SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Elsewhere

in this issue of the Federal Register,

FDA announced that a meeting of the

Dental Drug Products Panel Plaque

Subcommittee will be held on June 6

and 7, 1996. The purpose of the meeting

scheduled for June 6, 1996, is to

continue the subcommittee’s discussion

concerning the alcohol content of oral

health care mouthwash drug products

begun at its meeting of June 28 and 29,

1994. After evaluating the available

data, the subcommittee concluded that

it should meet in a workshop

environment with representatives of the

National Cancer Institute, the National

Institute of Dental Research, other

professional groups, the agency, and

industry to address any new

information regarding a causal

relationship between alcohol-containing

mouthwashes and oral cancer. The

subcommittee recommended that this

workshop should address the

development of sound scientific studies

to determine the relationship, if any,

between alcohol-containing mouthwash

products and cancer of the oral cavity.

FDA has established a docket number

(81N–033P) as a public record of the

comments, views, and other information

submitted to the agency from interested

persons and organizations regarding

alcohol in oral health care mouthwash

drug products. After publication of the

subcommittee’s report, this docket will

be the repository of all data and

information collected by the agency for

the over-the-counter (OTC) antiplaque/

antigingivitis drug review, but currently

it will contain only those comments and

data that are not confidential under the

OTC drug review. (See the request for

data and information on dental and oral

health care drug products for antiplaque

use published in the Federal Register of

September 19, 1990 (55 FR 38560 at

38562).) Copies of the background

briefing documents have been placed in

this docket and may be seen in the

Dockets Management Branch (address

above) or obtained from the agency’s

Freedom of Information Staff (address

above). Copies of the background

briefing document will also be available

at the committee meeting.

Dated: April 23, 1996.

Associate Commissioner for Policy

Women’s Initiatives (WIN)—New

The Health Resources and Services

Administration’s Maternal and Child

Health Bureau proposes to collect

information about HIV-related services

provided to women of child-bearing age

and their children. Information will be

collected annually from eight sites

funded by HRSA under cooperative

agreements and their 320 local service

providers that are funded under

Sections 2618(a) and 2671 of the Public

Health Service Act. The eight funded

sites will collect the information by

telephone from their providers, and

forward the data collection forms to a

HRSA contractor. There are no plans to

collect or transmit the data

electronically.

The purpose is to document current

care system characteristics and facilitate

planning for services to women with

HIV and their children. The information

will be used within and outside HRSA

to inform the administration and

Congress about HIV counseling and

testing services for pregnant women,

services and referral resources for

pregnant women with HIV,

antiretroviral therapies, and outreach

related to perinatal HIV transmission

reduction. Annual burden estimates are
