Proposed Project: The SF–424A
Budget Information—Non-Construction
Programs—Reinstatement with
Change—OMB No. 4040–0006—
Grants.gov Office.
Abstract: Grants.gov is requesting
OMB approval to reinstate with change
the previously approved the SF–424A
Budget Information—Non-Construction
Programs (SF–424A) form (4040–0006)
for three years. We are renewing the
form with two proposed changes to the
instructions only. In the ‘‘General
Instructions’’ section, the following
sentence is added as the last sentence:
‘‘In ALL cases total funding budgets
should be reflected NOT only
incremental budget request changes.’’
Also, in the ‘‘Section B Budget
Categories’’ section, the last sentence is
revised as follows: ‘‘For each program,
function or activity, fill in the total
requirements for funds, Federal funding
only, by object class categories.’’
The SF–424A is used to provide
budget information when applying for
non-construction Federal grants. The
Federal awarding agencies use
information reported on the form for the
evaluation of award and general
management of Federal assistance
program awards.

Determination That a Demonstration
Needle Exchange Program Would be
Effective in Reducing Drug Abuse and
the Risk of Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome Infection Among
Intravenous Drug Users
Office of the Secretary,
Department of Health and Human
Services.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Surgeon General of the
United States Public Health Service,
VADM Regina Benjamin, M.D., M.B.A.,
has determined that a demonstration
needle exchange program (or more
appropriately called syringe services
program or SSP) would be effective in
reducing drug abuse and the risk of
infection with the etiologic agent for
acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
This determination reflects the scientific
evidence supporting the important
public health benefit of SSPs, and is
necessary to meet the statutory
requirement permitting the expenditure
of Substance Abuse Prevention and
Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant funds for
SSPs.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA), 1
Choke Cherry Road, Rockville,
Maryland, attention John Campbell,
240–276–2891.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
administers the SAPT Block Grant
authorized in section 1921 of Title XIX,
Part B, Subpart II of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 300x–21).
Section 1931(a)(1)(F) of Title XIX, Part
B, Subpart II of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C.
300x–31(a)(1)(F)) prohibits the
expenditure of SAPT Block Grant funds
to ‘‘* * * carry out any program
prohibited by section 256(b) of the
Health Omnibus Programs Extension
Act of 1988’’ (42 U.S.C. 300ee–5).
Section 256(b) prohibits the use of
‘‘* * * funds provided under this Act or
an amendment made by this Act…to
provide individuals with hypodermic
needles or syringes * * * unless the
Surgeon General of the Public Health
Service determines that a demonstration

needle exchange program would be
effective in reducing drug abuse and the
risk that the public will become infected
with the etiologic agent for acquired
immune deficiency syndrome.’’
SSPs are widely considered to be an
effective way of reducing HIV
transmission among individuals who
inject illicit drugs and there is ample
evidence that SSPs also promote entry
and retention into treatment (Hagan,
McGough, Thiede, et al., 2000, Journal
of Substance Abuse Treatment, 19, 247–
252). According to research that tracks
individuals in treatment over extended
periods of time, most people who get
into and remain in treatment can reduce
or stop using illegal or dangerous drugs.
In addition to promoting entry to
treatment, there are studies that
document injection reductions for drug
users who participate in SSPs. Hagan, et
al., found that, not only were new SSP
participants five times more likely to
enter drug treatment than non-SSP
participants, former SSP participants
were more likely to report significant
reduction in injection, to stop injecting
altogether, and to remain in drug
treatment. A summary of the research
on SSPs is available at https://
www.samhsa.gov/ssp.
The Surgeon General of the United
States Public Health Service has
therefore determined that a
demonstration syringe services program
would be effective in reducing drug
abuse and the risk that the public will
become infected with the etiologic agent
for acquired immune deficiency
syndrome. The Department of Health
and Human Services plans to issue
guidelines regarding implementation
requirements for SSPs based on this
determination.
