Request for Comments on the Proposed 2020 Targets for the National Action Plan To Prevent Health Care-Associated Infections: Road Map To Elimination (Phase I: Acute Care Hospital) Measures
The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Federal Steering Committee for the Prevention of Health Care-Associated Infections (HAI), proposes new targets for the acute care hospital measures for the National Action Plan to Prevent Health Care-Associated Infections: Road Map to Elimination (HAI Action Plan). The five-year targets identified in the initial HAI Action Plan expired at the end of 2013; therefore, new targets are being proposed, taking into consideration the progress made since the HAI Action Plan was initially released in 2009. Similar to the initial HAI Action Plan, the proposed targets will reflect improvement efforts over a five-year period. As such, the Department is proposing a baseline of January 2015 and individualized targets for each of the health care-associated infections identified in the HAI Action Plan to be achieved by December 2020. HHS invites public and private health-related professionals, organizations, and consumer representatives to submit written comments on the proposed 2020 HAI acute care hospital targets, found at https:// www.health.gov/hai/prevent_hai.asp#haimeasures.

Irradiation in the Production, Processing, and Handling of Food
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is responding to objections and is denying requests that it received for a hearing on the final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of August 22, 2008 (73 FR 49593), and that amended the food additive regulations to provide for the safe use of ionizing radiation for control of food- borne pathogens and extension of shelf life in fresh iceberg lettuce and fresh spinach. After reviewing objections to the final rule and requests for a hearing, we have concluded that the objections do not raise issues of material fact that justify a hearing or otherwise provide a basis for revoking or modifying the amendment to the regulation. We are denying the request for a stay of the effective date of the amendment to the food additive regulations. We are also confirming the effective date of August 22, 2008, for the final rule.
