DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Coast Guard Shannon Hastings, NOFO Lead, Division of Targeted Prevention, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, email: DTPNOFO@samhsa.hhs.gov, telephone: (240) 276–1869. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Funding Opportunity Title: FY 2021 Grants to Prevent Prescription Drug/ Opioid Overdose-Related Deaths (PDO) SP–21–002. Assistance Listing Number: 93.243. Authority: Section 516 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 290bb–22. Justification: These supplement awards will be offered to the FY22 and FY23 cohorts under SP–21–002. Supplemental funding will be awarded to these cohorts because they have over three years remaining in their awards to implement their projects. The cohorts, which are comprised of state grantees, will receive a larger supplemental award per recipient which will increase opportunity to implement the activities. These cohorts have implemented existing activities well positioned to be leveraged under the ToT model. These factors will benefit SAMHSA so that the agency will be able to track the effects of the ToT model over time. This work aligns with SAMHSA’s goals of expanding access to naloxone and other opioid overdose reversal medications and enhances SAMHSA’s naloxone saturation and overdose prevention efforts. This is not a formal request for application. Assistance will only be provided to the 5 PDO grant recipients funded in FY22 and FY23 under the Grants to Prevent Prescription Drug/ Opioid Overdose Program, NOFO (SP– 21–002) based on the receipt of a satisfactory application and associated budget that is approved by a review group. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Dated: August 20, 2024.

Notification of issuance of certificates of alternative compliance. AGENCY: ACTION: The Coast Guard announces that the Eighth Coast Guard District’s Prevention Division has issued certificates of alternative compliance from the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to vessels of special construction or purpose that cannot fully comply with the light, shape, and sound signal provisions of 72 COLREGS without interfering with the vessel’s design and construction. We are issuing this notice because its publication is required by statute. This notification of issuance of certificates of alternative compliance promotes the Coast Guard’s marine safety mission. DATES: These Certificates of Alternative Compliance were issued between April 2023 and December 2023. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information or questions about this notice call or email Lieutenant Commander Jessica Flennoy, District Eight, Prevention Division, U.S. Coast Guard, telephone 504–671–2156, email Jessica.Flennoy@uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The United States is signatory to the International Maritime Organization’s International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), as amended. The special construction or purpose of some vessels makes them unable to comply with the light, shape, or sound signal provisions of the 72 COLREGS. Under statutory law, however, specified 72 COLREGS provisions are not applicable to a vessel of special construction or purpose if the Coast Guard determines that the vessel cannot comply fully with those requirements without interfering with the special function of the vessel.1 The owner, builder, operator, or agent of a special construction or purpose SUMMARY: 1 33 E:\FR\FM\26AUN1.SGM U.S.C. 1605. 26AUN1
