Background

For the purposes of Title IV, the term

‘‘missing children’’ refers to children

who have been abducted by either a

family or nonfamily member and

includes children who have been

abducted within the United States and

those who have been abducted from the

United States and taken to or illegally

retained in a foreign country. The term

‘‘child exploitation’’ refers to any

criminal activity that focuses on

children as sexual objects and includes

sexual abuse, child pornography, and

prostitution.

Introduction to the Fiscal Year 2001

Proposed Program Plan

In 1984, Congress enacted the Missing

Children’s Assistance Act, which

established the Missing and Exploited

Children’s Program (MECP) within

OJJDP. Under the Act, OJJDP is

responsible for coordinating Federal

missing and exploited children

activities, providing a national resource

center and clearinghouse, and

supporting research, training, technical

assistance, and demonstration programs

to enhance the overall response to

missing children and their families.

In FY 2000, OJJDP’s Missing and

Exploited Children’s Program made

significant advances in the course of

meeting its responsibilities to provide

services to children, parents, educators,

prosecutors, law enforcement, and other

professionals and interested persons

working on child safety issues. Some of

the notable accomplishments are

summarized below.

MECP’s Team Hope Program

developed and published an

informational brochure and doubled its

cadre of specially trained parents who

help guide families searching for their

children. In FY 2000, the program

provided advice, mentoring, and

information about existing resources to

more than 800 families.

OJJDP chairs the Federal Agency Task

Force on Missing and Exploited

Children as part of its coordination

responsibilities. In FY 2000, the task

force continued to focus on enhancing

and coordinating the Federal response

to international child abductions. The

task force is developing a parent-toparent guide, which provides important

information to families seeking the

return of children abducted to or

illegally retained in foreign countries,

and a publication to guide law

enforcement officers in investigating

international parental abductions. Both

publications are expected to be available

in spring 2001.

In FY 2000, OJJDP’s Internet Crimes

Against Children Task Force (ICAC Task

Force) added 20 new regional task

forces and is now providing forensic,

investigative, and prevention services in

31 States. Under this program, State and

local law enforcement agencies develop

multijurisdictional and multiagency

responses to online victimization of

children. Since this program was

developed in 1998, task force agencies

have arrested more than 250 offenders,

identified hundreds of investigative

targets, seized more than 500

computers, provided training to more

than 3,800 prosecutors and law

enforcement officers, and reached

thousands of children, parents, and

educators with information about safe

online practices for children and

teenagers.

In FY 2000, the National Center for

Missing and Exploited Children’s

(NCMEC’s) CyberTipline reached the

20,000-report mark and played an

increasingly important role in ensuring

that reports of suspicious online activity

from children, parents, and private

citizens were received by the

appropriate law enforcement agencies.

In partnership with OJJDP, NCMEC

hosted a national investigative planning

session and provided two week-long

policy orientation seminars for the new

ICAC Task Forces. NCMEC also

expanded its Protecting Children Online

training program with a course tailored

to the specific needs of State and local

prosecutors and provided training for

more than 700 law enforcement

managers and investigators regarding

online crimes against children.

In FY 2000, through a cooperative

agreement with Fox Valley Technical

College (FVTC), OJJDP provided training

or technical assistance to more than

4,500 prosecutors and law enforcement,

social services, and health and family

services professionals. FVTC integrates

current research, state-of-the-art practice

and knowledge, and new technologies

into courses designed to increase skills

and abilities, enhance service

coordination and delivery, and improve

the investigation and handling of

missing and exploited children cases.

FVTC also provided specialized

technical assistance to State and local

practitioners and juvenile justice

agencies relating to Internet crimes

against children, information sharing,

response planning, child protection

legislation, and multidisciplinary team

development. In FY 2000, FVTC also

completed development of a new child

fatality investigative course to improve

the way child deaths are investigated.

Finally, the Deputy Attorney General

participated in the annual Missing

Children’s Day Ceremony to

commemorate America’s missing

children and to recognize extraordinary

efforts by law enforcement officers

working to reunite children and their

families. The NCMEC Law Enforcement

Officer of the Year Award was presented

to Captain David Bailey from the

Lancaster, Ohio, Police Department.

Fiscal Year 2001 Programs

In FY 2001, OJJDP proposes to

continue its concentration on programs

that are national in scope and that

promote awareness of and enhance the

Nation’s response to missing and

exploited children and their families.

While funds are not available for new

program initiatives in FY 2001, OJJDP is

interested in obtaining input from the

field on program and service needs that

will assist in its planning for both FY

2001 and future programming.

Continuation Programs

FY 2001 Title IV continuation

programs are summarized below.

Available funds, implementation sites,

and other descriptive information are

subject to change based on the plan

review process, grantee performance,

application quality, fund availability,

and other factors. No additional

applications will be solicited for any of

these programs in FY 2001.

National Resource Center and

Clearinghouse

In FY 2001, Congress provided

funding to continue and expand the

programs, services, and activities of the

National Center for Missing and

Exploited Children, a national resource

center and clearinghouse dedicated to

missing and exploited children and

their families. As provided in Title IV,

the functions of the Center include the

following activities:

• Provide a toll-free hotline (1–800–

843–5678) where citizens can report

investigative leads and parents and

other interested individuals can receive

information about missing children.

• Provide technical assistance to

parents, law enforcement, and other

agencies working on missing and

exploited children issues.

• Promote information sharing and

provide technical assistance by

networking with regional nonprofit

organizations, State missing children

clearinghouses, and law enforcement

agencies.

• Develop publications that contain

practical, timely information.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 94 / Tuesday, May 15, 2001 / Notices 26883

• Provide information regarding

programs offering free or low-cost

transportation services that assist in

reuniting children with their families.

In FY 2000, NCMEC’s toll-free hotline

received approximately 103,000 calls

ranging from citizens reporting

information about missing children to

requests from parents and law

enforcement for information and

publications. NCMEC also assisted in

the recovery of hundreds of children,

disseminated millions of missing

children photographs, and sponsored a

national training workshop for State

missing children clearinghouses and

relevant nonprofit organizations.

NCMEC also assists the State

Department in carrying out its Hague

Convention responsibilities by

processing incoming applications for

children abducted to the United States

and broadening its efforts to recover

American children abducted to foreign

countries. Both law enforcement and

parents may contact NCMEC for

assistance in locating missing children

who may have been trafficked. NCMEC

also provides general advice and

information to parents who need help

getting started in the search for a

missing child, which may include

children trafficked into the sex industry.

In FY 2000, NCMEC continued to

perform the national resource center

and clearinghouse functions and

broadened the Protecting Children

Online training program with a new

course for prosecutors. NCMEC and the

University of New Hampshire also

released a research report pertaining to

the frequency and prevalence of young

people receiving unwanted sexual

solicitations or being unwillingly

exposed to pornography via the Internet.

Funding will be provided to NCMEC

in FY 2001 to continue the functions of

the national resource center and

clearinghouse and operation of the

Jimmy Ryce Law Enforcement Training

Center which provides training to

improve investigative responses to

missing children cases.

Internet Crimes Against Children

Regional Task Force Program

In FY 2000, 20 new awards were

made to jurisdictions competing to

participate in the ICAC Task Force

program. The following agencies

received regional ICAC Task Force

awards: Massachusetts Department of

Public Safety; Michigan State Police;

Seattle, Washington, Police Department;

Utah Office of the Attorney General;

Nebraska State Patrol; Connecticut State

Police; Maryland State Police; Clark

County, Nevada (Las Vegas

Metropolitan Police Department);

Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Office

of Prosecuting Attorney; Knoxville,

Tennessee, Police Department; Alabama

Department of Public Safety; Cuyahoga

County, Ohio Office of Prosecuting

General; North Carolina Division of

Criminal Investigation; Oklahoma State

Bureau of Investigation; Phoenix,

Arizona, Police Department; Saint Paul,

Minnesota, Police Department; San

Diego, California, Police Department;

Sedgewick County, Kansas, Sheriff’s

Department; and the Wyoming Division

of Criminal Investigation.

Other FY 2000 ICAC Task Force

program activities included partnering

with SEARCH Group, Inc., of

Sacramento, CA, to develop and deliver

a hands-on investigative course and a

national 3-day training workshop

focusing on emerging technology and its

relevance to criminal activities and

ICAC investigative efforts. Also in FY

2000, OJJDP introduced the

Investigative Satellite Initiative (ISI),

which broadens the impact of the ICAC

Task Force program by building the

forensic and investigative capacities of

State and local law enforcement

agencies. Under the ISI program,

agencies lacking the resources to

commit to full-time regional task forces

may still acquire OJJDP funds to train

and equip local officers to respond to

child pornography and cyberenticement cases.

In FY 2001, OJJDP will continue to

fund the 30 regional ICAC Task Forces

and plans to make up to 35 new ISI

awards.

Missing and Exploited Children

Training and Technical Assistance

Program

In FY 1998, Fox Valley Technical

College (FVTC) was competitively

awarded a cooperative agreement to

provide training and technical

assistance to law enforcement,

prosecutors, and health and family

services professionals. The purpose of

this program is to ensure the provision

of up-to-date, practical training and

technical assistance to professionals

working on missing and exploited

children issues. Training focuses on

investigative techniques, interview

strategies, comprehensive response

planning, media relations, case

management, and other topics related to

missing and exploited children cases.

Under the Missing and Exploited

Children Training and Technical

Assistance Program, FVTC offers five

courses: Child Abuse and Exploitation

Investigative Techniques, Child Abuse

and Exploitation Team Investigation

Process, Child Sexual Exploitation

Investigations, Missing and Exploited

Children, and Responding to Missing

and Abducted Children. FVTC also

provides technical assistance and

support to the Federal Agency Task

Force on Missing and Exploited

Children and its related subcommittees;

develops documents and publications

relating to missing and exploited

children; convenes special focus groups

or meetings to facilitate communication

and problem solving among youth

service workers and professionals at the

Federal, State, and local levels; and

performs special projects as directed by

OJJDP. These projects include designing

response protocols for missing and

exploited children cases, assisting

communities to formulate policies and

procedures, and reviewing child

protection legislation. In FY 2001, FVTC

will continue to provide training and

technical assistance services related to

missing and exploited children issues.

No additional applications will be

solicited in FY 2001.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Related

Disorders Association’s Safe Return

Program

Since FY 1992, OJJDP has awarded

funds to the Safe Return Program of the

Alzheimer’s Disease and Related

Disorders Association of Chicago, IL.

This program facilitates the

identification and safe return of

memory-impaired individuals who are

at risk of wandering from their homes.

In FY 2000, the Safe Return Program

increased its registration database to

more than 53,000 individuals and

assisted in the return of 980 wanderers.

In FY 2001, the program will continue

the national registry program and the

24-hour toll-free hotline. In addition,

the Safe Return Program will expand

training and technical assistance efforts

focusing on law enforcement and

emergency personnel.

National Crime Information Center

(NCIC)

OJJDP proposes to continue to transfer

funds to the Department of Justice’s

Justice Management Division through a

reimbursable agreement to continue

NCMEC’s online access to the Federal

Bureau of Investigation’s National Crime

Information Center’s (NCIC’s) Wanted

and Missing Persons files. The ability to

verify NCIC entries, communicate with

law enforcement through the Interstate

Law Enforcement Telecommunication

System, and be notified of lifethreatening cases through the NCIC

flagging system is crucial to NCMEC’s

mission of providing advice and

technical assistance to law enforcement.

National Incidence Studies of Missing,

Abducted, and Thrownaway Children

(NISMART 2)

Under the Missing Children’s

Assistance Act, OJJDP is required to

conduct periodic studies of the scope of

the problem of missing children in the

United States. The first national study

was completed in 1988, with results

published in 1990. In FY 1995, OJJDP

funded NISMART 2, the second

national study of missing, abducted,

runaway, and thrownaway children in

the United States. Temple University

received funding in FY 1995 to conduct

this study, which builds on the

strengths and addresses some of the

weaknesses of the initial NISMART

study. Temple contracted with the

University of New Hampshire Survey

Research Laboratory and Westat, Inc., to

carry out specific components of the

study. The NISMART 2 study is (1)

revising and enhancing NISMART 1

definitions, (2) surveying approximately

23,000 households by telephone to

determine how many children are

missing on an annual basis, (3)

surveying law enforcement agencies to

determine the annual frequency of child

abductions, (4) surveying approximately

10,000 youth by telephone to

understand what happens during

missing children episodes, (5)

interviewing directors of residential

facilities and institutions to determine

how many residents run away, and (6)

analyzing data on thrownaway children

from a related survey of community

professionals. The findings from this

study will provide updated estimates on

the number of missing children each

year in the United States. Preliminary

findings will be available in late 2001,

and a final report will be completed in

FY 2002. An OJJDP Bulletin

documenting the scope of the research,

definition revisions, and methodology

changes was published in FY 2000.

OJJDP support for NISMART 2 will

continue in FY 2001. No additional

applications will be solicited in FY

2001.

Parent Resource Support Network

(Team Hope)

In FY 1997, OJJDP competitively

awarded a cooperative agreement to

Public Administration Services (PAS) to

develop and maintain a parent support

network, known as Team Hope. The

goal of this project is to stimulate

development of a network of screened

and trained parent volunteers to provide

assistance and advice to other parents

searching for their children.

In FY 2001, PAS will train additional

parent volunteers, continue to provide

mentoring services to families searching

for their missing children, and expand

services to parents searching for

children abducted to or illegally

retained in foreign countries. No

additional funding will be provided in

FY 2001.

Jimmy Ryce Law Enforcement Training

Center Program

In FY 1997, OJJDP, in partnership

with NCMEC and the FBI, and under a

grant to Fox Valley Technical College,

developed and implemented the Jimmy

Ryce Law Enforcement Training Center

(JRLETC) program. JRLETC offers two

law enforcement training tracks that are

designed to improve the national

investigative response to missing

children cases.

JRLETC’s Chief Executive Officer

(CEO) seminars approach missing

children cases from a management

perspective and offer information about

coordination and communication

issues, resource assessment, legal

concerns, and policy development for

police chiefs and sheriffs. The

Responding to Missing and Abducted

Children (REMAC) course offers

modules focusing on investigative

techniques for all aspects of missing

children cases. In FY 2000, 424 police

chiefs and sheriffs and 409 investigators

participated in at least one of the

JRLETC programs.

Congress appropriated additional

funds in FY 2001 to continue operation

of the Jimmy Ryce Law Enforcement

Training Center. OJJDP, NCMEC, the

FBI, and FVTC will continue to provide

training and technical assistance

through the JRLETC and the onsite

technical assistance program to respond

to the numerous requests for assistance

from JRLETC graduates.

Under the JRLETC appropriation,

OJJDP will award continuation funding

to FVTC to support regional REMAC

courses, with additional funds

supporting NCMEC’s CEO seminars and

onsite technical assistance program.

Association of Missing and Exploited

Children’s Organizations

OJJDP provides funds to the

Association of Missing and Exploited

Children’s Organizations (AMECO) to

improve—at the State and local levels—

the quality, availability, and

coordination of services provided to

missing and exploited children and

their families and to improve the

capacity and capabilities of missing

children nonprofit organizations.

Although many AMECO member

agencies serve parents and children who

are the victims of domestic abduction,

few are trained or equipped to provide

specialized services to those involved in

international abductions. Until recently,

little attention has been given to the

need to coordinate with local service

providers and expand their services for

children and their families.

In FY 2001, OJJDP proposes to

provide additional funds to AMECO to

hire full-time staff to support the

expansion of services for parental

abduction cases, provide parent-toparent mentoring, support bi-annual

meetings, and develop and disseminate

written protocols, policies, procedures,

and standards for nonprofit

organizations for both domestic and

international parental abduction cases.

No additional applications will be

solicited in FY 2001.

National Center on Child Fatality

Review

In FY 1997, OJJDP awarded a grant to

the National Center on Child Fatality

Review (NCCFR) in Los Angeles, CA, to

develop State and local uniform

reporting definitions and generic child

fatality review team protocols for

consideration by communities working

on enhancing the investigation of child

deaths.

NCCFR developed a model for

integrating data among the Criminal

Justice, Vital Statistics, and Social

Services Child Abuse Indices. NCCFR

also selected a National Advisory Board,

which is composed of representatives

from across the country and from

relevant disciplines.

In FY 2001, OJJDP will provide

continued support to NCCFR to

continue its information dissemination

and technical assistance activities

related to child fatality investigations.

No additional applications will be

solicited in FY 2001.

Investigative Case Management for

Missing Children Homicides

In FY 1993, OJJDP awarded a

competitive grant to the Washington

State Attorney General’s Office (WAGO)

to analyze the solvability factors of

missing children homicide

investigations. During the course of that

research, WAGO collected and analyzed

the specific characteristics of more than

550 missing child homicide cases.

These characteristics were recorded in

WAGO’s child homicide database.

In FY 2000, WAGO identified

additional cases to be included in the

database and began the interview data

collection process. In FY 2001, OJJDP

proposes to continue to provide funding

support to WAGO to ensure the vitality

and investigative relevance of its child

homicide database. This funding will

support continued data collection,

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 94 / Tuesday, May 15, 2001 / Notices 26885

database maintenance, and case

consultation activities. The database

information is available to Federal,

State, and local law enforcement

agencies to help them identify cases

with similar characteristics. Law

enforcement database inquiries can be

made by calling WAGO at 800–345–

2793.

No additional funding will be

provided in FY 2001.

FBI Child Abduction and Serial Killer

Unit

In FY 1997, OJJDP entered into an

interagency agreement with the FBI’s

Child Abduction and Serial Killer Unit

(CASKU) to expand research to broaden

law enforcement’s understanding of

homicidal pedophiles’ selection and

luring of their victims, their planning

activities, and their efforts to escape

prosecution. This information is being

used by the FBI and OJJDP in training

and technical assistance programs. FY

2000 activities included refining the

interview protocol, identifying

incarcerated offenders who met

requirements of the research criteria,

conducting field tests of the interview

protocol, and starting the interviews.

In FY 2001, CASKU will enhance data

collection efforts and continue data

analysis.

National Child Victimization

Conference Support

In FY 2001, OJJDP will provide

funding support to national conferences

focusing on child abduction,

exploitation, and victimization issues.

These conferences frequently include

workshops on child prostitution. This

funding support will include

conferences sponsored by the National

Children’s Advocacy Center, Dallas

Police Department and Children’s

Advocacy Center, the American

Professional Society on the Abuse of

Children, and the San Diego Child

Maltreatment Conference.

BILLING CODE 7555–01–M

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–272 and 50–311]

PSEG Nuclear LLC; Salem Nuclear

Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2;

Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is considering

issuance of an amendment to the

Facility Operating License (FOL) Nos.

DPR–70 and DPR–75 issued to PSEG

Nuclear LLC (the licensee) for operation

of Salem Nuclear Generating Station

(Salem), Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The facility

is located at the licensee’s site on the

southern end of Artificial Island in

Lower Alloways Creek Township,

Salem County, New Jersey. Salem, New

Jersey is located approximately 7.5

miles northeast of the site.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of the Proposed Action

The proposed license amendment

would revise the FOL and Technical

Specifications (TS) of Salem, Unit Nos.

1 and 2, to allow the licensee to increase

the licensed core power level of each

unit from 3,411 megawatts thermal

(MWt) to 3,459 MWt, which represents

a 1.4 percent increase in the allowable

thermal power. Salem Unit No. 1 was

granted conditional authorization for

power production by its FOL issued on

August 13, 1976. The conditions

provided a sequential approach to full

power with NRC approval at various

stages. Full power operation of Unit No.

1 at 3,338 MWt core power was

authorized by letter dated April 6, 1977.

Amendment No. 71 to the original FOL

was issued on February 6, 1986, which

authorized a power uprate for Unit No.

1 to 3,411 MWt. Salem Unit No. 2 was

authorized for power production at

3,411 MWt with issuance of the FOL on

May 20, 1981. In addition to the power

uprate, the proposed license

amendment would allow the licensee to

remove Attachment 1 from the Unit No.

1 FOL, and to make editorial changes to

the TS Bases.

The proposed action is in accordance

with the licensee’s application for

license amendment dated November 10,

2000, as supplemented by letters dated

December 5, 2000, March 28 and April

2, 2001, and April 20, 2001 (LRN–01–

0099, LRN–01–0115, and LRN–01–

0123).

The Need for the Proposed Action

The proposed action will allow an

increase in power generation at Salem,

Unit Nos. 1 and 2 to provide additional

electrical power for distribution to the

grid. In certain circumstances power

uprate has been recognized as a safe and

cost-effective method to increase

generating capacity.

The proposed action also will allow

the removal of Attachment 1 from the

Salem Unit No. 1 FOL and editorial

changes to the TS Bases. Attachment 1

to the Salem Unit No. 1 FOL identifies

incomplete preoperational tests, startup

tests and other items which were

required to be completed before

proceeding to certain specified

Operational Modes during the initial

full power startup of Salem Unit No. 1.

The NRC authorized full power

operation of Salem Unit No. 1 by letter

dated April 6, 1977; therefore, the

requirements identified in the

attachment are no longer applicable.

Editorial changes will provide

corrections to references and

typographical errors.

Action
