Supplementary Information
Paperwork Reduction Act Control Number 3145- 0149. On June 28, 1994, NSF published in the Federal Register a final Policy announcing revised award conditions relating to investigator financial disclosure. Those revised conditions require grantee institutions to maintain written and enforced policies on investigator conflict of interest. 59 FR 33308 (June 28, 1994). NSF has been coordinating its Investigator Financial Disclosure Policy with the Public Health Service and the Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). At the same time NSF published its final Policy, HHS published a notice of proposed rulemaking also dealing with investigator conflicts. HHS received and reviewed public comments on that proposed rule and has not yet issued its final rule. To maintain consistency with HHS' rule and its anticipated effective date, NSF is now changing the effective date of its Investigator Financial Disclosure Policy to October 1, 1995.
