GENERAL SERVICES

ADMINISTRATION

Performance Review Boards for Small

Client Agencies Services by the

General Services Administration,

Names of Members

Sec. 4314(c)(1) through (5) of Title 5

U.S.C., requires each agency to

establish, in accordance with

regulations prescribed by The Office of

Personnel Management, one or more

Performance Review Boards. The board

shall review and evaluate the initial

appraisal by the supervisor of a senior

executive’s performance, along with any

recommendations to the appointing

authority relative to the performance of

the senior executive. The Performance

Review Board also shall make

recommendations as to whether the

career executive should be recertified,

conditionally recertified, or not

recertified.

As provided under Section 601 of the

Economy Act of 1932, amended 31

U.S.C. 1525, the General Services

Administration through its Agency

Liaison Division, provides various

personnel management services to a

number of diverse Presidential

commission, committees, boards and

other agencies through reimbursable

administrative support agreements. This

notice is processed on behalf of the

client agencies, and it supersedes all

other notices in the Federal Register on

this subject. Because of their small size,

a Performance Review Board register

has been established in which SES

members from the client agencies

participate. The Board is composed of

SES members from various agencies.

From this register of names, the head of

each client agency will appoint

executives to a specific board to serve a

particular client agency.

The members who names appear on

the SES Performance Review Board

standing roster to serve client agencies

are:

Diseases Transmitted Through the

Food Supply

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC), Department of Health

and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice of annual update of list

of infectious and communicable

diseases that are transmitted through

handling the food supply and the

methods by which such diseases are

transmitted.

SUMMARY: Section 103(d) of the

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,

Public Law 101–336, requires the

Secretary to publish a list of infectious

and communicable diseases that are

transmitted through handling the food

supply and to review and update the list

annually. The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC) published

a final list on August 16, 1991 (56 FR

40897) and updates on September 8,

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 27, 2000 / Notices 58089

1992 (57 FR 40917); January 13, 1994

(59 FR 1949); August 15, 1996 (61 FR

42426); September 22, 1997 (62 FR

49518); September 15, 1998 (63 FR

49359) and September 21, 1999 (64 FR

51127). The final list has been reviewed

in light of new information and has

been revised as set forth below.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 27, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.

Art Liang, National Center for Infectious

Diseases, Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention (CDC), 1600 Clifton

Road, NE., Mailstop G–24, Atlanta,

Georgia 30333, telephone (404) 639–

2213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

103(d) of the Americans with

Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C.

12113(d), requires the Secretary of

Health and Human Services to:

1. Review all infectious and

communicable diseases which may be

transmitted through handling the food

supply;

2. Publish a list of infectious and

communicable diseases which are

transmitted through handling the food

supply;

3. Publish the methods by which such

diseases are transmitted; and,

4. Widely disseminate such

information regarding the list of

diseases and their modes of

transmissibility to the general public.

Additionally, the list is to be updated

annually. Since the last publication of

the list on September 21, 1999 (64 FR

51127), new information has been

reviewed.

Since the transmission of rotavirus is

person to person via fecal/oral contact

and there is no data to suggest that food

is the vehicle for transmission, rotavirus

was deleted.

I. Pathogens Often Transmitted by Food

Contaminated by Infected Persons Who

Handle Food, and Modes of

Transmission of Such Pathogens

The contamination of raw ingredients

from infected food-producing animals

and cross-contamination during

processing are more prevalent causes of

foodborne disease than is contamination

of foods by persons with infectious or

contagious diseases. However, some

pathogens are frequently transmitted by

food contaminated by infected persons.

The presence of any one of the

following signs or symptoms in persons

who handle food may indicate infection

by a pathogen that could be transmitted

to others through handling the food

supply: diarrhea, vomiting, open skin

sores, boils, fever, dark urine, or

jaundice. The failure of food-handlers to

wash hands (in situations such as after

using the toilet, handling raw meat,

cleaning spills, or carrying garbage, for

example), wear clean gloves, or use

clean utensils is responsible for the

foodborne transmission of these

pathogens. Non-foodborne routes of

transmission, such as from one person

to another, are also major contributors

in the spread of these pathogens.

Pathogens that can cause diseases after

an infected person handles food are the

following:

Caliciviruses (Norwalk and Norwalklike viruses)

Hepatitis A virus

Salmonella typhi

Shigella species

Staphylococcus aureus

Streptococcus pyogenes

II. Pathogens Occasionally Transmitted

by Food Contaminated by Infected

Persons Who Handle Food, But Usually

Transmitted by Contamination at the

Source or in Food Processing or by

Non-foodborne Routes

Other pathogens are occasionally

transmitted by infected persons who

handle food, but usually cause disease

when food is intrinsically contaminated

or cross-contaminated during processing

or preparation. Bacterial pathogens in

this category often require a period of

temperature abuse to permit their

multiplication to an infectious dose

before they will cause disease in

consumers. Preventing food contact by

persons who have an acute diarrheal

illness will decrease the risk of

transmitting the following pathogens:

Campylobacter jejuni

Cryptosporidium parvum

Entamoeba histolytica

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Giardia lamblia

Nontyphoidal Salmonella

Taenia solium

Vibrio cholerae 01

Yersinia enterocolitica

Title: Child Care Case-Level Report.

OMB No.: 0970–0167.

Description: Section 658K of the Child

Care and Development Block Grant Act

of 1990 (P.L. 105–108, 42 U.S.C 9858)

requires that States and Territories

submit monthly case-level data on the

children and families receiving direct

services under the Child Care and

Development Fund. The implementing

regulations for the statutorily required

reporting are at 45 CFR 98.70. Case-level

reports, submitted quarterly or monthly

(at grantee option) include monthly

sample or full population case-level

data. The data elements to be included

in these reports are represented in the

ACF–801. Disaggregate data is used to

determine program and participant

characteristics as well as costs and

levels of child care services provided.

This provides ACF with the information

necessary to make reports to Congress,

address national child care needs, offer

technical assistance to grantees, meet

performance measures, and conduct

research. Consistent with the statute and

regulations, ACF requests extensions of

the ACF–801.

Respondents: States, the District of

Columbia, and Territories including

Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,

American Samoa, and the Northern

Marianna Islands.
