from plants of the same species outside of the 
experimental plot in accordance with 
pollination characteristics of the species, and 
for preventing plants containing recombinant 
DNA from becoming established in the 
environment. Review of the IDC should 
include an appraisal by scientists 
knowledgable in the crop, its production 
practices, and the local geographic 
conditions. 
OMB's "Mandatory Information 
Requirements for Federal Assistance Program 
Announcements" (45 FR 39592) requires a 
statement concerning the official government 
program contained in the Catalog of Federal 
Domestic Assistance. Normally Nil I lists in 
its announcements the number and title of 
affected individual programs for the guidance 
of the public. Because the quidance in this 
notice covers not only virtually every NIH 
program but also essentially every federal 
research program in which DNA recombinant 
molecule techniques could be used, it has 
been determined to be not 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.
