biosafety level 3 practices (see NIH Guidelines Appendix G–II–B and G–II– C). The requirements regarding containment as well as additional VerDate Nov<24>2008 15:34 Oct 27, 2009 Jkt 220001 required occupational health measures were published in the Federal Register (72 FR 61661). This approval was specific for Dr. Rockey at Oregon State University and Dr. Stamm at the University of Washington. Dr. Caldwell at RML is proposing to develop a plasmid-based system to define the experimental conditions required for transformation of nonocular C. trachomatis strains to tetracycline resistance. The investigators are proposing to perform these experiments under the same containment and implement the same occupational health measures required for the research proposed by Drs. Rockey and Stamm (72 FR 61661). This proposal will be discussed at the December 1–3, 2009 meeting of NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee. DATES: The public is encouraged to submit written comments on this proposed action. Comments may be submitted to the OBA in paper or electronic form at the OBA mailing, fax, and e-mail addresses shown below under the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. The NIH will consider all comments submitted by November 25, 2009. Written comments submitted by November 12, 2009 will be reproduced and distributed to the RAC for consideration at its December 1–3, 2009 meeting. In addition, an opportunity for public comment will be provided at that meeting. All written comments received in response to this notice will be available for public inspection at the NIH OBA office, 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 750, Bethesda, MD 20892 (telephone, 301–496–9838), weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact OBA by e-mail at oba@od.nih.gov, or telephone at 301– 496–9838, if you have questions, or require additional information about this proposed action. Comments may be submitted to the same email address or by fax at 301–496–9839 or sent by U.S. mail to the Office of Biotechnology Activities, National Institutes of Health, 6705 Rockledge Drive, Suite 750, MSC 7985, Bethesda, Maryland 20892–7985. For additional information about the RAC meeting at which this proposed action will be deliberated, please visit the NIH OBA Web site at: https:// oba.od.nih.gov/oba/.

ACTION: Notice to consolidate one Privacy Act system of records notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 the Department of Homeland Security is giving notice that it proposes to consolidate the Privacy Act system of records notice titled, Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector—001 General Audit Training Tracking System of Records into the existing Department of Homeland Security-wide system of records notice titled, Department of Homeland Security/ALL—003 General Training Records System of Records. DATES: These changes will take effect on November 27, 2009. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general questions and privacy issues please contact: Mary Ellen Callahan (703–235–0790), Chief Privacy Officer, Privacy Office, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528. Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and as part of its ongoing integration and management efforts, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is consolidating the system of records notice titled, DHS/ Office of Inspector General (OIG)—001 Audit Training Tracking System of Records (70 FR 20154, April 18, 2005). DHS will continue to collect and maintain records regarding audit training and will rely upon the existing DHS-wide system of records notice titled, DHS/ALL—003 General Training Records System of Records (73 FR 71656, November 25, 2008). Eliminating this notice will have no adverse impacts on individuals, but will promote the overall streamlining and management of DHS Privacy Act record systems.
