On September 3, 2004, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a
notice in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts
(http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-04-064.html) to
announce and seek public comments regarding NIH’s plans to facilitate
enhanced public access to NIH health-related research information. A 60
day comment period was established upon publication of that notice. A
subsequent notice containing identical information was also published in
the Federal Register on September 17, 2004
(http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/06jun20041800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2004/04-21097.htm).

The purpose of this notice is to inform all interested parties that the
comment period originally identified in the September 3, 2004 NIH Guide
for Grants and Contracts has been extended to coincide with that set
forth in the Federal Register. Therefore, all comments in response to
the proposed NIH Public Access Policy must be received on or before
November 16, 2004.

All comments should be directed to the following NIH website:
