SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The purpose of the meeting is to assist 

and advise the Secretary and Congress 

through the Department of Health and 

Human Services’ Office of Consumer 

Information and Insurance Oversight 

(OCIIO) on the Department’s strategy to 

foster the creation of qualified nonprofit 

health insurance issuers. Specifically, 

the Committee shall advise the 

Secretary and Congress concerning the 

award of grants and loans related to 

Section 1322 of the Affordable Care Act. 

In these matters, the Committee shall 

consult with all components of the 

Department, other federal entities, and 

non-federal organizations, as 

appropriate; and examine relevant data 

sources to assess the grant and loan 

award strategy to provide 

recommendations to OCIIO. 

II. Meeting Agenda 

The committee will hear testimony 

from a number of individuals with 

experience and expertise in the market 

for health insurance and nonprofit 

cooperative health issuers. OCIIO 

intends to make background material 

available to the public no later than two 

(2) business days prior to the meeting. 

If OCIIO is unable to post the 

background material on its Web site 

prior to the meeting, it will be made 

publicly available at the location of the 

advisory committee meeting, and the 

background material will be posted on 

OCIIO’s Web site after the meeting, at 

http://hhs.gov/ociio. 

Oral comments from the public will 

be scheduled between approximately 

3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Individuals or 

organizations that wish to make a 

3-minute oral presentation on an agenda 

topic should submit a written copy of 

the oral presentation to the DFO at the 

address listed in the ADDRESSES section 

of this notice by the date listed in the 

DATES section of this notice. The 

number of oral presentations may be 

limited by the time available. Persons 

attending OCIIO’s advisory committee 

meetings are advised that the agency is 

not responsible for providing access to 

electrical outlets. If the number of 

speakers requesting to comment is 

greater than can be reasonably

Proposed Project 

FoodNet Non-O157 Shiga ToxinProducing E. coli Study: Assessment of 

Risk Factors for Laboratory-Confirmed 

Infections and Characterization of 

Illnesses by Microbiological 

Characteristics—New—National Center 

for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases, Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Each year many Shiga toxinproducing E. coli (STEC) infections 

occur in the United States, ranging in 

severity from mild diarrhea, to 

hemorrhagic colitis and in some cases, 

life-threatening hemolytic uremic 

syndrome (HUS). HUS occurs most 

frequently following infection with 

serogroup O157; 6% of patients with 

this type of STEC infection develop 

HUS, with highest occurrence in 

children aged <5 years. HUS has a 

fatality rate of approximately 5%; up to 

25% of HUS survivors are left with 

chronic kidney damage. 

STEC are broadly categorized into two 

groups by their O antigens, STEC O157 

and non-O157 STEC. The serogroup 

O157 is most frequently isolated and 

most strongly associated with HUS. Risk 

factors for STEC O157 infections in the 

United States and internationally have 

been intensely studied. Non-O157 STEC 

are a diverse group that includes all 

Shiga toxin-producing E. coli of 

serogroups other than O157. Over 50 

STEC serogroups are known to have 

caused human illness. Numerous nonO157 outbreaks have been reported from 

throughout the world and clinical 

outcomes in some patients can be as 

severe as those seen with STEC O157 

infections, however, little is known 

about the specific risk factors for 

infections due to non-O157 STEC 

serogroups. More comprehensive 

understanding of risk factors for 

sporadic non-O157 STEC infections is 

needed to inform prevention and 

control efforts. The FoodNet casecontrol study will be the first multistate 

investigation of non-outbreak-associated 

non-O157 STEC infections in the United 

States. It will investigate risk factors for 

non-O157 STEC infections, both as a 

group and individually for the most 

common non-O157 STEC serogroups. In 

addition, the study will characterize the 

major known virulence factors of nonO157 STEC to assess how risk factors 

and clinical features vary by virulence 

factor profiles. As the largest, most 

comprehensive, and most powerful

study of its kind, it could make an 

important contribution towards better 

understanding of non-O157 STEC 

infections and to providing sciencebased recommendations for 

interventions to prevent these 

infections. 

Persons with non-O157 STEC 

infections who are identified as part of 

routine public health surveillance and 

randomly selected healthy persons in 

the patients’ communities (to serve as 

controls) will be contacted and offered 

enrollment into this study. Participation 

is completely voluntary and there is no 

cost for enrollment.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Office of Community Services 

(OCS) Community Economic 

Development (CED) and Job 

Opportunities for Low-Income 

Individuals (JOLI) Standard Reporting 

Format. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Office of Community 

Services (OCS) is collecting key 

information about projects funded 

through the Community Economic 

Development (CED) and Job 

Opportunities for Low-Income 

Individuals (JOLI) programs. The 

legislative requirement for these two 

programs is in Title IV of the 

Community Opportunities, 

Accountability and Training and 

Educational Services Act (COATS 

Human Services Reauthorization Act) of 

October 27, 1998, Public Law 105–285, 

section 680(b) as amended. The 

Performance Progress Report (PPR) is a 

new proposed reporting format that will 

collect information concerning the 

outcomes and management of CED and 

JOLI projects. OCS will use the data to 

critically review the overall design and 

effectiveness of each program. 

The PPR will be administered to all 

active grantees of the CED and JOLI 

programs. Grantees will be required to 

use this reporting tool for their 

semiannual reports. The majority of the 

questions in this tool were adapted from 

a previously approved questionnaire, 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) Control Number: 0970–0317. 

Questions were also adapted to the 

OMB-approved reporting format of the 

PPR, specifically forms SF–PPR, SF– 

PPR–A, SF–PPR–B, and SF–PPR–E. 

Additional changes were made to 

improve the clarity and quality of the 

data and to eliminate unnecessary 

questions. The PPR will replace both the 

annual questionnaire and the current 

semi-annual reporting format, which 

will result in an overall reduction in 

burden for the grantees while 

significantly improving the quality of 

the data collected by OCS. 

Respondents: Current CED and JOLI 

grantees.
