SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: One of the 

stated goals of the Tribal MIECHV 

program is to support and strengthen 

cooperation and coordination, and 

promote linkages among various 

programs that serve pregnant women, 

expectant fathers, young children, and 

families, resulting in the establishment 

of coordinated and comprehensive early 

childhood systems in grantee 

communities. The Tribal MIECHV 

program expansion supplements for the 

Tribal Early Learning Initiative will 

allow for more integrated and efficient 

activities among the four grantees who 

currently receive grants from the 3 early 

learning programs administered by ACF 

(American Indian/Alaska Native Head 

Start/Early Head Start, Tribal Child Care 

and Development Fund, and Tribal 

MIECHV). 

The continued activities of the four 

grantees are expected to result in 

models for tribal early learning systems 

that can be replicated in other tribal 

communities. In addition, the 

supplements will expand the reach and 

impact of technical assistance efforts by 

supporting and strengthening existing 

coordination and collaboration activities 

and expanding the scope of additional 

such activities in tribal communities. 

A supplemental award of $45,000 is 

made to White Earth Band of Chippewa 

Indians in White Earth, MN, to support 

the building of an early childhood 

system and their focused efforts in 

implementing a cross-tribe care 

coordination data system, known as 

WE–CARE (White Earth Coordinated 

Assessment, Resources, and Education). 

A supplemental award of $35,000 is 

made to Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma 

in Durant, OK, to support the building 

of connections across tribal early 

childhood programs, including the 

development of a tribal resource 

directory for families, and the very large 

service area they are attempting to 

reach. 

Supplemental awards of $25,000 each 

are made to the Confederated Salish and 

Kootenai Tribes in Pablo, MT, and to 

Pueblo of San Felipe in San Felipe, NM, 

to support their continuing efforts to 

build early childhood systems. These 

efforts have included joint professional 

development activities, community 

events to highlight the importance of 

early childhood and the available 

programming, and strong relationshipbuilding across Head Start, child care, 

and home visiting programs. 

Statutory Authority: Awards are supported 

by section 511(h)(2)(A) of Title V of the 

Social Security Act, as added by Section 

2951 of the Patient Protection and Affordable 

Care Act, Pub. L. 111–148, also known as the 

Affordable Care Act (ACA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Unaccompanied Alien Children’s 

program ensures the appropriate 

placement of all Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) UAC referrals 

within specified timeframes and 

requires that a range of custodial/

residential shelter care and services are 

provided to the minor detainees and, in 

certain cases, continued services are 

authorized after a child is released from 

ORR residential shelter care. The 

supplemental awards will support and 

expand direct legal representation 

services for unaccompanied minor 

children after their release from ORR 

custody. 

As part of this administration-wide 

effort, HHS is proposing a $9 million 

direct legal representation project that 

will provide representation to 2,600 

unaccompanied children throughout 

their immigration proceedings. In order 

to implement this Departmental 

priority, ORR is awarding supplemental 

funds totaling $4,261,268 in FY 2014 to 

provide direct representation to 1,222 

children and plans to provide the 

remaining funds for this project in FY 

2015. The initial program will address 

legal services to post-release alien minor 

children in Los Angeles, CA; Houston, 

TX; Miami, FL; Baltimore, MD; 

Arlington, VA; Dallas, TX; Memphis, 

TN; New Orleans, LA; and Phoenix, AZ. 

Recognizing that this will cover only a 

portion of children released to sponsors 

in these cities, HHS is committed to 

continuing to work with DHS and the 

Department of Justice (DOJ) to 

determine how best to prioritize the use 

of these 2,600 slots in the provision of 

legal services to this vulnerable 

population. 

Under the FY 2014 supplemental 

awards, the United States Conference of 

Catholic Bishops in Washington, DC, 

will receive a supplemental award of 

$2,226,513 and to the U.S. Committee 

for Refugees and Immigrants in 

Arlington, VA, will receive a 

supplemental award of $2,034,755. 

DATES: Supplemental award funds 

will support activities from September 

30, 2014 through September 29, 2015. 

Statutory Authority: This program is 

authorized by— 

(A) Section 462 of the Homeland 

Security Act of 2002, which in March 

2003, transferred responsibility for the 

care and custody of Unaccompanied 

Alien Children from the Commissioner

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

Agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed collection of 

information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, FDA is 

publishing notice of the proposed 

collection of information set forth in 

this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, FDA invites 

comments on these topics: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of FDA’s functions, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques, 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Establishment of a Tobacco User 

Panel—(OMB Control Number 0910– 

NEW) 

The Food and Drug Administration’s 

Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) 

proposes to establish a high quality, 

probability-based, primarily Web-based 

panel of 4,000 tobacco users. The panel 

will include individuals who can 

participate in up to 8 studies over a 3- 

year period to assess consumers’ 

responses to tobacco marketing, warning 

statements, product labels, and other 

communications about tobacco 

products. CTP proposed the 

establishment of the panel of consumers 

because currently existing Web-based 

panels have a number of significant 

limitations. First, most existing 

consumer panels are drawn from 

convenience samples that limit the 

generalizability of study findings (Baker 

et al., 2010). Second, although at least 

two probability-based panels of 

consumers exist in the United States, 

there is a concern that responses to the 

studies using tobacco users in these 

panels may be biased due to panel 

conditioning effects (e.g., Coen, Lorch 

and Piekarski, 2005; Nancarrow and 

Catwright, 2007). That is, consumers in 

these panels complete surveys so 

frequently that their responses may not 

adequately represent the population as 

a whole. Panel conditioning has been 

associated with repeated measurement 

on the same topic (e.g., Kruse et al., 

2009), panel tenure (e.g., Coen, Lorch 

and Piekarski, 2005), and frequency of 

the survey request (e.g., Nancarrow and 

Catwright, 2007). This issue is of 

particular concern for tobacco users 

who represent a minority of the 

members in the panels, and so may be 

more likely to be selected for 

participation in experiments and/or 

surveys related to tobacco products. 

Third, a key benefit of the Web panel 

approach is that the surveys can include 

multimedia, such as images of tobacco 

product packages, tobacco advertising, 

new and existing warning statements 

and labels, and potential reduced harm 

claims in the form of labels and print 

advertisements. Establishing a primarily 

Web-based panel of tobacco users 

through in-person probability-based 

recruitment of eligible adults and 

limiting the number of times 

individuals participate in tobaccorelated studies will result in nationally 

representative and unbiased data 

collection on matters of importance for 

FDA. 

With this submission, the FDA seeks 

approval from OMB to establish the 

Tobacco User Panel, a nationally 

representative, primarily web-based 

panel of 4,000 current tobacco users. 

Data collection activities will involve 

pilot testing of panel recruitment and 

management procedures and systems, 

mail and in-person household 

screening, in-person recruitment of 

tobacco users, enrollment of selected 

household members, administration of a 

baseline survey, and panel maintenance 

surveys, following all required informed 

consent procedures for panel members. 

Once the panel is established, panel 

members will be asked to participate in 

up to eight experimental and 

observational studies over the 3-year 

panel commitment period. The first of 

these studies (Study 1) is included in 

this information collection request; 

approval for the remainder of the 

studies will be appear in future 

requests. The current request also seeks 

approval to conduct up to two rounds 

of cognitive testing of new survey items 

and up to two focus groups to further 

refine study protocols, as needed. With 

this clearance, study investigators will 

be able to use the OMB approved data 

collection methods where appropriate to 

plan and implement the national panel. 

The overall purpose of the proposed 

data collection is to collect information 

from a representative sample of tobacco 

users to provide data that may be used
