Child Labor Education Initiative, 12736-12737 [05-4990]

Download as PDF 12736 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 15, 2005 / Notices laws relating to the manufacture, distribution, or dispensing of controlled substances, is not relevant for consideration, as there is no evidence Dr. Bischoff has yet been convicted of any crime related to controlled substances. However, it is noted the investigation has been provided to local authorities for possible initiation of criminal charges. With respect to factor five, other conduct that many threaten the public health and safety, Respondent’s actions discussed above are also relevant under this factor. The Deputy Administrator is particularly troubled by Dr. Bischoff’s abuse of the trust placed in him as a family friend and physician, both by the minor and his parents and by Dr. Bischoff’s calculated efforts to obtain controlled substances through fraud and misrepresentation. In sum, Dr. Bischoff’s cavalier disregard for the law and regulations governing controlled substances and the abandonment of his responsibilities as a physician and registrant cannot be tolerated. They weigh heavily in favor of a finding that his continued registration would not be in the public interest. Accordingly, the Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, pursuant to the authority vested in her by 21 U.S.C. 823 and 28 CFR 0.100(b), and 0.104, hereby orders that DEA Certificate of Registration BB0377247, issued to James S. Bischoff, M.D., be, and it hereby is, revoked. The Deputy Administrator further orders that any pending applications for renewal or modification of such registration be, and they hereby are, denied. This order is effective April 14, 2005. Dated: February 24, 2005. Michele M. Leonhart, Deputy Administrator.

Background Information: Since 1995, USDOL has supported a worldwide technical assistance program implemented by the International Labor Organization’s International Program on the Elimination of Child Labor (ILOIPEC). ILAB has provided over U.S. $400 million to ILO-IPEC and other organizations for international technical assistance to combat abusive child labor around the world. In its FY 2005 appropriations, in addition to funds earmarked for ILOIPEC, USDOL received U.S. $34 million to provide bilateral assistance to improve access to basic education in international areas with a high rate of abusive and exploitive child labor. All E:\FR\FM\15MRN1.SGM 15MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 15, 2005 / Notices such FY 2005 funds will be obligated on or before September 30, 2005. USDOL’s Child Labor Education Initiative nurtures the development, health, safety, and enhanced future employability of children around the world by increasing access to basic education for children removed from child labor or at risk of entering it. Eliminating child labor will depend in part on improving access to, quality of, and relevance of education. Without improving educational access, quality, and relevance, children withdrawn from child labor may not have viable alternatives and may return to work or resort to other hazardous means of subsistence. In addition to increasing access to education and eliminating exploitive child labor, the Child Labor Education Initiative has the following four strategic goals: 1. Raise awareness of the importance of education for all children and mobilize a wide array of actors to improve and expand education infrastructures; 2. Strengthen formal and transitional education systems that encourage working children and those at risk of working to attend school; 3. Strengthen national institutions and policies on education and child labor; and 4. Ensure the long-term sustainability of these efforts. When working to increase access to quality basic education, USDOL strives to complement existing efforts to eradicate the worst forms of child labor, to build on the achievements of and lessons learned from these efforts, to expand impact and build synergies among actors, and to avoid duplication of resources and efforts.
