Title: Mentoring Children of Prisoners
Service Delivery Demonstration Project
Data Collection (MCP) Program.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Promoting Safe and
Stable Families Amendments, as
reauthorized (2006), amended Title IV–
B of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C.
629–629e) providing funding for a
service delivery demonstration project
for the Mentoring Children of Prisoners
(MCP) program. The grantee shall
identify children of prisoners not being
served by the grant program, provide
families of identified children with a
voucher for mentoring services and a
list of quality mentoring programs, and
monitor the delivery of mentoring
services provided. The Family and
Youth Services Bureau (FYSB) of the
Administration for Children and
Families, United States Department of
Health and Human Services,
administers the Mentoring Children of
Prisoners (MCP) program. The MCP
program provides children of prisoners
with caring adult mentors, supporting
one-to-one mentoring relationships.
Research in other populations has
shown that such relationships can lead
to reductions in risk behaviors and
improvements in academic, behavioral
and psychological outcomes in children
and youth. Although the MCP program
was developed based on research
documenting the efficacy of mentoring
as a general intervention strategy, it is
not yet known whether or not this
particular intervention yields positive
outcomes for the children of prisoners
population. Little is known about how
mentoring relationships work for these
youth, and how effective mentoring
relationships for children of prisoners
differ from effective mentoring
relationships for other youth. In
addition, little is known about children
of prisoners in general and thus a survey
of MCP program youth has the potential
to provide important data about this
relatively unstudied population.
The evaluation and data collection
proposed in this notice are to fulfill the
statutory requirement under Section 8,
subsection h(1) of the Child and Family
Services Improvement Act of 2006, as
amended, that the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human
Services evaluate outcomes of the MCP
service delivery demonstration project
and report to Congress on the findings.
The information collected will also be
used for accountability monitoring,
management improvement, and
research. Data collection will ensure
that the grantee knows that mentoring
relationships are meeting the
established milestones and that
mentoring activities are faithful to
characteristics established by research
as essential to success. Data collected
will allow the Administration for
Children and Families to compare the
MCP service delivery demonstration
project with the MCP grant program.
Data collected will also support the
grantee as it carries out ongoing
responsibilities and manages
information for internal uses.
Respondents: Public, faith-based and
community organizations applying to
and implementing the MCP service
delivery demonstration project.

Notice.
SUMMARY: The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is announcing an
opportunity for public comment on the
proposed collection of certain
information by the agency. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the
PRA), Federal agencies are required to
publish notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the
notice. This notice solicits comments on
Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
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
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, FDA is publishing notice
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
State Enforcement Notifications—21
CFR 100.2(d) (OMB Control Number
0910–0275)—Extension
Section 310(b) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21
U.S.C. 337(b)) authorizes States to
enforce certain sections of the act in
their own names, but provides that
States must notify FDA before doing so.
Section 100.2(d) (21 CFR 100.2 (d)) sets
forth the information that a State must
provide to FDA in a letter of notification
when it intends to take enforcement
action under the act against a particular
food located in the State. The
information required under § 100.2(d)
will enable FDA to identify the food
against which the State intends to take
action and advise the State whether
Federal action has been taken against it.
With certain narrow exceptions, Federal
enforcement action precludes State
action under the act.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.
The estimated reporting burden for
§ 100.2(d) is minimal because
enforcement notifications are seldom
used by States. During the last 3 years,
FDA has not received any new
enforcement notifications; therefore, the
agency estimates that one or fewer
notifications will be submitted
annually. Although FDA has not
received any new enforcement

notifications in the last 3 years, it
believes these information collection
provisions should be extended to
provide for the potential future need of
a State government to submit
enforcement notifications informing
FDA when it intends to take
enforcement action under the act against
a particular food located in the State.

delivery demonstration project with the MCP grant program. Data

responsibilities and manages information for internal uses.
Respondents: Public, faith-based and community organizations
applying to and implementing the MCP service delivery demonstration
