SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each 

decade since 1979, the U.S. Department 

of Health and Human Services (HHS) 

has published a comprehensive set of 

national public health objectives. 

Known as Healthy People, this initiative 

has been grounded in the notion that 

setting objectives and monitoring 

progress can motivate action. As it 

prepares to produce objectives for the 

next decade, HHS seeks to ensure that 

they are scientifically valid, relevant, 

and sustainable. The objectives should 

be produced though a process that 

fosters the cooperation and commitment 

of both the public and private sectors. 

The Secretary’s Advisory Committee 

on National Health Promotion and 

Disease Prevention Objectives for 2020 

is established to provide advice and 

assistance to the Secretary and HHS in 

the development of health promotion 

and disease prevention objectives to 

improve the health of Americans by 

2020. The Committee shall advise the 

Secretary regarding national health 

promotion and disease prevention 

initiatives, in particular the work to 

develop goals and objectives to improve 

the health status and reduce health risks 

for Americans. The Committee shall be 

charged to: Provide to the Secretary 

advice and consultation to facilitate the 

process of developing and 

implementing national health 

promotion and disease prevention goals 

and objectives; and provide advice to 

the Secretary about the initiatives to 

occur during the initial implementation 

phase of the goals and objectives. 

The Committee will convene to meet, 

at a minimum, one time per year. It is 

expected to begin meeting by December 

2007. Pursuant to the requirements of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

the meetings will be open to the public 

except as determined otherwise by the 

Secretary or designee, in keeping with 

the guidelines under Government in the 

Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c). 

Individuals selected for appointment 

to the Committee shall be appointed to 

serve for the duration of the Committee. 

Unless renewed, the Committee will 

terminate two years from the date the 

Committee charter is filed. Committee 

members will be paid travel and per 

diem expenses in accordance with 

standard travel regulations, but will not 

receive compensation for their service. 

Prospective members of the 

Secretary’s Advisory Committee on 

National Health Promotion and Disease 

Prevention Objectives for 2020 should 

be knowledgeable of current scientific 

research in health promotion, disease 

prevention, and public health 

benchmarking and be respected experts 

in their fields. They should be familiar 

with the purpose and use of Healthy 

People or similar indicator sets and 

have demonstrated interest in the 

public’s health and well-being through 

their work, research, and/or educational 

endeavors. Expertise is sought in 

specific specialty areas related to health 

promotion or disease prevention, 

including but not limited to: Health 

policy, state and local public health, 

business, outcomes research, health 

economics, health communications, 

special populations, biostatistics, 

international health, and epidemiology 

from a variety of public, private, 

foundation, and academic settings. 

Nominations: HHS will consider 

nominations for Committee membership 

of individuals qualified to carry out the 

above-mentioned tasks. The following 

information should be included in the 

package of material submitted for each 

individual being nominated for 

consideration: (1) A letter of nomination 

that clearly states the name and 

affiliation of the nominee, the basis for 

the nomination (i.e., specific attributes 

which qualify the nominee for service in 

this capacity), and a statement that the 

nominee is willing to serve as a member 

of the Committee; (2) the nominator’s 

name, address, daytime telephone 

number, and electronic mail address, 

and the address, daytime telephone 

number, and electronic mail address of 

the individual being nominated; and (3) 

a current copy of the nominee’s 

curriculum vitae. The names of Federal 

employees should not be nominated for 

consideration of appointment to this 

Committee. 

Individuals can nominate themselves 

for consideration of appointment to the 

Committee. All nominations must 

include the required information. 

Incomplete nominations will not be 

processed for consideration. 

Equal opportunity practices, in line 

with HHS policies, will be followed in 

all membership appointments to the 

Committee. To ensure that 

recommendations of the Committee take 

into account the needs of the diverse 

groups served by HHS, membership 

shall include, to the extent practicable, 

individuals with demonstrated ability to 

represent minorities, women, and 

persons with disabilities. 

The Standards of Ethical Conduct for 

Employees of the Executive Branch are 

applicable to individuals who are 

appointed as members of Federal 

advisory committees. Individuals 

appointed to serve as members of 

Federal advisory committees are 

classified as special Government 

employees (SGEs). SGEs are 

Government employees for the purposes 

of the conflict of interest laws. 

Therefore, individuals appointed to 

serve as members of the Secretary’s 

Advisory Committee on National Health 

Promotion and Disease Prevention 

Objectives for 2020 are subject to an 

ethics review. The ethics review is 

conducted to determine if the 

individual has any interest and/or 

activities in the private sector that may 

conflict with performance of their 

official duties as a member of the 

Committee. Individuals appointed to 

serve as members of the Committee will 

be required to disclose information 

regarding financial holdings, 

consultancies and research grants and/ 

or contracts.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Proposed Projects 

Title: DHHS/ACF/ASPE/DOL 

Enhanced Services for the Hard-toEmploy Demonstration and Evaluation: 

Rhode Island 36-Month Data Collection. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Enhanced Services 

for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration 

and Evaluation Project (HtE) seeks to 

learn what services improve the 

employment prospects of low-income 

persons who face serious obstacles to 

steady work. The project is sponsored 

by the Office of Planning, Research and 

Evaluation (OPRE) within the 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF) and the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Planning and 

Evaluation (ASPE), both within the U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS), and the U.S. 

Department of Labor (DOL). 

The HtE project is a multi-year, multisite evaluation that employs and 

experimental longitudinal research 

design to test four strategies aimed at 

promoting employment among hard-toemploy populations. The four include: 

(1) Intensive care management and job 

services program for Rhode Island 

Medicaid recipients with serious 

depression; (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 participants receiving Temporary 

Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); 

and (4) two-generational Early Head 

Start (EHS) services providing enhanced 

self-sufficiency services for parents, 

parent skills training, and high-quality 

child care for children in low-income 

families in Kansas and Missouri. 

The purpose of this document is to 

request public comment on the 

proposed 36-month participant survey 

in Rhode Island for participating parents 

and their children. 

The follow-up survey and direct child 

assessments at the 36-month follow-up 

in Rhode Island will be used for the 

following purposes: Detecting the longterm effects of a telephonic care 

management intervention on parents’

depression and general health, as well 

as their employment, income, and 

earnings; detecting effects of a 

telephonic care management 

intervention for parents’ depression on 

parents’ parenting and on children’s 

health, behavior, and development over 

time, and determining the extent to 

which long-term intervention effects on 

children’s development can be 

attributed to changes in their parents’

depressive symptomatology that result 

from the intervention. 

Respondents: The respondents to 

these follow-up surveys will be lowincome parents from the Rhode Island 

site currently participating in the HtE 

Project, and some of their children.
