Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
Title: Application Requirements for
the Low Income Home Energy
Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Plan.
OMB No.: 0970–0075.
Description: States, including the
District of Columbia, tribes, tribal
organizations, and U.S. territories
applying for LIHEAP block grant funds
must, prior to receiving federal funds,
submit an annual application (Model
Plan, ACF–122) that meets the LIHEAP
statutory and regulatory requirements.
In addition to the Model Plan, grantees
are also required to complete the
Mandatory Grant Application SF–424–
Mandatory, which is the first section of
the Model Plan.
The LIHEAP Model Plan is an
electronic form and is submitted to the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), Office of Community
Services (OCS) through the On-line Data
Collection (OLDC) system within
GrantSolutions, which is currently
being used by all LIHEAP grantees to
submit other required LIHEAP reporting
forms. In order to reduce the reporting
burden, all data entries from each
grantee’s prior year’s submission of the
Model Plan in OLDC is saved and repopulated (cloned) into the form for the
following fiscal year’s application.
OCS seeks renewal of this form
without any changes. A sample model
plan showing these proposed changes
can be found on the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, ACF/OCS
LIHEAP Program Resources page at:
https://www.acf.hhs.gov/ocs/resource/
funding-applications.
On April 3, 2017, ACF published a
Federal Register Notice seeking 60 days
of public comment on this proposed
information collection. One state
grantee provided comments. ACF
revised the Plan to address the
comments by ensuring that open field
boxes and attachment capability are
available if the answer choices are
insufficient to address the questions.
The revised model plan can be
viewed on the OCS Web site at: https://
www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ocs/
programs/liheap.
Respondents: State, the District of
Columbia, U.S. Territories and Tribal
governments.

In the Federal Register of June 7, 2006
(71 FR 32827), FDA issued an interim
final rule to amend its regulations to
establish a new exception from the
general requirements for informed
consent, to permit the use of
investigational in vitro diagnostic
devices to identify chemical, biological,
radiological, or nuclear agents without
informed consent in certain
circumstances. The Agency took this
action because it was concerned that,
during a potential terrorism event or
other potential public health emergency,
delaying the testing of specimens to
obtain informed consent may threaten
the life of the subject. In many
instances, there may also be others who
have been exposed to, or who may be
at risk of exposure to, a dangerous
chemical, biological, radiological, or
nuclear agent, thus necessitating
identification of the agent as soon as
possible. FDA created this exception to
help ensure that individuals who may
have been exposed to a chemical,
biological, radiological, or nuclear agent
are able to benefit from the timely use
of the most appropriate diagnostic
devices, including those that are
investigational.

Frm 00044
Fmt 4703

Section 50.23(e)(1) (21 CFR
50.23(e)(1)) provides an exception to the
general rule that informed consent is
required for the use of an investigational
in vitro diagnostic device. This
exception applies to those situations in
which the in vitro investigational
diagnostic device is used to prepare for,
and respond to, a chemical, biological,
radiological, or nuclear terrorism event
or other public health emergency, if the
investigator and an independent
licensed physician make the
determination and later certify in
writing that: (1) There is a lifethreatening situation necessitating the
use of the investigational device, (2)
obtaining informed consent from the
subject is not feasible because there was
no way to predict the need to use the
investigational device when the
specimen was collected and there is not
sufficient time to obtain consent from
the subject or the subject’s legally
authorized representative, and (3) no
satisfactory alternative device is
available. Under the rule, these
determinations are made before the
device is used, and the written
certifications are made within 5 working
days after the use of the device. If use
of the device is necessary to preserve
the life of the subject and there is not
sufficient time to obtain the
determination of the independent
licensed physician in advance of using
the investigational device, § 50.23(e)(2)
provides that the certifications must be
made within 5 working days of use of
the device. In either case, the
certifications are submitted to the
Institutional Review Board (IRB) and,
under § 50.23(e)(3) (76 FR 36989, June
24, 2011), to FDA within 5 working days
of the use of the device.
Section 50.23(e)(4) provides that an
investigator must disclose the
investigational status of the device and
what is known about the performance
characteristics of the device at the time
test results are reported to the subject’s
health care provider and public health
authorities, as applicable. Under
§ 50.23(e)(4), the investigator provides
the IRB with the information required
by § 50.25 (21 CFR 50.25) (except for the
information described in § 50.25(a)(8))
and the procedures that will be used to
provide this information to each subject
or the subject’s legally authorized
representative.
FDA estimates that there are
approximately 150 laboratories that
could perform testing that uses
investigational in vitro diagnostic
devices to identify chemical, biological,
radiological, or nuclear agents. FDA
estimates that in the United States each
year there are approximately 450
