1. As an illustration, the NIH has issued “Notice: Enhanced Public Access to NIH Research Information,” Notice Number: NOT-OD-04-064, Release Date: September 3, 2004, http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-04-064.html (accessed Sept.5, 2005), which contains the following changed provisions: It is no longer required that the manuscript be public “immediately in cases in which some or all of the publication costs are paid with NIH grant funds.” However, “if the publisher requests, the author’s final version of the publication will be replaced in the PMC archive by the final publisher’s copy.” For additional differences, see Peter Suber's Open Access News posting on September 4, 2004, http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2004_08_29_fosblogarchive.html#a109434642679402483 .

Although written by a proponent of OA, this even-handed blog is the best source for following OA developments.
