ACTION: Notice of a bulletin.
AGENCY:
This notice announces
Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) GSA
Bulletin FTR 05–06. This Bulletin
informs agencies that certain provisions
of the FTR governing the authorization
of actual subsistence expenses for
official travel (both TDY and relocation)
are temporarily waived as a result of
Hurricane Katrina, because it is
expected that finding lodging facilities
and/or adequate meals may be difficult,
and distances involved may be great
resulting in increased costs for per diem
expenses. GSA Bulletin FTR 05–06 may
be found at www.gsa.gov/bulletins.
SUMMARY:
The bulletin announced in this
notice is effective September 2, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
clarification of content, contact General
Services Administration, Office of
Governmentwide Policy, Office of
Travel, Transportation and Asset
Management, at (202) 501–1777. Please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
As a result of the catastrophic
destruction caused by Hurricane
Katrina, agencies should consider
delaying all non-essential TDY and
relocation to the affected locations for a
period of 90 days. This is especially
important with relocation travel because
the 120-day maximum for TQSE cannot
be extended due to statutory
restrictions. While in the past, GSA has
limited application of such waivers to
Presidentially Declared Disaster Areas,
in the case of Hurricane Katrina, the
widespread devastation coupled with
the extensive evacuation of urban areas
means that we cannot effectively

In the

FR 48160), we announced a series of
public meetings entitled ‘‘Vision 2006—

Public.’’ The meetings would be held in
three cities, Miami, FL, Boston, MA, and
Phoenix, AZ, and they would be an
open forum where consumers could

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
for FDA to update the public on current
agency programs, engage the public in
discussions, and obtain consumer input
on specific issues.
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane
Katrina hit several states bordering the
Gulf of Mexico, causing massive
flooding and devastation. The Secretary
of Health and Human Services, Michael
O. Levitt, subsequently declared a
public health emergency to exist in the
States of Florida, Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Texas, and FDA has
been working on relief efforts. Given our
53799
need to focus our attention on those
relief efforts, we are postponing the
meeting that was originally scheduled
for Miami, FL, on September 13, 2005.
We will reschedule that meeting at a
later date, and we are contacting
persons who have already registered for
the Miami meeting to inform them that
the meeting has been postponed.
The meeting dates for the Boston, MA,
and Phoenix, AZ, locations remain the
same.

In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning

Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects. To request more information
on the proposed projects or to obtain a
copy of the information collection
plans, call the SAMHSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (240) 276–1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collections of information
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection

ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) and the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) will fund an evaluation of the
Policy Academies on Chronic
Homelessness held in 2002, 2003, and
2004. These Policy Academies were
sponsored by the U.S. Department of
Human Services (HHS) in partnership
with the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs, U.S. Department of Labor and
the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development. The Policy
Academies were 3–4 day meetings
designed to help teams of State,
Territory and local policymakers
develop Action Plans intended to
improve access to mainstream services
for people who are homeless.
This evaluation will assess the
effectiveness of the Policy Academies in
helping States and Territories address
the problem of chronic homelessness.
This evaluation has been
conceptualized in two parts. The
process evaluation will focus on the
activities related to conducting the
Policy Academies. The process
evaluation interviews will focus on: (1)

How the Policy Academy concept was
developed, (2) how the Federal Partners
implemented the Policy Academies, (3)
what factors influenced the
effectiveness of each step of the
intervention (i.e., pre-Academy site
visits, Policy Academy meetings, and
post-Academy technical assistance), (4)
what changes in the Policy Academy
process occurred over time, (5) what
challenges/barriers Federal Partners
faced in the development and
implementation of the Policy
Academies, and (6) how future Policy
Academies could be improved to better
meet the needs of States and Territories.
The process evaluation will include all
45 States and Territories that
participated in one of the Policy
Academies on Chronic Homelessness, as
well as the three Pacific Territories
(American Samoa, Commonwealth of
the Northern Marianas Islands, and
Guam,) that participated in a special
series of Policy Academies on
Homelessness held in American Samoa
and Guam.
The second part, the outcome
evaluation, will assess how successful
State, Territory, and local policymakers
have been in implementing the Action
Plans that were developed at the Policy
Academies. The outcome evaluation
interviews will focus on: (1) How States
and Territories put together their Policy
Academy teams, (2) the content and
overall quality of the Action Plans these
teams developed, (3) to what extent
States and Territories have been able to
increase access to coordinated housing
