**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

Scope of Problem: Youth violence is a significant public health problem with the potential for immediate and lifelong harmful consequences. Although rates of youth violence have dropped since the peak levels in the early 1990s, risk for youth violence remains unacceptably high. Each day, an average of 16 young people between the ages of 10 and 24 years fall victim to homicide and another 1,700 are treated in emergency departments for nonfatal injuries from physical assaults. Youth violence also is associated with high rates of emotional and social difficulties, alcohol and substance use, and academic failure. The damage resulting from youth violence extends beyond the young perpetrators and victims. Violence can increase a community’s health care costs, decrease property values, and disrupt social services. Each year, youth homicides and assault-related injuries result in an estimated $14.1 billion in combined medical and work loss costs. These losses and expenditures deprive us of our next generation of healthy and productive citizens and restrict our opportunities to invest in other areas that our nation views as critical.

Approach: The Office of the Surgeon General is interested in increasing attention to the issue of youth violence in the United States and the science that demonstrates youth violence can be prevented from occurring. This document would build on the 2001 Surgeon General’s report on youth violence along with 10 years of experience in the field to help our nation understand the causes and impacts of youth violence and how to prevent it from occurring in the first place.

Potential Areas of Focus: CDC is interested in receiving information on the following:


### 2732 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 12 / Thursday, January 19, 2012 / Notices

(1) What is the extent of the problem and its consequences.

(2) What are the differences in youth violence prevalence among subgroups and communities and how might they inform prevention approaches.

(3) What is the availability and adaptability of evidence-based prevention programs.

Purpose of Notice: The purpose of this notice is to provide individuals and organizations the opportunity to identify issues and areas of need for consideration as we gather information to inform the Surgeon General’s document on youth violence. All comments will receive careful consideration.

Dated: January 5, 2012. Tanja Popovic, Deputy Associate Director for Science, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

**Tribal Consultation; Notice of Meeting**

**AGENCY :**  Administration for Children and Families, Department of Health and Human Services.

**ACTION :**  Notice of Tribal Consultation.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) will host a Tribal Consultation to consult on ACF programs and tribal priorities.

**DATES :**  March 5–6, 2012.

**ADDRESSES :**  Renaissance Hotel, 999 9th Street NW., Washington, DC 20001.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Lillian A. Sparks, Commissioner, Administration for Native Americans at (202) 401–5590, by email at Lillian.sparks@acf.hhs.gov, or by mail at 370 L’Enfant Promenade SW., 2 West, Washington, DC 20447.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  On November 5, 2009, President Obama signed the ‘‘Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on Tribal Consultation.’’ The President stated that his Administration is committed to regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with tribal officials in policy decisions that have tribal implications, including, as an initial step, through complete and consistent implementation of Executive Order 13175.

The United States has a unique legal and political relationship with Indian tribal governments, established through and confirmed by the Constitution of the United States, treaties, statutes, executive orders, and judicial decisions. In recognition of that special relationship, pursuant to Executive Order 13175 of November 6, 2000, executive departments and agencies are charged with engaging in regular and meaningful consultation and collaboration with tribal officials in the development of Federal policies that have tribal implications, and are responsible for strengthening the government-to-government relationship between the United States and Indian tribes.

HHS has taken its responsibility to comply with Executive Order 13175 very seriously over the past decade, including the initial implementation of a Department-wide policy on tribal consultation and coordination in 1997, and through multiple evaluations and revisions of that policy, most recently in 2008. Many HHS agencies have already developed their own agency-specific consultation policies that complement the Department-wide efforts.

In August 2011, ACF issued its Consultation Policy in partnership with tribes. This policy will help our program offices and program office regional presence to better engage Federally Recognized Indian Tribes in the development or revision of policies, regulations, and proposed legislation that impact American Indians. ACF firmly believes that in order to create a good working relationship with tribes, it starts with requesting and receiving input from the tribes to ensure that we are meeting their needs and to establish a partnership that can carry us into the future.

Testimonies may be submitted no later than February 24, 2012, to: Lillian Sparks, Commissioner, Administration for Native Americans, 370 L’Enfant Promenade SW., Washington, DC 20447. anacommissioner@acf.hhs.gov

After 30 days, ACF will provide written responses to all testimonies received, including those that were presented in person. To register for the consultation, please submit your name, tribe or organization, phone, and email address to Ms. Romine.

In addition to the Tribal Consultation session, ACF will be hosting a half day Tribal Training and Technical Assistance session to provide information about ACF programs, and ACF’s Integration and Interoperability Initiative.
