Final Action Under the NIH Guidelines
for Research Involving Recombinant
DNA Molecules (NIH Guidelines)
On March 4, 2009, the
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Office of Biotechnology Activities,
Office of Science Policy (NIH/OBA)
published a proposal in the Federal
Register (74 FR 9411) to revise the NIH
Guidelines in two regards. The first was
to address biosafety considerations for
research with synthetic nucleic acids.
The proposal modified the scope of the
NIH Guidelines specifically to cover
certain basic and clinical research with
nucleic acid molecules created solely by
synthetic means. The second proposed
revision was to modify the criteria for
determining whether an experiment to
introduce drug resistance into a
microorganism must be reviewed by the
Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee
(RAC) and approved by the NIH Director
(as a Major Action under Section III–A–
1–a of the NIH Guidelines). Comments
submitted were discussed at the ‘‘NIH
Public Consultation on Proposed
Changes to the NIH Guidelines for
Synthetic Nucleic Acids’’ on June 23,
2009 (https://oba.od.nih.gov/rdna_rac/
rac_pub_con.html’’.
This notice sets forth final changes to
the NIH Guidelines regarding those two
proposals. The scope of the NIH
Guidelines is being modified to cover
certain classes of basic and clinical
research with synthetic nucleic acids
while exempting others. As discussed
herein, the majority of research with
synthetic nucleic acids that are not
designed to replicate does not raise
significant biosafety concerns that
warrant oversight under the NIH
Guidelines. Because of the modification
of the scope of the NIH Guidelines, the
title of the NIH Guidelines will be
revised from NIH Guidelines for
Research Involving Recombinant DNA
Molecules to NIH Guidelines for
Research Involving Recombinant or
Synthetic Nucleic Acids Molecules.
These changes also clarify the criteria
for determining whether an experiment
to introduce drug resistance into a
microorganism raises sufficient public
health issues to warrant the experiment
being reviewed by the RAC and
approved by the NIH Director under
Section III–A–1–a of the NIH
Guidelines. While the current criteria
for determining whether an experiment
requires review under Section III–A–1–
a are being retained, additional language
is being added regarding the assessment
of whether a drug is therapeutically
useful. In addition, NIH/OBA has
clarified that Institutional Biosafety
Committees (IBCs) can consult with
NIH/OBA regarding a specific
experiment that does not meet the
criteria for review under Section III–A–
1–a but nonetheless raises important
public health issues. Finally, a section
is added to give NIH/OBA the authority
