Sec. 59.6  What procedures apply to assure the suitability of

    (a) A grant under this section may be made only upon assurance 

satisfactory to the Secretary that the project shall provide for the 

review and approval of informational and educational materials developed 

or made available under the project by an Advisory Committee prior to 

their distribution, to assure that the materials are suitable for the 

population or community to which they are to be made available and the 

purposes of title X of the Act. The project shall not disseminate any 

such materials which are not approved by the Advisory Committee.

Secretary for good cause shown.

    (2) Composition. The Committee shall include individuals broadly 

representative (in terms of demographic factors such as race, color, 

national origin, handicapped condition, sex, and age) of the population 

or community for which the materials are intended.

    (3) Function. In reviewing materials, the Advisory Committee shall:

    (i) Consider the educational and cultural backgrounds of individuals 

to whom the materials are addressed;

    (ii) Consider the standards of the population or community to be 

served with respect to such materials;

    (iii) Review the content of the material to assure that the

    (iv) Determine whether the material is suitable for the population 

or community to which is to be made available; and

    (v) Establish a written record of its determinations.
