Notice of Computer Matching Program 

A. Participating Agencies 

The participating agencies are OCSE, 

which is the ‘‘recipient agency,’’ and 

state agencies administering TANF 

programs, which are the ‘‘source 

agencies.’’ 

B. Purpose of the Matching Program 

The purpose of the matching program 

is to provide new hire, unemployment 

insurance (UI), and quarterly wage (QW) 

information from OCSE’s National 

Directory of New Hires (NDNH) to state 

agencies administering TANF programs 

for the purpose of verifying the 

eligibility of adult TANF recipients 

residing in the state and, if ineligible, to 

take such action as may be authorized 

by law and regulation. State agencies 

administering the TANF programs may 

also use the NDNH information for the 

purpose of updating the recipients’ 

reported participation in work activities 

and updating contact information of 

recipients and their employers. 

C. Authority for Conducting the Match 

The authority for conducting the 

matching program is contained in 

section 453(j)(3) of the Social Security 

Act (42 U.S.C. 653(j)(3)). 

D. Categories of Individuals Involved 

and Identification of Records Used in 

the Matching Program 

The categories of individuals involved 

in the matching program are adult 

recipients of benefits under TANF 

programs administered by state 

agencies. The system of records 

maintained by OCSE from which 

records will be disclosed for the 

purpose of this matching program is the 

‘‘Location and Collection System’’ (LCS), 

No. 09–90–0074, last published in the 

Federal Register at 72 FR 51446 on 

September 7, 2007. The LCS includes 

the NDNH, which contains new hire, 

QW, and UI information. Disclosures of 

NDNH information to the state agencies 

administering TANF programs is a 

‘‘routine use’’ under this system of 

records. Records resulting from the 

matching program and which are 

disclosed to state agencies 

administering TANF programs include 

names, Social Security numbers, home 

addresses, and employment 

information. 

E. Inclusive Dates of the Matching 

Program 

The computer matching agreement 

will be effective and matching activity 

may commence the later of the 

following: (1) July 13, 2010; (2) 30 days 

after this Notice is published in the 

Federal Register; or (3) 40 days after 

OCSE sends a report of the matching 

program to the Congressional 

committees of jurisdiction under 

5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(A) and to OMB, 

unless OMB disapproves the agreement 

within the 40-day review period or 

grants a waiver of 10 days of the 40-day 

review period. The matching agreement 

will remain in effect for 18 months from 

its effective date, unless one of the 

parties to the agreement advises the 

other by written request to terminate or 

modify the agreement. The agreement is 

subject to renewal by the HHS Data 

Integrity Board for 12 additional months 

if the matching program will be 

conducted without any change and each 

party to the agreement certifies to the 

Board in writing that the program has 

been conducted in compliance with the 

agreement.

District Office. The SWR SBR presents 

these workshops to help achieve 

objectives set forth in section 406 of the 

Food and Drug Administration 

Modernization Act of 1997 (21 U.S.C. 

393), which include working closely 

with stakeholders and maximizing the 

availability and clarity of information to 

stakeholders and the public. This is 

consistent with the purposes of the SBR 

Program, which are in part to respond 

to industry inquiries, develop 

educational materials, sponsor 

workshops and conferences to provide 

firms, particularly small businesses, 

with firsthand working knowledge of 

FDA’s requirements and compliance 

policies. This workshop is also 

consistent with the Small Business 

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 

1996 (Public Law 104–121), as outreach 

activities by government agencies to 

small businesses. 

The goal of this public workshop is to 

present information that will enable 

manufacturers and regulated industry to 

better comply with labeling 

requirements, especially in light of 

growing concerns about obesity and 

food allergens. Information presented 

will be based on agency position as 

articulated through regulation, 

compliance policy guides, and 

information previously made available 

to the public. This is a hands-on 

workshop. Topics to be discussed at the 

workshop include: (1) Mandatory label 

elements, (2) nutrition labeling 

requirements, (3) the Food Allergen 

Labeling and Consumer Protection Act 

of 2004, (4) voluntary health and 

nutrient content claims and (5) special 

labeling issues such as exemptions and 

current topics on food labeling and 

nutrition. FDA expects that 

participation in this public workshop 

will provide regulated industry with 

greater understanding of the regulatory 

and policy perspectives on food labeling 

and increase voluntary compliance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Tobacco products are responsible for 

more than 440,000 deaths each year. 

The rates of tobacco use and tobaccorelated mortality are higher among 

certain racial/ethnic groups, including 

American Indian and Alaska Natives, 

and African-American men. As the 

National Cancer Institute (NCI) noted in 

Monograph 19, ‘‘[t]argeting of various 

population groups—including * * * 

specific racial and ethnic populations 

* * * has been strategically important 

to the tobacco industry.’’ (Ref. 1). 

The first Surgeon General’s Report to 

address the tobacco industry’s history of 

targeting its marketing to minority 

communities was published in 1998 

(Ref. 2). Additionally, studies from the 

early 1990s document that outdoor 

tobacco advertising was 

disproportionately targeted to young 

people and to minority communities 

(Refs. 3 and 4). A longitudinal study 

conducted from 1990 to 1994 in 4 types 

of Los Angeles ethnic neighborhoods 

found that, ‘‘[c]ompared with White 

neighborhood thoroughfares, African 

American and Hispanic neighborhoods 

contained a greater tobacco ad density, 

and all minority neighborhoods 

contained greater tobacco ad 

concentration along the roadsides 

* * *. These data are consistent with 

the assertion that tobacco companies 

target ethnic minorities with higher 

rates of advertising and ethnically 

tailored campaigns.’’ (Ref. 5). A metaanalysis published in 2007 confirmed 

that ‘‘African Americans are exposed to 

a higher volume of pro-tobacco 

advertising in terms of both 

concentration and density.’’ (Ref. 6). In 

addition to the volume of advertising, 

the methods used in targeting 

advertisements to some specific 

communities have also been studied. 

For example, Monograph 19 discusses 

how advertising for mentholated brands 

to African-Americans was designed 

around lifestyle appeals relating to 

‘‘fantasy and escapism,’’ ‘‘expensive 

objects,’’ and ‘‘nightlife, entertainment, 

and music’’ themes (Ref. 7). However, as 

NCI noted, ‘‘little attention has been 

paid to understanding tobacco 

marketing aimed at American Indians 

and Alaska Natives, despite their high 

prevalence of tobacco use.’’ (Ref. 8). 

Tobacco marketing to Asian Americans 

is also under-studied. 

On June 22, 2009, the President 

signed the Tobacco Control Act into 

law. The Tobacco Control Act grants 

FDA important new authority to 

regulate the manufacture, marketing, 

and distribution of tobacco products to 

protect the public health generally and 

to reduce tobacco use by minors. Among 

its many provisions, the Tobacco 

Control Act added section 907(e)(1) to 

the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 

Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 387g(e)(1)). 

Section 907(e)(1) of the act requires the 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(the Secretary) to ‘‘refer to the [Tobacco 

Products Scientific Advisory] 

Committee for report and 

recommendation * * * the issue of the 

impact of the use of menthol in 

cigarettes on the public health, 

including such use among children,
