Announcing the Intent To Award a
Single-Source Program Expansion
Supplements to Cooperative
Agreements Within the Office of
Refugee Resettlement’s
Unaccompanied Children’s (UC)
Program
Office of Refugee Resettlement,
ACF, HHS.
ACTION: This notice announces the
intent to award a single-source
expansion supplement grant to existing
grantees’, BCFS Health and Human
Services (90ZU0075) and the U.S.
Committee for Refugees and Immigrants
(90ZU0081), Cooperative Agreement
within the Office of Refugee
Resettlement’s Unaccompanied
Children’s (UC) Program.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Office of
Refugee Resettlement (ORR), announces
its intent to award a cooperative
agreement of up to $3,311,087 as a
single-source expansion supplements to
the Post Release Services Programs
within the Unaccompanied Children’s
(UC) Program.
The expansion supplement grants will
support the immediate need for
additional post-release services to
accommodate the increasing number of
UCs being referred by DHS, and as a
result, the increase of UCs referred for
post-release services. The increase in
the UC population necessitates the need
for expansion of services to expedite the
release of UC. The Flores v. Reno
settlement agreement requires that
requires the timely release of children
and youth to qualified parents,
guardians, relatives or other adults,
referred to as ‘‘sponsors.’’
DATES: Supplemental award funds will
support activities from September 30,
2015 through September 29, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ORR is
continuously monitoring its capacity to
provide post-release services to the
unaccompanied children in HHS
custody.
ORR has specific requirements for the
provision of services. Award recipients
must have the infrastructure, licensing,
experience, and appropriate level of
trained staff to meet those requirements.
The expansion of the existing postrelease services program through this
supplemental award is a key strategy for
ORR to be prepared to meet its
responsibility of safe and timely release
of Unaccompanied Children referred to
its care by DHS and so that the US
Border Patrol can continue its vital
national security mission to prevent
illegal migration, trafficking, and protect
the borders of the United States.
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 of the former
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
to the Director of ORR of the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
(B) The Flores Settlement Agreement, Case
No. CV85–4544RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996), as well
as the William Wilberforce Trafficking
Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of
2008 (Pub. L. 110–457), which authorizes
post release services under certain conditions
to eligible children. All programs must
comply with the Flores Settlement
Agreement, Case No. CV85–4544–RJK (C.D.
Cal. 1996), pertinent regulations and ORR
policies and procedures.

The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or Agency) is
announcing the availability of the
guidance entitled ‘‘Factors to Consider
Regarding Benefit-Risk in Medical
Device Product Availability,
Compliance, and Enforcement
Decisions.’’ This guidance is intended to
provide clarity for FDA staff and
industry regarding the benefit and risk
factors FDA may consider in prioritizing
resources for compliance and
enforcement efforts to maximize
medical device quality and patient
safety. Although product availability
and other medical device compliance
and enforcement decisions are generally
fact-specific, FDA believes that
explaining how we consider the factors
listed in the guidance will improve the
consistency and transparency of these
kinds of decisions. A common
understanding of how FDA considers
benefit and risk may better align
industry’s and FDA’s focus on actions
that maximize benefit to patients,
improve medical device quality, and
reduce risk to patients. This guidance is
in effect at this time.
DATES: Submit either electronic or
written comments on this guidance at
any time. General comments on Agency
guidance documents are welcome at any
time.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
