DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2018-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1830]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before September 17, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1830, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,

(202) 646-7659, or (email) [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2010-E-0061]

Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; ONGLYZA

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for ONGLYZA and is publishing this notice of
that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination
because of the submission of an application to the Director of Patents
and Trademarks, Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent
which claims that human drug product.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written petitions along with three copies and written comments
to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of Regulatory
Policy, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg.
51, rm. 6222, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Public Law 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human drug products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the drug becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human drug product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the drug product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and
Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent
was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review
period for a human drug product will include all of the testing phase
and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA recently approved for marketing the human drug product ONGLYZA
(saxagliptin). ONGLYZA is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise
to

improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Subsequent to this approval, the Patent and Trademark Office received a
patent term restoration application for ONGLYZA (U.S. Patent No.
6,395,767) from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., and the Patent and Trademark
Office requested FDA's assistance in determining this patent's
eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated March 3,
2010, FDA advised the Patent and Trademark Office that this human drug
product had undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval
of ONGLYZA represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use
of the product. Thereafter, the Patent and Trademark Office requested
that FDA determine the product's regulatory review period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
ONGLYZA is 2,794 days. Of this time, 2,397 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 397 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective:
December 8, 2001. The applicant claims November 8, 2001, as the date
the investigational new drug application (IND) became effective.
However, FDA records indicate that the IND effective date was December
8, 2001, which was 30 days after FDA receipt of the IND.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human drug product under section 505(b) of the act: June 30, 2008.
FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the new drug application
(NDA) for ONGLYZA (NDA 22-350) was submitted on June 30, 2008.
    3. The date the application was approved: July 31, 2009. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that NDA 22-350 was approved on July 31,
2009.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in
its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
application for patent extension, this applicant seeks 896 days of
patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments and ask for a
redetermination by November 1, 2010. Furthermore, any interested person
may petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant
for extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review
period by [insert date 180 days after date of publication in the
Federal Register]. To meet its burden, the petition must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept. 857, part
1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should be in the
format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments and written petitions.
It is only necessary to send one set of comments. It is no longer
necessary to send three copies of mailed comments. However, if you
submit a written petition, you must submit three copies of the
petition. Identify comments with the docket number found in brackets in
the heading of this document. Comments and petitions that have not been
made publicly available on regulations.gov may be viewed in the
Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday
through Friday.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Notice of Filing and Immediate
Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change by NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. To
Amend the $1 Strike Program To Allow Low-Strike LEAPS

January 4, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 18, 2009, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange is filing with the Commission a proposal to amend its
Rule 1012 (Series of Options Open for Trading) to expand the Exchange's
$1 Strike Price Program (``Program'' or ``$1 Strike Program'') \3\ to
allow listing long-term option series (``LEAPS'') \4\ in $1 strike
price intervals up to $5 in up to 200 option classes in individual
stocks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The $1 Strike Program was initially approved on June 11,
2003, and thereafter extended several times until June 5, 2008. See
Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 48013 (June 11, 2003), 68 FR

    \4\ Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities (LEAPS) are long-
term options that generally have up to thirty-nine months from the
time they are listed until expiration. Commentary .03 to Rule 1012.
Long-term FLEX options and index options are considered separately
in Rules 1079(a)(6) and 1101A(b)(iii), respectively.

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqomxphlx.cchwallstreet.com/NASDAQOMXPHLX/
Filings/, at the principal office of the Exchange, and at the
Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The

Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C
below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    This proposed rule change is based on a filing previously submitted
by Chicago Board Options Exchange, Incorporated (``CBOE'') that was
recently approved by the Commission.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60978 (November 10,
2009), 74 FR 59296 (November 17, 2009) (SR-CBOE-2009-068) (order
approving proposed rule change to allow listing LEAPS in $1 Strike
Program).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of the proposal is to expand the $1 Strike Program in a
limited fashion to allow Phlx to list new series in $1 strike price
intervals up to $5 in LEAPS in up to 200 option classes on individual
stocks.
    Currently, under the $1 Strike Program, the Exchange may not list
LEAPS at $1 strike price intervals for any class selected for the
Program. The Exchange also is restricted from listing any series that
would result in strike prices being $0.50 apart, unless the series are
part of the $.50 Strike Program.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Regarding the $0.50 Strike Program, see Commentary
.05(a)(ii) to Rule 1012 and Securities Exchange Act Release No.
60694 (September 18, 2009), 74 FR 49048 (September 25, 2009) (SR-
Phlx-2009-65) (notice of filing and order approving). The $.50
Strike Program establishes strike price intervals of $0.50 for
options on stocks trading at or below $3.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx believes that its proposal to allow limited listing of LEAPS
in the Program is appropriate and will allow investors to establish
option positions that are better tailored to meet their investment
objectives, vis-[agrave]-vis credit risk, using deep out-of-the-money,
long-term put options. These types of options are viewed as a viable,
liquid alternative to over the counter-traded (``OTC'') credit default
swaps (``CDS''), because such options do not possess the negative
characteristics associated with CDS, namely, lack of transparency,
insufficient collateral requirements, and inefficient trade processing.
    The Exchange notes that its proposal is limited in scope, as $1
strikes in LEAPS may only be listed up to $5 and in only up to 200
option classes. As is currently the case in the $1 Strike Program, the
Exchange would not list series with $1.00 intervals within $0.50 of an
existing $2.50 strike price in the same series.\7\ As a result, the
Exchange does not believe that this proposal will cause a significant
increase in quote traffic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ However, strike prices of $2 and $3 are permitted within
$0.50 of a $2.50 strike price for classes also selected for the
$0.50 Strike Program. See proposed Commentary .05(a)(i)(C) to Rule
1012, which is similar in this respect to the current Commentary
.05(a)(i)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Moreover, as the Commission is aware, the Exchange has adopted
various quote mitigation strategies in an effort to lessen the growth
rate of quotations. When it expanded the $1 Strike Price Program
several months ago the Exchange included a delisting policy that would
be applicable with regard to this proposed expansion; the Exchange has
likewise established a number of other delisting policies.\8\ The
Exchange and other options exchanges amended the Options Listing
Procedures Plan (``OLPP'') in 2008 to impose a minimum volume threshold
of 1,000 contracts national average daily volume (``ADV'') per
underlying class to qualify for an additional year of LEAP series.\9\
Most recently, the Exchange, along with the other options exchanges,
amended the OLPP to adopt objective, exercise price range limitations
applicable to equity option classes, options on Exchange Traded Funds
(``ETFs'') and options on trust issued receipts (``TIRs'') (the ``range
limitation strategy'').\10\ The Exchange has filed a rule change
proposal to codify the range limitation strategy in its own rules.\11\
The Exchange believes that these price range limitations, in
conjunction with the delisting policies in place at the Exchange,\12\
will have a meaningful quote mitigation impact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For the $1 Strike Program delisting policy, see Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 59590 (March 17, 2009), 74 FR 12412 (March
24, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-21) (notice of filing and immediate
effectiveness). The $1 Strike Program delisting policy includes a
provision stating that the Exchange may grant member requests and
add strikes and/or maintain strikes in series of options classes
traded pursuant to the Program that are eligible for delisting. For
other delisting policies proposed and implemented by the Exchange,
see Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 60249 (July 6, 2009), 74 FR
33506 (July 13, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-50) (notice of filing and
immediate effectiveness regarding Quarterly Options Series program);
60156 (June 22, 2009), 74 FR 31077 (June 29, 2009, 2009) (SR-Phlx-
2009-46) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness regarding
options on reduced value NASDAQ-100 index); 60840 (October 20,
2009), 74 FR 55593 (October 28, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-77) (order
approving listing certain options at $1 strike price intervals below
$200); and Commentary.11 to rule 1010 (low ADV delisting policy) and
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56881 (December 3, 2007), 72 FR
69276 (December 7, 2007) (SR-Phlx-2007-72) (notice of filing and
immediate effectiveness regarding delisting securities underlying
low ADV options).
    \9\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58630 (September 24,
2008), 73 FR 57166 (October 1, 2008) (File No. 4-443) (order
approving Amendment No. 2 to OLPP).
    \10\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60531 (August 19,
2009), 74 FR 43173 (August 26, 2009) (File No 4-443) (order
approving Amendment No. 3 to OLPP). Phlx's proposal to list $1
strikes in LEAPs to $5 would not be subject to the exercise price
range limitations contained in new paragraph (3)(g)(ii) of the OLPP.
    \11\ See SR-Phlx-2009-103 (unpublished).
    \12\ See, for example, Securities Exchange Act Release Nos.
60249 (July 6, 2009), 74 FR 33506 (July 13, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-50)
(notice of filing and immediate effectiveness regarding Quarterly
Options Series program); 60156 (June 22, 2009), 74 FR 31077 (June
29, 2009, 2009) (SR-Phlx-2009-46) (notice of filing and immediate
effectiveness regarding options on reduced value NASDAQ-100 index);
60840 (October 20, 2009), 74 FR 55593 (October 28, 2009) (SR-Phlx-
2009-77) (order approving listing certain options at $1 strike price
intervals below $200); and Commentary.11 to rule 1010 (low ADV
delisting policy) and Securities Exchange Act Release No. 56881
(December 3, 2007), 72 FR 69276 (December 7, 2007) (SR-Phlx-2007-72)
(notice of filing and immediate effectiveness regarding delisting
securities underlying low ADV options).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The margin requirements set forth in Rules 721 through 723 and the
position and exercise requirements set forth in Rules 1001 and 1002,
respectively, will continue to apply to these new series, and no
changes are being proposed to those requirements by this rule change.
    With regard to the impact on system capacity, the Exchange has
analyzed its capacity and represents that it and the Options Price
Reporting Authority (``OPRA'') have the necessary systems capacity to
handle the additional traffic that may be associated with the listing
and trading of LEAPS in the $1 Strike Program as proposed by this
filing.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act \13\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \14\ in particular, in that it is designed to
prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in
securities, and to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of
a free and open market and a national market system. The Exchange
believes that the ability to list and trade LEAPS at $1 strike price
intervals will benefit investors by giving them more flexibility to
more closely tailor their investment and hedging decisions.

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; or (iii)
become operative for 30 days after the date of the filing, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \15\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \16\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 30-day
operative delay. The Commission hereby grants that request.\17\ The
Commission believes that waiver of the operative delay is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest because it
recently approved a proposal from CBOE which is nearly identical to the
current proposal and on which no comments were received.\18\ Therefore,
the proposal is operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
    \18\ See Exchange Act Release No. 60978 (November 10, 2009), 74
FR 59296 (November 17, 2009) (approving SR-CBOE-2009-68).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

under the 1997 ozone NAAQS. For additional information see the direct
final rule which is published in the Rules Section of this Federal
Register. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the State's implementation plan revision as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document.
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at
this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Funding Opportunity Description

A. Background

    This FOA is soliciting an application from the Graduate School USA
to support and extend the education programs of the Education Team in
the Office of Analytics and Outreach. As part of its mission to promote
and protect public health, the Education Team is tasked to implement
targeted education programs that reach school-aged children using FDA-
approved food safety and nutrition messages. This cooperative agreement
requires the grantee to provide 37 teachers for one school year to
extend CFSAN's reach into additional U.S. schools. The selected grantee
must train and ensure that these 37 teachers will use the FDA
curriculum Science and Our Food Supply (SOFS), which has been approved
by FDA scientists. The grantee shall also guarantee that these teachers
will use CFSAN's educational materials and, in turn, support and
promote food safety and nutrition on a national scale.
    This cooperative agreement will support the commitment of 37 middle
and high school teachers to implement the FDA-National Science Teachers
Association (NSTA) supplementary food science curriculum SOFS, and
includes one week of targeted training with this curriculum as the
basis of instruction. It also includes a 1-day Enhancement Training
session at the December NSTA Regional Conference. SOFS content is
linked to specific national science education standards to help
teachers integrate this content into their existing classroom
materials. The course covers the latest research on food safety, food
microbiology, epidemiology, and nutrition from FDA experts and
scientists. These 37 teachers must conduct a train-the-teacher session
for other science teachers in their area of the country on how to
successfully use SOFS in their classrooms. To date, 620 teachers have
completed the week-long program, reaching approximately 13,000 teachers
and more than 7 million students across the country. Teachers in this
program have represented all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
    In recent years, CFSAN has added other training and online
resources through the NSTA Learning Center, as well as FDA and Graduate
School Web sites. The grantee shall assume the responsibilities of
arranging print and electronic program advertisements to science
teachers through science teacher journals, Web-based formats, and
listservs (where appropriate). The grantee shall act as a National
Training Coordinator for the year-round SOFS content delivery by
teachers. In addition, the grantee shall oversee and coordinate
exhibiting at one regional NSTA conference in the fall of 2015 and one
national NSTA conference in spring 2016. The goal of this cooperative
agreement is to provide continued support for this program, which
requires around-the-calendar attention to cover the various stages of
teacher primary training, in-school SOFS curriculum implementation,
secondary training, and train-the-teacher programs, as well as to
distribute food science education materials to teachers to promote
student education in food safety and nutrition.

B. Research Objectives

    Specific objectives of this support are to:
     Provide 37 teachers from diverse U.S. schools a weeklong
course in food science in the Washington, DC metropolitan area;
     distribute approved food science curricula and other
materials for the train-the-teacher session and exhibit at the national
NSTA and regional NSTA conferences; and

     facilitate, identify, and prioritize technical assistance
and development needs, develop strategic and project plans, and
allocate resources to coordinate FDA training program components for
U.S. teachers actively incorporating FDA's food safety and nutrition
curriculum in their classrooms, as specified in the various training
components of this proposed cooperative agreement.
