jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES

The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) issued government-wide
guidance to enhance the practice of peer
review of government science
documents. OMB’s Final Information
Quality Bulletin for Peer Review (‘‘Peer
Review Bulletin’’ or PRB) (available at
https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/
omb/memoranda_fy2005_m05-03/)
establishes minimum peer review
standards for influential scientific
information that Federal agencies intend
to disseminate.
The Peer Review Bulletin also directs
Federal agencies to adopt or adapt the
National Academy of Sciences (NAS)
policy for evaluating conflicts of interest
when selecting peer reviewers who are
not Federal government employees
(federal employees are subject to
Federal ethics requirements). For peer
review purposes, the term ‘‘conflicts of
interest’’ means any financial or other
interest which conflicts with the service
of the individual because it could: (1)
Significantly impair the individual’s
objectivity; or (2) create an unfair
competitive advantage for any person or
organization. NOAA has adapted the
NAS policy and developed two
confidential conflict disclosure forms
which the agency will use to examine
prospective reviewers’ potential
financial conflicts and other interests
that could impair objectivity or create
an unfair advantage. One form is for
peer reviewers of studies related to
government regulation and the other
form is for all other influential scientific
information subject to the Peer Review
Bulletin. In addition, the latter form has
been adapted by NOAA’s Office of
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research for
potential reviewers of scientific
laboratories.
The forms include questions about
employment as well as investment and
property interests and research funding.
Both forms also require the submission
of curriculum vitae. NOAA is seeking to
collect this information from potential
peer reviewers who are not government
employees when conducting a peer
review pursuant to the PRB. The
information collected in the conflict of
interest disclosure is essential to
NOAA’s compliance with the OMB
PRB, and helps to ensure that
government studies are reviewed by
independent, impartial peer reviewers.
II. Method of Collection
Forms may be downloaded from the
internet and are fillable and signed
electronically or manually. They may be
submitted, along with the Curriculum
Vitae, via email or regular mail.
