BILLING CODE 6210-01-F

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

Office of the Secretary

Office of Minority Health; Amendment

to the Notice of a Cooperative

Agreement With Central State

University

This notice withdraws in its entirety

and supersedes the Notice of a

Cooperative Agreement With Central

State University as published on Friday,

February 7, 1997, in Federal Register,

Vol. 62, No. 26, pages 5833–5835.

The Office of Minority Health (OMH)

announces that it will enter into a

cooperative agreement with Central

State University, representing the

Minority Male (Min-Male) Consortium,

to support a Family and Community

Violence Prevention Program.

The purpose of the Family and

Community Violence Prevention

Program is to positively impact the

increasing incidence of violence and

abusive behavior in low income, at-risk

communities through the mobilization

of community partners to address these

issues. In order to have an effect on this

trend, interventions conducted through

partnerships must be directed to the

individual, the family and the

community as a whole, and must be

designed to impact the academic and

personal development of those who are

at risk.

This cooperative agreement is

intended to demonstrate the merit of

programs that involve partnerships

between community institutions and

Family Life Centers to spearhead a

community effort to improve the quality

of life for all community residents.

Authority

This cooperative agreement is

authorized under section 1707(d)(1) of

the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C.

300u-6(d)(1).

Availability of Funds

Approximately $4,800,000 (indirect

and direct costs) is available in FY 1997

to fund this cooperative agreement. The

project is expected to begin on

September 30, 1997, for a 12 month

budget period within a project period

not to exceed 3 years. Continuation

awards within the project period will be

made on the basis of satisfactory

performance and availability of funds.

Up to 19 institutions will be selected to

receive awards of approximately

$200,000 per year to support family and

community violence prevention

programs. Special consideration will be

given to those institutions which

currently have Family Life Centers

supported by the OMH/Central State

University cooperative agreement.

These institutions are collectively

known as the Minority Male (Min-Male)

Consortium.

Background

Assistance will be provided only to

Central State University of Wilberforce,

Ohio in its management capacity on

behalf of the Minority Male (Min-Male)

Consortium and the Advisory Board. No

other applications are solicited. Central

State University is uniquely qualified to

administer this cooperative agreement

because it has:

1. Developed an infrastructure to

manage a multi-faceted demonstration

program coordinated among widely

dispersed institutions of higher

education addressing the issues of

family and community violence;

2. In place a management staff with

the background and experience to guide,

develop and evaluate a multimillion

dollar demonstration program;

3. Established a relationship with a

network of institutions of higher

education actively involved in programs

to prevent family and community

violence;

4. Demonstrated an ability to bring

together individual schools to function

as a cohesive unit in addressing

common issues and goals;

5. Experience in carrying out a

program designed to reduce the

incidence of violence and crime; and

6. Demonstrated through past

activities its ability to pull together

experts in the field of violence
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 49 / Thursday, March 13, 1997 / Notices 11897

prevention to serve in an advisory

capacity to a multi-year project.

Violent and abusive behavior exacts a

large toll on the physical and mental

health of Americans. According to the

Healthy People 2000 Midcourse Review

and 1995 Revisions, the United States

ranks first among industrialized nations

in violent death rates, with homicide

and suicide claiming more than 50,000

lives each year. An additional 2.2

million people are injured by violent

assaults annually. According to this

report, morbidity and mortality due to

violence show some disturbing trends.

Youth are increasingly involved as both

perpetrators and victims of violence. In

1992, the homicide rate for young black

men exceeded that of young white men

by as much as 8 times. Women are

frequent targets of both physical and

sexual assault, often perpetrated by

spouses, ex-spouses, intimate partners,

or others known to them. Women with

family incomes under $9,999 had the

highest rates of violence attributable to

an intimate while those with family

incomes over $30,000 had the lowest

rates.

Blacks are disproportionately

represented among both violent crime

offenders and victims. While blacks

constituted 12 percent of the U.S.

population in 1993, in that same year

they represented 58 percent of persons

arrested for murder, 41 percent arrested

for rape, 62 percent arrested for robbery,

and 40 percent arrested for aggravated

assault (Bureau of Justice Statistics,

1994). Arrest data also indicate that

violent crime, especially murder,

involve intraracial victim-offender

relationship patterns. In 1993, 94

percent of black murder victims were

killed by black offenders and 84 percent

of white murder victims were killed by

white offenders (Department of Justice,

1993).

According to the National Center on

Child Abuse and Neglect, an estimated

2.9 million children were reported as

alleged victims of maltreatment in 1994.

Of the investigation dispositions, 1.0

million were determined to have been

victims of either substantiated or

indicated maltreatment. Of these, 53

percent suffered from neglect, 26

percent were physically abused, 14

percent were sexually abused, 3 percent

suffered from medical neglect, 5 percent

from emotional maltreatment, 15

percent from other types of

maltreatment, and 4 percent unknown.

About 27 percent were 3 years old or

younger, 20 percent were age 4 to 6, 17

percent were 7 to 9, 15 percent were

between 10 and 12, and 21 percent were

teenagers (13 to 18). Of those cases

where states reported race/ethnicity, 56

percent of the victims were white, 26

percent were African American, 9

percent Hispanic, 2 percent Native

American, and less than 1 percent

Asian/Pacific Islander.

According to the National Committee

for Prevention of Child Abuse, abused

children have been found to have lower

cognitive maturity and more severe

behavior problems than children who

have not been abused. Abused children

are also at increased risk for the

extremes of risk-seeking or risk-avoiding

behaviors. Maltreated children

experience significant problems

including poor social skills,

aggressiveness and emotional

unresponsiveness.

Troublesome and delinquent children

are more likely to come from troubled

families and neighborhoods.

Delinquency is not a problem that

appears alone. Delinquent youths are

also at higher-than-average risk for drug

use, problems in school, dropping out of

school, and teenage pregnancy (Elliott,

Huizinga, and Menard, 1989;

Greenwood, 1993). The recognition that

problems in school or early dropout are

primary risk factors for juvenile

delinquency and drug use have led to

the development of a wide range of

interventions. Unfortunately, many of

these efforts have not been evaluated,

and most of those evaluated have

produced negligible impacts (Tolan and

Guerra, 1994), particularly on later

delinquency. When asked, students who

have been victims of violence and those

at greater risk of being victims are more

likely to express concern about relations

with their parents. One-fourth of

students (25%) say they sometimes

wonder if their parents really love them.

Minority students are more concerned

than white students. One-third of

African-American (32%), and Hispanic

(34%) students say this statement is true

for them as compared with one in five

white students (22%).

The 1985 Report of the Secretary’s

Task Force on Black and Minority

Health provided a national focus on

violence as a leading public health

problem in the United States. Since that

time, public health strategies to prevent

death and disability due to violent and

abusive behavior have emerged across

the country. The Healthy People 2000

Midcourse Review and 1995 Revisions

identified the following strategies for

addressing violence in communities at

high risk: promoting awareness of

violence as a public health problem,

taking more aggressive steps to counter

the high rates of physical abuse and

violence against women, offering

alternative school and community-based

activities for youth, and increasing

collaboration and partnerships between

State and local public health agencies

with mental health and substance abuse

programs.

Project Requirements

The cooperative agreement will

include substantive involvement of both

the recipient and the Federal

Government. At a minimum, the

following expectations are anticipated:

Recipient Responsibilities

(1) Central State University will

solicit proposals from four year

undergraduate institutions historically

within a 10 mile radius of the target

community to facilitate access to the

program’s services/activities on a

regular basis. The FLC can be located at

a site of the undergraduate school, or at

a facility of a community institution

with which it has established a

partnership. The FLC is to be open year

round, with activities/services offered at

various times (e.g. weekdays, evenings,

weekends) to accommodate the target

group(s).

• Offer project activities in the areas

of Academic Development, Personal

Development, Cultural/Recreational

Enrichment, and Career Development.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) is announcing

that the proposed collection of

information listed below has been

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

clearance under the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Submit written comments on the

collection of information by April 14,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments

on the collection of information to

Office of Information and Regulatory

Affairs, OMB, New Executive Office

Bldg., 725 17th St. NW., rm. 10235,

Washington, DC 20503, Attn: Desk

Officer for FDA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

compliance with section 3507 of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3507), FDA has submitted the

following proposed collection of

information to OMB for review and

clearance.

Blood Establishment Registration and

Product Listing, Form FDA 2830 (21

CFR Part 607) (OMB Control Number

0910–0052)

Under section 510 of the Federal

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act)

(21 U.S.C. 360), any person owning or

operating an establishment that

manufactures, prepares, propagates,

compounds, or processes a drug or

device must register with the Secretary

of Health and Human Services, on or

before December 31 of each year, his or

her name, place of business and all such

establishments, and submit, among

other information, a listing of all drug or

device products manufactured,

prepared, propagated, compounded, or

processed by him or her for commercial

distribution. In 21 CFR part 607, FDA

has issued regulations implementing

these requirements for manufacturers of

human blood and blood products.

Under these regulations, the agency

seeks the information required by the

act, including the location of the

facility, name of the reporting official,

type of ownership, type of

establishment, and identification of

blood and blood products being

manufactured. Among other uses, this

information assists FDA in its

inspections of facilities, and its

collection is essential to the overall

regulatory scheme designed to ensure

the safety of the nation’s blood supply.

Form FDA 2830, Blood Establishment

Registration and Product Listing, is used

to collect this information. The likely

respondents are blood banks, blood

collection facilities, and blood

component manufacturing facilities.

FDA estimates the burden of this

collection of information as follows:

Based upon the past experience of the

Center for Biologics Evaluation and

Research, Division of Blood

Applications, in regulatory blood

establishment registration and product

listing with new blood banks, the time

needed for industry to complete the

FDA 2830 is estimated to be 1 hour. For

annual re-registration of blood banks,

the time needed for industry to

complete the FDA 2830 form is

estimated to be one-half hour because

re-registrants only need to refer to their

files or written instructions for a small

portion of the information required.

Blood banks should be familiar with the

regulations and registration

requirements to fill out this form.
