and Human Services (DHHS).
ACTION: Notice of public comment on
the proposed Noncompetitive Single
Source Program expansion supplement
to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society
(HIAS).
AGENCY:
CFDA#: The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance (CFDA) number for this program
is 93.576. The title is the Refugee Family
Enrichment Program.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that it
has been proposed that a
noncompetitive single-source program
expansion supplement to an ongoing
competitive award be made to the
Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)
in response to an unsolicited
application. This application proposes
to provide additional training and
technical assistance to organizations
implementing Refugee Marriage
Enrichment projects. The application is
not within the scope of any existing or
expected to be issued program
announcement for the Fiscal Year 2006.
HIAS’s application is expected to
address issues critical to the
development and implementation of
marriage education programs for
refugees by providing valuable on-site
training and technical assistance to
grantees and sub-grantees that offer
marital communication training to
refugee couples.
In September of 2003, ORR awarded
HIAS a grant of $200,000 to develop a
Refugee Family Enrichment program
which included technical assistance to
subgrantees. Because of their success in
the development of their marriage
enrichment program, in 2004 HIAS was
awarded a noncompetitive single source
program expansion supplement to an
ongoing competitive award to expand
its Technical Assistance Services
Program to Refugee Family Enrichment
project sites specified by ORR. HIAS has
since provided over 600 hours of
technical assistance to project sites
operated by organizations across the
country. Their technical assistance
primarily supports the work of small
Mutual Assistance Associations, and

without it, these agencies might struggle
to provide refugee clients with the
programs they need in order to achieve
self sufficiency. The proposed project
period is 9/30/2005–9/29/2006.
Technical assistance to support
grantees in developing better
approaches to the delivery of services
provided to refugees is authorized by
section 412(c)(1)(A) of the Immigration
and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.
1522(c)(1)).
The deadline for receipt of
comments is 15 days from the date of
publication in the Federal Register.

this notice should be addressed to

information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate

quality, utility, and clarity of the

of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Drug Abuse Warning
Network (OMB No. 0930–0078)—
Revision.
The Drug Abuse Warning Network
(DAWN) is an ongoing data system that
collects information on drug-related
medical emergencies as reported from
about 350 hospitals nationwide, and
drug-related deaths as reported from 6
states and 135 medical examiners/
coroner jurisdictions (ME/C) in 35
metropolitan areas. DAWN provides
national and metropolitan estimates of
substances involved with drug-related
emergency department (ED) visits;
disseminates information about
substances involved in deaths
investigated by participating medical
examiners and coroners (ME/Cs); tracks
drug abuse patterns, trends, and the
emergence of new substances; monitors
post-market adverse drug incidents;
assesses health hazards associated with
the use of illicit, prescription, and overthe-counter drugs; and generates
information for national and local drug
abuse policy and program planning.
DAWN data are used by Federal, State,
and local agencies, as well as
universities, pharmaceutical companies,
and the media.
From 2006 to 2008, DAWN will
continue to recruit hospitals in the 13
oversampled metropolitan areas in order
to improve the precision of estimates,
adding approximately 18 hospitals to
the sample. In 2007 and 2008, DAWN
plans to recruit approximately 20 more
ME/Cs from metropolitan areas that are
currently profiled by DAWN, but have
incomplete participation. DAWN data
are submitted electronically, using
eHERS (electronic Hospital Emergency
Reporting System) and eMERS
(electronic Medical Examiner Reporting
System). DAWN proposes that all
facilities (EDs and ME/Cs) will start
using the revised electronic forms for all
events occurring from 1/1/2006 forward.
The annual burden estimates are
shown below:
