Great White Fleet (US), Ltd.; Notice of Filing of Complaint and Assignment Notice is given that a complaint has been filed with the Federal Maritime Commission (‘‘Commission’’) by SAT International Corporation (‘‘SAT’’ or ‘‘Complainant’’) against Great White Fleet (US), Ltd. (‘‘Great White’’ or ‘‘Respondent’’). Great White, acting as a VOCC, transported cargo for SAT from the United States to Guatemala. Complainant contends that Respondent violated section 10(b)(4)(E) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app. § 1709(b)(4)(E), by engaging in unfair and unjustly discriminatory practices relating to the adjustment and settlement of claims. Complainant also contends that Respondent violated section 10(d)(1) of the Shipping Act of 1984, 46 U.S.C. app. § 1709(d)(1), by failing to establish, observe, and enforce just and reasonable regulations and practices relating to the handling of SAT’s goods. Complainant claims that it has suffered damages in the amount of at least $69,520. Complainant seeks an order directing Respondent to cease and desist from such unlawful activities and compelling Respondent to make reparations to SAT in an amount to be proved at an administrative hearing, plus interest, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

The largest public health concern with respect to bat exposure is the transmission of rabies virus—about 75% of human rabies deaths are from batassociated rabies variants. The current U.S. guidelines for animal rabies prevention and control recommend that bats be excluded from houses and adjacent structures to prevent direct association with humans. While direct association with bats is certainly a risk factor for rabies transmission, little is known about the effects of indirect association with bats and potential adverse health effects. This is of public health concern because many organizations actually promote interactions between bats and humans, without consideration of public health consequences. The questionnaire will establish bat exposure history, general personal health history including frequency of post-exposure prophylaxis for rabies and knowledge and attitudes pertaining to bat roosts. The Colorado State University/United States Geological Survey (USGS) study provides both a background for bat and rabies virus ecology in the Fort Collins area, and the ability of conservation and health issues to be relayed to the public. We will evaluate health outcomes among household members by administering a survey focused on frequency and nature of hospital/clinic visits, frequency of bat exposure, and frequency of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies. The list of households with roosts is provided by Colorado State University bat researchers, identified through radio-tagging of bats. We plan to improve the knowledge of the ecology of bats and associated rabies transmission by assimilating rabies prevalence data in a bat population with data regarding the roost ecology and bat/human interaction ecology in a rapidly sprawling suburban area, Ft.

Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS. ACTION: General notice. AGENCY: Background This notice supplements the summer 2004 HRSA Preview which announced the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2005 funding for new and competing continuation applications for Healthy Start. Healthy Start, authorized under section 330H of the Public Health Service Act, strengthens communities to effectively address the causes of infant mortality, low birth weight and other poor perinatal outcomes for women and infants. Recently, new guidance became available with regards to funding FY 2005 Healthy Start programs. SUMMARY: Following the Senate Committee’s recommendation, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) will give VerDate jul<14>2003 16:14 Mar 17, 2005 Jkt 205001 funding preference during the FY 2005 competition to current and former Healthy Start grantees, including those whose Healthy Start grant application was approved but not funded in FY 2004. Senate Report 108–345 at 54 (2004) accompanying the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 (Pub. L. 108– 447) states ‘‘The Committee urges HRSA to give preference to current and former grantees with expiring or recently expired project periods. This should include grantees whose grant applications were approved but not funded during fiscal year 2004.’’ FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maribeth Badura, Director, Division of Healthy Start and Perinatal Services, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, HRSA, Room 18–20, Parklawn Building, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857; telephone (301) 443–0543; e-mail MBadura@hrsa.gov.
