Title: Head Start Performance
Standards.
OMB No.: 0970–0148.
Description: Please note that this
submission does not reflect proposed
changes in the Notice of Proposed Rule
Making to update Head Start program
performance standards published on
June 15, 2015. ACF is only requesting
for an extension without change of a
currently approved collection.
Head Start Performance Standards are
the result of a legislative mandate to
administer a high quality
comprehensive child development
program that serves low-income
pregnant women, infants and toddlers,
preschoolers and their families. The
information collection aspects of the
Performance Standards are a part of the
many actions that local agencies must
take to ensure they administer quality
programs for Head Start children and
families. The information collection
items included in the Performance
Standards are almost entirely recordkeeping requirements for local Head
Start programs; these records are
intended to act as a tool for grantees and
delegate agencies to be used in their
day-to-day operations. Such records are
maintained by the grantees and delegate
agencies and are not part of a standard
information collection submitted to the
Federal government. Local programs are
monitored for overall compliance with
the Performance Standards, including
the record-keeping aspects.
Respondents: Head Start and Early
Head Start program grant recipients.

Federal Government through the
provision of program operating costs.
In compliance with the requirements
of Section 506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the
Administration for Children and
Families is soliciting public comment
on the specific aspects of the
information collection described above.

The Department specifically requests
comments on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)

Reallotment of FY 2015 Funds for the
Low Income Home Energy Assistance
Program (LIHEAP)
Office of Community Services,

ACTION: Notice of determination
concerning funds available for
reallotment.

Notice is hereby given of a

Program (LIHEAP) are available for
reallotment to states, territories, tribes,
and Tribal Organizations that received
FY 2016 direct LIHEAP grants. No
subgrantees or other entities may apply
for these funds.
Section 2607(b)(1) of the Low Income
Home Energy Assistance Act (the Act),
(42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)) requires that, if
the Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
determines that, as of September 1 of
any fiscal year, an amount in excess of
10 percent of the amount awarded to a
grantee for that fiscal year (excluding
Leveraging, REACH, and reallotted
funds) will not be used by the grantee
during that fiscal year, then the
Secretary must notify the grantee and
publish a notice in the Federal Register
that such funds may be reallotted to
LIHEAP grantees during the following
fiscal year. If reallotted, the LIHEAP
block grant allocation formula will be
used to distribute the funds. No funds
may be allotted to entities that are not
direct LIHEAP grantees during FY 2016.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
July 6, 2016.

email: lauren.christopher@acf.hhs.gov.
It has been
determined that approximately
$1,230,022 in LIHEAP funds may be
available for reallotment during FY
2016. This determination is based on FY
2015 Carryover and Reallotment Reports
that showed that seven grantees
reported reallotment funds (Tennessee,
Puerto Rico, Coyote Valley Band of
Pomo Indians, Eastern Shoshone Tribe,
Passmaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point,
Poarch Band of Creek Indians, and The
Klamath Tribes). Grantees submitted the
FY 2015 Carryover and Reallotment
Reports to the Office of Community
Services (OCS), as required by
regulations applicable to LIHEAP at 45
CFR 96.82. This amount, however, may
increase because, as of April 1, 2016, the
report for 68 grantees remains pending.
The statute allows grantees who have
funds unobligated at the end of the
federal fiscal year for which they are
awarded to request that they be allowed
to carry over up to 10 percent of their
allotments to the next federal fiscal year.
Funds in excess of this amount must be
returned to HHS and are subject to
reallotment under section 2607(b)(1) of
the Act (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(1)). The
amount described in this notice was
reported as unobligated FY 2015 funds
in excess of the amount that these
grantees could carry over to FY 2016.
OCS contacted each of the grantees to
confirm that the FY 2015 funds
indicated in the chart may be reallotted.
In accordance with section 2607(b)(3) of
the Act (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(3)),
comments will be accepted for a period
of 30 days from the date of publication
of this notice.
After considering any comments
submitted, the Chief Executive Officers
of LIHEAP grantees will be notified of
the final reallotment amount. This
decision will be published in the
Federal Register.
If funds are reallotted, they will be
allocated in accordance with section
2604 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 8623) and
must be treated by LIHEAP grantees
receiving them as an amount
appropriated for FY 2016. As FY 2016
funds, they will be subject to all
requirements of the Act, including
section 2607(b)(2) (42 U.S.C. 8626(b)(2)),
which requires that a grantee obligate at
least 90 percent of its total block grant
allocation for a fiscal year by the end of
the fiscal year for which the funds are
appropriated, that is, by September 30,
2016.

Organon USA et al.; Withdrawal of

and 128 Abbreviated New Drug
Applications; Correction
AGENCY:

HHS.
ACTION:
Notice; correction.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) is correcting a
notice that appeared in the Federal
Register of October 13, 2015 (80 FR
61426). The document announced the
withdrawal of approval of 67 new drug
applications (NDAs) and 128
abbreviated new drug applications from
multiple applicants, effective November
12, 2015. The document indicated that
FDA was withdrawing approval of the
following two NDAs after receiving a
request from the NDA holder, Merck
Sharp & Dohme Corp. (Merck), 1 Merck
Dr., P.O. Box 100, Whitehouse Station,
NJ 08889: NDA 016096, MINTEZOL
(thiabendazole) Tablets, and NDA
016097, MINTEZOL (thiabendazole)
Oral Suspension. Before withdrawal of
these NDAs became effective, Merck
informed FDA that it did not want
approval of the NDAs withdrawn.
Because Merck timely requested that
approval of these NDAs not be
withdrawn, the approval of NDAs
016096 and 016097 is still in effect.
