assessment into the programs. ORR is
requesting renewal of OMB clearance
for a survey of refugees that is collecting
data on refugees’ employment and
earnings outcomes. Survey interviews
began in July 2006, and are still
ongoing. The survey is being conducted
in three cities: Houston, Miami, and
Sacramento. The survey relies on a
mixed-mode data collection method that
involves both telephone and in-person
interviews. If individuals cannot be
reached by phone, an attempt is made
to contact them in person. Three
hundred refugees from a randomly
selected sample in each site will
complete the survey, for a total of 900
refugees.
While locating and interviewing this
population was expected to be difficult
due to their high mobility, achieving the
goal of 900 complete responses needed
for reliable analysis, while maintaining
reasonable response rates, has proven
more time-consuming than expected. As
of December 1, 2006, 547 refugees have
already completed the survey, and
approximately 64 more completions are
expected in 2006, meaning that about
289 interviews would occur in 2007.
Consequently, ORR is requesting
clearance to continue the survey into
2007.
Respondents: Refugees and related
populations that qualify for RSS/TAG
services who entered the United States
between October 1999 and September
2004.

Enhanced Services for the Hard-toEmploy Demonstration and Evaluation:
Rhode Island 15-Month Survey
Amendment.
OMB No. 0970–0276.
Description: The Enhanced Services
for the Hard-to-Employ Demonstration
and Evaluation Project (HtE) seeks to
learn what works in this area to date
and is explicitly designed to build on
past research by rigorously testing a
wide variety of approaches to promote
employment and improve family
functioning and child well-being. The
HtE project is designed to help
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) recipients, former
TANF recipients, or low-income parents
who are hard-to-employ. The project is
sponsored by the Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation (OPRE) of the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (ASPE) in the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), and the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL).

The evaluation involves an
experimental, random assignment
design in four sites, testing a diverse set
of strategies to promote employment for
low-income parents who face serious
obstacles to employment. The four
include: (1) Intensive care management
to facilitate the use of evidence-based
treatment for major depression among
parents receiving Medicaid in Rhode
Island; (2) job readiness training,
worksite placements, job coaching, job
development and other training
opportunities for recent parolees in New
York City; (3) pre-employment services
and transitional employment for longterm TANF participants in Philadelphia;
and (4) home- and center-based care,
enhanced with self-sufficiency services,
for low-income families who have
young children or are expecting in
Kansas and Missouri.
Materials for follow-up surveys for
each of these sites were previously
submitted to OMB and were approved.
The purpose of this submission is to add
physiological measures to the follow-up
effort to the Rhode Island study.
Respondents: The respondents to this
component of the Rhode Island followup survey will be low-income parents
and their children from the Rhode
Island site currently participating in the
HtE Project. As described in the prior
OMB submission, these parents are
Medicaid recipients between the ages of
18 and 45 receiving Medicaid through
the managed care provider United
Behavioral Health (UBH) in Rhode
Island who meet study criteria with
regard to their risk for depression.
Children are the biological, adopted,
and step-children of these parents,
between the ages of 1 and 18 years of
age.

Jkt 211001
Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for

existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of FDA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)

Threshold of Regulation for Substances
Used in Food-Contact Articles—21 CFR
170.39 (OMB Control Number 0910–
0298)—Extension
Under section 409(a) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act)
(21 U.S.C. 348(a)), the use of a food
additive is deemed unsafe unless one of
the following is applicable: (1) It
conforms to an exemption for
investigational use under section 409(j)
of the act, (2) it conforms to the terms
of a regulation prescribing its use, or (3)
in the case of a food additive which
meets the definition of a food-contact
substance in section 409(h)(6) of the act,
there is either a regulation authorizing
its use in accordance with section
409(a)(3)(A) or an effective notification
in accordance with section 409(a)(3)(B).
The regulations in § 170.39 (21 CFR
170.39) established a process that
provides the manufacturer with an
opportunity to demonstrate that the
likelihood or extent of migration to food
of a substance used in a food-contact
article is so trivial that the use need not
be the subject of a food additive listing
