B. Additional Provisions Affecting 

Routine Use Disclosures. This system 

contains Protected Health Information 

(PHI) as defined by Department of

these routine uses may only be made if,

‘‘Standards for Privacy of Individually 

Identifiable Health Information.’’

In addition, our policy will be to 

prohibit release even if not directly 

identifiable information, except 

pursuant to one of the routine uses or 

if required by law, if we determine there 

is a possibility that an individual can be 

identified through implicit deduction 

based on small cell sizes (instances 

where the patient population is so small 

that individuals who are familiar with 

the enrollees could, because of the small 

size, use this information to deduce the 

identity of the beneficiary).

mentoring relationships with evacuated 

children of incarcerated persons in their

Prisoners Programs being funded, the 

Family and Youth Services Bureau is 

funding eleven Training and Technical 

Assistance providers that will provide 

specialized technical assistance to the 

Mentoring Children of Prisoners 

Program grantees in their respective 

regions. The eleven Training and 

Technical Assistance Providers are well 

positioned to assist the seventeen 

Mentoring Children of Prisoners 

Programs in identifying children of 

incarcerated persons who are new to a 

community, developing a plan to 

provide them with mentoring support 

and coordinating services with other 

programs, Federal staff and their 

contractors.

Head Start Bureau; Unsolicited 

Proposal on Gubernatorial Leadership 

for Early Care and Education 

AGENCY: Head Start Bureau, 

Administration for Children and 

Families (ACF), Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Award Announcement, 3 Year 

Unsolicited Application Project. 

CFDA#: The Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) number for this program 

is 93.600. The title is Unsolicited Proposal on 

Gubernatorial Leadership for Early Care and 

Education. 

Legislative Authority: Grants to enhance 

collaboration efforts between Head Start and 

other early childhood providers are 

authorized by The Head Start Action (Pub. L. 

05–285). 

Amount of Award: $600,000. 

Project Period: 11/1/05–10/31/08. 

Summary and Purpose: Notice is 

hereby given that the Head Start Bureau 

will award grant funds without 

competition to the National Governor’s 

Association Center for Best Practices. 

The grant is an unsolicited service grant 

award that is within legislative 

authorities and that proposes activities 

that may be lawfully supported through 

grant mechanisms. This application is of 

merit, and the project will have 

significant impact on State efforts to 

design, implement, and improve early 

childhood systems of care and 

education. 

The National Governor’s Association 

Center for Best Practices proposes to 

work with Governors to develop and 

implement new strategic early 

childhood plans in order to improve 

quality and coordination of early 

childhood care and education. The NGA 

Center will conduct an independent and 

confidential audit of existing early 

childhood efforts in four states, provide 

implementation recommendations to 

early childhood stakeholders, and 

publish and disseminate findings and 

recommendations to the broader policy 

community. The NGA Center has a 

history of work with Governors on 

special early childhood initiatives and 

has the capacity to take state 

coordination efforts to the highest level 

of policy and funding decision making. 

This unique approach will provide 

valuable information on effective 

strategies and improvements in quality 

and service delivery, yielding valuable 

information on early childhood 

investments for States and Federal 

programs.
