A member of the conspiracy caused the customs declaration on the parcel to falsely report that the parcel contained a health product sample with no declared value. As a result of this conviction, FDA sent Mr. Komar, by certified mail on June 11, 2020, a notice proposing to debar him for a 5-year period from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States. The proposal was based on a finding under section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act that Mr. Komar’s felony conviction for one felony count under Federal law for mail fraud was for conduct relating to the importation into the United States of any drug or controlled substance because he illegally caused bicalutamide and isotretinoin to be introduced in interstate commerce from Mumbai, India, by selling to a consumer who did not have a prescription through the U.S. mail in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341. In proposing a debarment period, FDA weighed the considerations set forth in section 306(c)(3) of the FD&C Act that it considered applicable to Mr. Komar’s offenses and concluded that this felony offense warranted the imposition of a 5-year period of debarment. The proposal informed Mr. Komar of the proposed debarment and offered Mr. Komar an opportunity to request a hearing, providing him 30 days from the date of receipt of the letter in which to file the request, and advised him that failure to request a hearing constituted a waiver of the opportunity for a hearing and of any contentions concerning this action. Mr. Komar received the proposal and notice of opportunity for a hearing on June 22, 2020. Mr. Komar failed to request a hearing within the timeframe prescribed by regulation and has, therefore, waived his opportunity for a hearing and waived any contentions concerning his debarment (21 CFR part 12). years from importing or offering for import any drug into the United States, effective (see DATES). Pursuant to section 301(cc) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 331(cc)), the importing or offering for import into the United States of any drug or controlled substance by, with the assistance of, or at the direction of Mr. Komar is a prohibited act. Any application by Mr. Komar for termination of debarment under section 306(d)(1) of the FD&C Act should be identified with Docket No. FDA–2020– N–1058 and sent to the Dockets Management Staff (see ADDRESSES). The public availability of information in these submissions is governed by 21 CFR 10.20(j). Publicly available submissions will be placed in the docket and will be viewable at https://www.regulations.gov or at the Dockets Management Staff (see ADDRESSES) between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, 240–402–7500. II. Findings and Order Therefore, the Assistant Commissioner, Office of Human and Animal Food Operations, under section 306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act, under authority delegated to the Assistant Commissioner, finds that Mr. Keith Komar has been convicted of a felony under Federal law for conduct relating to the importation into the United States of any drug or controlled substance. FDA finds that the offense should be accorded a debarment period of 5 years as provided by section 306(c)(2)(A)(iii) of the FD&C Act. As a result of the foregoing finding, Mr. Komar is debarred for a period of 5 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:08 Oct 19, 2020 Jkt 253001 Dated: October 13, 2020. Lauren K.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Maternal Health Portfolio Evaluation Design, OMB No. 0906–xxxx [NEW]. Abstract: HRSA programs provide health care to people who are geographically isolated, economically, or medically vulnerable. HRSA programs help those in need of high quality primary health care, such as pregnant women and mothers. Improving maternal health outcomes and access to quality maternity care services is a key component of the HRSA mission. HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) provides funding to address some of the most urgent issues influencing the high rates of maternal mortality. Recent efforts to address persistent disparities in maternal, infant, and child health have employed a ‘‘life course’’ perspective and health equity lens focused on health promotion and disease prevention. Life course approach can be defined as analyzing people’s lives within structural, social, and cultural contexts through a defined sequence of age categories that people are normally expected to pass through as they progress from birth to death. Health equity is defined as the attainment of the highest level of health for all people. Achieving health equity for pregnant and postpartum women will require attention to barriers in access to quality health services and promotion of equal opportunities to seek the highest possible level of health and well-being. Achieving health equity also requires a focus on social determinants of health. With this emphasis on improving maternal health across the life course and promoting optimal health for all mothers, HRSA is employing a multipronged strategy to address maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity through the following suite of programs: 1. The State Maternal Health Innovation Program; ADDRESSES: E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM 20OCN1 66570 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 203 / Tuesday, October 20, 2020 / Notices 2. The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Program: 3. The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health—Community Care Initiative; 4. The Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies Program; and, 5. The Supporting Maternal Health Innovation Program. MCHB is conducting a portfolio-wide evaluation of HRSA-supported Maternal Health (MH) Programs with a primary focus on reducing maternal mortality. Through this evaluation, MCHB seeks to identify individual and/or collective strategies, interrelated activities, and common themes within and across the MH Programs that may be contributing to or driving improvements in key maternal health outcomes. MCHB seeks to ascertain which components should be elevated and replicated to the national level, as well as inform future investments to reduce rates of maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on June 8, 2020, vol. 85, No. 110; pp. 34739–40. There were no public comments. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: MCHB seeks to understand the impact of HRSA’s investments in MH programs. These five programs represent a total of 12 state-based programs and three programs with the potential for national reach. In understanding the strategies that are most effective in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality, program elements could be replicated and/or scaled up nationally. Likely Respondents: Likely respondents are recipients of the cooperative agreements mentioned above (The State Maternal Health Innovation Program; The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health Program; The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health—Community Care Initiative; The Rural Maternity and Obstetrics Management Strategies Program; and, The Supporting Maternal Health Innovation Program) which represents 11 state health agencies, two national organizations, and two academic organizations. Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the information requested. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
