endogenous compounds; and (3)

changes in antimicrobial resistance

patterns and resistant genetic elements

within the microflora.

CVM generally agrees. CVM has

identified the following areas for which

microbiological residues represent a

potential public health concern: (1)

Changes in the metabolic activity of the

intestinal microflora; (2) changes in

antimicrobial resistance patterns of the

intestinal microflora; (3) changes in the

colonization resistance properties

(barrier effect) of the microflora; and (4)

changes in the number of

microorganisms and composition of the

intestinal microflora.

V. Conclusion

The Center specifically invites

comments on how to relate the effect

produced in the model systems to the

identified public health concerns. In

addition, information on the appropriate

endpoints for monitoring the effects of

the different classes of antibiotics is

requested. The public has the

opportunity to comment on this

guidance document at any time. CVM

will consider all comments for future

modifications of this guidance

document.

Guidelines are generally issued under

§§ 10.85(a) (21 CFR 10.85(a)) and

10.90(b). The agency is now in the

process of revising §§ 10.85(a) and

10.90(b). This guidance document does

not bind the agency, and it does not

create or confer any rights, privileges, or

benefits for or on any person; however,

it represents the agency’s current

thinking on microbiological testing of

antimicrobial drug residues in food. A

person may follow the guidance

document or may choose to follow

alternate procedures or practices. If a

person chooses to use alternate

procedures or practices, that person may

wish to discuss the matter further with

the agency to prevent an expenditure of

money and effort on activities that may

later be determined to be unacceptable

to FDA.

Interested persons may, at any time,

submit to the Dockets Management

Branch (address above) written

comments on the guidance document.

Two copies of any comments are to be

submitted, except that individuals may

submit one copy. Comments are to be

identified with the docket number

found in brackets in the heading of this

document. The guidance document and

received comments are available for

public examination in the Dockets

Management Branch between 9 a.m. and

4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Received comments will be

considered to determine if further

revision of the guidance document is

necessary.

Health Resources and Services

Administration

Proposed Data Collections Submitted

for Public Comment and

Recommendations

In compliance with the requirement

of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for

opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects, the

Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) will publish

periodic summaries of proposed

projects being developed for submission

to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1995. To request more

information on the proposed project or

to obtain a copy of the data collection

plans and instruments, call the HRSA

Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443–

1129.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information

technology.

Proposed Projects

1. Evaluation of the Community

Integrated Service System (CISS)

Program—New—Data will be collected

by mail and in person to assess

demonstration effectiveness for program

management purposes. Mail surveys

will be conducted with four managers in

each of 40 CISS grant funded programs:

(1) Project director, (2) supervisor of

intake/outreach, (3) medical director or

closest equivalent, and (4) supervisors

of care coordination. The purposes are

to describe the organizational structure,

service networks, and expected

decision-making patterns prior to the

more focussed on-site inquiries. Data

subsequently will be collected in person

from managers, staff, and clients of the

40 CISS grant-funded programs: (1)

Project director and director of grantreceiving institution, (2) managers of

each service in the program, (3) staff

providing health services, (4) staff

providing care coordination and

services other than health care, and (5)

a sample of clients who agree to

participate. Numbers (3) and (4) will

respond to focus group protocols. The

purposes of the in-person data

collection are to assess the day-to-day

interaction of the service units, decision

strategies employed by managers, and

the effect on access for targeted clients.

The study will provide the only

evaluation to date of the effectiveness of

the CISS program. The information will

also be used to identify models with

promise for replication. Because this

data collection is targeted to a limited

number of respondents, automated

collection techniques will not be used.
