II-F-l-b. The project proposed by the requesting laboratory has 
been reviewed and approved by the IBC overseeing that laboratory. 
II-F-2. Prior to shipment of recombinant DNA materials to a 
foreign country, the sending laboratory shall obtain from the requesting 
laboratory a statement that the research involving recombinant DNA mole- 
cules will be conducted in accordance with the containment standards of 
the NIH Guidelines, or under applicable national guidelines. 
II-F-3. The sending investigator shall maintain a record of all 
shipments of recombinant DNA materials. 
NOTE: See Section II-D-3 of the Guidelines for restrictions on 
distribution of certified host-vector systems. 
II-G. Policy and Procedures for Recombinant CNA Research Supported 
by NIH and Conducted in Foreign Countries . 
II-G-1. Requirements Regarding Countries That Have Adopted 
Guidelines . Many countries in which NIH- supported recombinant DNA 
research may be conducted have adopted guidelines for this research 
which are either comparable to or based on principles similar to those 
of the NIH Guidelines. Also, many countries have organizations and 
procedures to review and register recombinant DNA research, and require 
documentation similar to that of NIH. If such comparable guidelines and 
procedures exist, then review and approval by the appropriate national 
body of the country in which the research is to be conducted will, in
