A notice announcing the availability
of fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for

was published in the Federal Register
on Tuesday, May 3, 2005, Volume 70,
Number 84, pages 22870–22875. The
notice is amended as follows:
Replace the current language on page
22873, columns two and three,
regarding Prostitution and Related
Activities with the following:
• Prostitution and Related Activities.
The U.S. Government is opposed to
prostitution and related activities,
which are inherently harmful and
dehumanizing, and contribute to the
phenomenon of trafficking in persons.
Any entity that receives, directly or
indirectly, U.S. Government funds in
connection with this document
(‘‘recipient’’) cannot use such U.S.
Government funds to promote or
advocate the legalization or practice of
prostitution or sex trafficking. Nothing
in the preceding sentence shall be
construed to preclude the provision to
individuals of palliative care, treatment,
or post-exposure pharmaceutical
prophylaxis, and necessary
pharmaceuticals and commodities,
including test kits, condoms, and, when
proven effective, microbicides. A
recipient that is otherwise eligible to
receive funds in connection with this
document to prevent, treat, or monitor
HIV/AIDS shall not be required to
endorse or utilize a multisectoral
approach to combating HIV/AIDS, or to
endorse, utilize, or participate in a
prevention method or treatment
program to which the recipient has a
religious or moral objection. Any
information provided by recipients
about the use of condoms as part of
projects or activities that are funded in
connection with this document shall be
medically accurate and shall include the
public health benefits and failure rates
of such use.
In addition, any recipient must have
a policy explicitly opposing prostitution

and sex trafficking. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to any ‘‘exempt
organizations’’ (defined as the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria, the World Health Organization,
the International AIDS Vaccine
Initiative or to any United Nations
agency).
The following definition applies for
purposes of this clause:
• Sex trafficking means the
recruitment, harboring, transportation,
provision, or obtaining of a person for
the purpose of a commercial sex act. 22
U.S.C. 7102(9).
All recipients must insert provisions
implementing the applicable parts of
this section, ‘‘Prostitution and Related
Activities,’’ in all sub-agreements under
this award. These provisions must be
express terms and conditions of the subagreement, must acknowledge that
compliance with this section,
‘‘Prostitution and Related Activities,’’ is
a prerequisite to receipt and
expenditure of U.S. government funds
in connection with this document, and
must acknowledge that any violation of
the provisions shall be grounds for
unilateral termination of the agreement
prior to the end of its term. Recipients
must agree that HHS may, at any
reasonable time, inspect the documents
and materials maintained or prepared
by the recipient in the usual course of
its operations that relate to the
organization’s compliance with this
section, ‘‘Prostitution and Related
Activities.’’
All prime recipients receiving U.S.
Government funds (‘‘prime recipients’’)
in connection with this document must
certify compliance prior to actual
receipt of such funds in a written
statement referencing this document
(e.g., ‘‘[Prime recipient’s name] certifies
compliance with the section,
‘‘Prostitution and Related Activities.’’’)
addressed to the agency’s grants officer.
Such certifications by prime recipients
are prerequisites to the payment of any
U.S. Government funds in connection
with this document.
Recipients’ compliance with this
section, ‘‘Prostitution and Related
Activities,’’ is an express term and
condition of receiving U.S. Government
funds in connection with this
document, and any violation of it shall
be grounds for unilateral termination by
HHS of the agreement with HHS in
connection with this document prior to
the end of its term. The recipient shall
refund to HHS the entire amount
furnished in connection with this
document in the event it is determined
by HHS that the recipient has not
complied with this section,
‘‘Prostitution and Related Activities.’’

Colorectal Cancer Screening
Demonstration Program
Announcement Type: New.
Funding Opportunity Number: RFA
AA030.
Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance Number: 93.283.
Key Dates: Letter of Intent (LOI)
Deadline: June 8, 2005.
Application Deadline: July 8, 2005.
Executive Summary: Colorectal
Cancer (CRC) is the second leading
cause of cancer-related deaths in the
United States, following lung cancer (1American Cancer Society 2005, see
Attachment D). Strong scientific
evidence indicates that regular
screening is effective in reducing CRC
incidence and mortality (2—Mandel
1993, 3—Mandel 2000, 4—Selby 1992,
5—Kronburg 1996, 6—Hardcastle 1996,
see Attachment D).
Screening rates for CRC are currently
lower than other cancer screening
services (7—Seeff 2004). CRC screening
is already occurring in some
communities, either in an organized or
an opportunistic setting. Some
communities are planning to begin
screening, but are still building their
infrastructure and/or resources.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) announce the
availability of funds in fiscal year (FY)
2005 for three to five cooperative
agreements to implement demonstration
programs designed to increase
population-based CRC screening among
persons 50 years and older in a
geographically defined area, with
screening efforts focused on persons 50
years and older with low incomes and
inadequate or no health insurance
coverage for CRC screening (priority
population). Applicants will need to
define the geographic area that their
program will cover. Applicants will be
asked to describe their current CRC
screening efforts and to define what
they need to increase CRC screening
rates in these two populations: (1) The
larger geographically-defined
population; and (2) the priority subpopulation within that geographically-
