[OJP (OVC) Docket No. 1559]


Establishment of the SANE/SART AI/AN Initiative Committee

AGENCY: Office for Victims of Crime, Justice.

ACTION: Notice of Establishment of Federal Advisory Committee.

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

SUMMARY: The National Coordination Committee on the Sexual Assault 
Nurse Examiner (SANE) Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) American 
Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN) Initiative (``SANE/SART AI/AN Initiative 
Committee'' or ``Committee'') is being established in accordance with 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as 
amended, 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SANE/SART AI/AN Initiative Committee 
will provide the Office for Victims of Crime, a component of the U.S. 
Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, with valuable 
advice about the complex issues that arise when AI/AN law enforcement 
agencies and their Federal, State and local counterparts attempt to 
coordinate a response to the victims of sexual assault. The Committee 
will also advise about the unique cultural issues faced by victims of 
sexual assault within the AI/AN community. The advice provided by the 
Committee will assist OVC in ensuring that its strategies, policies, 
and Initiative goals are responsive to the challenges faced by both 
those who respond to the victims of sexual assault within AI/AN 
communities and the victims themselves. The SANE/SART AI/AN Initiative 
Committee is necessary and in the public interest. The Committee's 
charter is subject to renewal and will expire two years from its 
filing. The Committee is continuing in nature, to remain functional 
until the Attorney General determines that all necessary duties have 
been performed.

Officer (DFO) for the SANE/SART AI/AN Initiative Committee, Office for 
Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, 810 7th Street, NW.,
