assessment into the programs. ORR is 

requesting renewal of OMB clearance 

for a survey of refugees that is collecting 

data on refugees’ employment and 

earnings outcomes. Survey interviews 

began in July 2006, and are still 

ongoing. The survey is being conducted 

in three cities: Houston, Miami, and 

Sacramento. The survey relies on a 

mixed-mode data collection method that 

involves both telephone and in-person 

interviews. If individuals cannot be 

reached by phone, an attempt is made 

to contact them in person. Three 

hundred refugees from a randomly 

selected sample in each site will 

complete the survey, for a total of 900 

refugees. 

While locating and interviewing this 

population was expected to be difficult 

due to their high mobility, achieving the 

goal of 900 complete responses needed 

for reliable analysis, while maintaining 

reasonable response rates, has proven 

more time-consuming than expected. As 

of December 1, 2006, 547 refugees have 

already completed the survey, and 

approximately 64 more completions are 

expected in 2006, meaning that about 

289 interviews would occur in 2007. 

Consequently, ORR is requesting 

clearance to continue the survey into 

2007. 

Respondents: Refugees and related 

populations that qualify for RSS/TAG 

services who entered the United States 

between October 1999 and September 

2004.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: DHHS/ACF/ASPE/DOL 

Enhanced Services for the Hard-toEmploy Demonstration and Evaluation: 

Rhode Island 15-Month Survey 

Amendment. 

OMB No. 0970–0276. 

Description: The Enhanced Services 

for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration 

and Evaluation Project (HtE) seeks to 

learn what works in this area to date 

and is explicitly designed to build on 

past research by rigorously testing a 

wide variety of approaches to promote 

employment and improve family 

functioning and child well-being. The 

HtE project is designed to help 

Temporary Assistance for Needy 

Families (TANF) recipients, former 

TANF recipients, or low-income parents 

who are hard-to-employ. The project is 

sponsored by the Office of Planning, 

Research and Evaluation (OPRE) of the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Planning and 

Evaluation (ASPE) in the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), and the U.S. 

Department of Labor (DOL). 

The evaluation involves an 

experimental, random assignment 

design in four sites, testing a diverse set 

of strategies to promote employment for 

low-income parents who face serious 

obstacles to employment. The four 

include: (1) Intensive care management 

to facilitate the use of evidence-based 

treatment for major depression among 

parents receiving Medicaid in Rhode 

Island; (2) job readiness training, 

worksite placements, job coaching, job 

development and other training 

opportunities for recent parolees in New 

York City; (3) pre-employment services 

and transitional employment for longterm TANF participants in Philadelphia; 

and (4) home- and center-based care, 

enhanced with self-sufficiency services, 

for low-income families who have 

young children or are expecting in 

Kansas and Missouri. 

Materials for follow-up surveys for 

each of these sites were previously 

submitted to OMB and were approved. 

The purpose of this submission is to add 

physiological measures to the follow-up 

effort to the Rhode Island study. 

Respondents: The respondents to this 

component of the Rhode Island followup survey will be low-income parents 

and their children from the Rhode 

Island site currently participating in the 

HtE Project. As described in the prior 

OMB submission, these parents are 

Medicaid recipients between the ages of 

18 and 45 receiving Medicaid through 

the managed care provider United 

Behavioral Health (UBH) in Rhode 

Island who meet study criteria with 

regard to their risk for depression. 

Children are the biological, adopted, 

and step-children of these parents, 

between the ages of 1 and 18 years of 

age.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request; Threshold of 

Regulation for Substances Used in 

Food-Contact Articles 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA) is announcing an 

opportunity for public comment on the 

proposed collection of certain 

information by the agency. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the 

PRA), Federal agencies are required to 

publish notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each proposed 

extension of an existing collection of 

information, and to allow 60 days for 

public comment in response to the 

notice. This notice solicits comments on 

requests for exemption from the food 

additive listing regulation requirements 

that are submitted under part 170 (21 

CFR part 170). 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information by March 9, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information to: http://www.fda.gov/ 

dockets/ecomments. Submit written 

comments on the collection of 

information to the Division of Dockets 

Management (HFA–305), Food and Drug 

Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 

1061, Rockville, MD 20852. All 

comments should be identified with the 

docket number found in brackets in the 

heading of this document. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jonna Capezzuto, Office of the Chief 

Information Officer (HFA–250), Food 

and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers 

Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301–827–

4659. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, FDA is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, FDA invites 

comments on these topics: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FDA’s functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Threshold of Regulation for Substances 

Used in Food-Contact Articles—21 CFR 

170.39 (OMB Control Number 0910– 

0298)—Extension 

Under section 409(a) of the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) 

(21 U.S.C. 348(a)), the use of a food 

additive is deemed unsafe unless one of 

the following is applicable: (1) It 

conforms to an exemption for 

investigational use under section 409(j) 

of the act, (2) it conforms to the terms 

of a regulation prescribing its use, or (3) 

in the case of a food additive which 

meets the definition of a food-contact 

substance in section 409(h)(6) of the act, 

there is either a regulation authorizing 

its use in accordance with section 

409(a)(3)(A) or an effective notification 

in accordance with section 409(a)(3)(B). 

The regulations in § 170.39 (21 CFR 

170.39) established a process that 

provides the manufacturer with an 

opportunity to demonstrate that the 

likelihood or extent of migration to food 

of a substance used in a food-contact 

article is so trivial that the use need not 

be the subject of a food additive listing
