Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 5 / Tuesday, January 8, 2013 / Notices
1980) requires a statement concerning the
official government programs contained in
the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.
Normally NIH lists in its announcements the
number and title of affected individual
programs for the guidance of the public.
Because the guidance in this notice covers
virtually every NIH and Federal research
program in which DNA recombinant
molecule techniques could be used, it has
been determined not to be cost effective or
in the public interest to attempt to list these
programs. Such a list would likely require
several additional pages. In addition, NIH
could not be certain that every Federal
program would be included as many Federal
agencies, as well as private organizations,
both national and international, have elected
to follow the NIH Guidelines. In lieu of the
individual program listing, NIH invites
readers to direct questions to the information
address above about whether individual
programs listed in the Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance are affected.
