Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 144 / Thursday, July 27, 2006 / Notices The vote encompassed approval of the paragraph below for inclusion in the statement to be released shortly after the meeting: Although the moderation in the growth of aggregate demand should help to limit inflation pressures over time, the Committee judges that some inflation risks remain. The extent and timing of any additional firming that may be needed to address these risks will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information. In any event, the Committee will respond to changes in economic prospects as needed to support the attainment of its objectives. By order of the Federal Open Market Committee, July 21, 2006. Vincent R. Reinhart, Secretary, Federal Open Market Committee. [FR Doc.

Proposed Project Micro-Finance Project for HIV Prevention—New—National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description CDC is requesting a 3-year approval from the Office of Management and PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42643 Budget to conduct focus groups and administer a one-on-one qualitative interview to women who are at risk for HIV infection and community leaders in four communities in the southeastern United States. The purpose of this project is to conduct formative research to determine the most realistic and efficacious approach for developing a micro-finance project to reduce HIV/STD-related risk behavior among unemployed or underemployed high-risk AfricanAmerican women in the southeastern United States, who are among those most at risk for HIV infection in the country. The project addresses goals of the ‘‘CDC HIV Prevention Strategic Plan,’’ specifically the goal of decreasing the number of persons at high risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV infection. Information from this project will inform the development of economic empowerment interventions to reduce risk for HIV infection. A focus group will be conducted with eight women (who are screened for eligibility) in each of the four communities (a total of 32 women) in the southeast United States with high prevalence of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. A subset of these women will participate in individual interviews. Another focus group will include community leaders in each of the four communities (a total of 32 individuals). The focus groups will capture demographic information, attitudes, and knowledge regarding income-generating activities that are feasible (can be done with small capitalization and by these women with some training and other preparation), attractive (women will do this work), and useful (likely to produce income to address a reasonable proportion of economic need; the community will use the service or purchase the product of the activity). The subset of focus group participants who also participate in individual interviews (five women in each of the four communities, with a maximum of 20 individual interviews) will respond to more personal questions. The semistructured individual interviews will explore behavioral, social, and economic conditions that might contribute to risk for HIV infection. The focus groups and interviews will take about two hours each to complete. A screening interview for women participants will take about 10 minutes to complete. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. E:\FR\FM\27JYN1.SGM 27JYN1
