The Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) intends to continue to
collect performance data for Special
Projects of Regional and National
Significance (SPRANS), Community
Integrated Service Systems (CISS), and
other grant programs administered by
MCHB.
The Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) proposes to
continue using reporting requirements
for SPRANS projects, CISS projects, and
other grant programs administered by
MCHB, including national performance
measures previously approved by OMB,
and in accordance with the
‘‘Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993’’ (Pub. L. 103–62).
This Act requires the establishment of
measurable goals for federal programs
that can be reported as part of the
budgetary process, thus linking funding
decisions with performance.
Performance measures for MCHB
discretionary grants were initially
approved in January 2003. Approval
from OMB is being sought to continue
the use of these measures. Some of these
measures are specific to certain types of
programs and will not apply to all
grantees. Through the experience of
utilizing these measures, we are
enhancing them to better reflect
program goals. Specifically, additional
outcome measures that can be utilized
by grantees that predominantly provide
infrastructure services are being
developed for submission to OMB.

Interagency Coordinating Committee
on the Validation of Alternative
Methods Evaluation Report and
Recommendations for Identifying
Chemical Eye Hazards With Fewer
Animals; Availability of Report; Notice
of Transmittal to Federal Agencies
The NTP Interagency Center
for the Evaluation of Alternative
Toxicological Methods (NICEATM)
announces availability of an Interagency
Coordinating Committee on the
Validation of Alternative Methods
(ICCVAM) test method evaluation report
(TMER) that provides recommendations
for identifying chemical eye hazards
with fewer animals.
ICCVAM concludes that using a
classification criterion of one or more
positive animals in a three-animal test
to identify chemicals and products that
are eye hazards will maintain hazard
classification equivalent to that
provided by current testing procedures,
while using up to 50% to 83% fewer
animals. ICCVAM recommends
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00042

consideration of this classification
criterion together with eye safety testing
procedures that use a maximum of three
animals per test substance. This
recommendation also harmonizes the
number of animals used for eye safety
testing across U.S. regulatory agencies
and international test guidelines.
The report and recommendations
have been transmitted to Federal
agencies for their review and response
to ICCVAM.

the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (16
