Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment
Request; The Agricultural Health
Study: A Prospective Cohort Study of
Cancer and Other Disease Among Men
and Women in Agriculture (NIEHS)
In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS), National
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
are invited on one or more of the
following points: (1) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
SUMMARY:
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
To Submit Comments and for Further
Information: To obtain a copy of the
data collection plans and instruments,
submit comments in writing, or request
more information on the proposed
project, contact: Dale Sandler, Ph.D.,
Chief, Epidemiology Branch, National
Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences, NIH, 111 T.W. Alexander
Drive, P.O. Box 12233, MD A3–05,
Research Triangle Park, NC 27709, or
call non-toll-free number 919–541–
4668, or email your request, including
your address to: sandler@niehs.nih.gov.
Formal requests for additional plans and
instruments must be requested in

DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments
regarding this information collection are
best assured of having their full effect if
received within 60 days of the date of
this publication.
Proposed Collection: The Agricultural
Health Study: A Prospective Cohort
Study of Cancer and Other Disease
Among Men and Women in Agriculture,
0925–0406 (Expiration Date 9/30/2016,
REVISION), National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences
(NIEHS), National Institutes of Health
(NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose of this
information collection is to request new
components as part of the ongoing
Study of Biomarkers of Exposures and
Effects in Agriculture (BEEA), as well as
continue and complete phase IV (2013–
2016) of the Agricultural Health Study
(AHS) and continue buccal cell
collection. Phase IV will continue to
update the occupational and
environmental exposure information as
well as medical history information for
licensed pesticide applicators and their
spouses enrolled in the AHS. The new
BEEA components are a control
respondent group, and a smartphone
application (app), along with new
sample collection (buccal cell and air
monitoring samples). The new
components will use similar procedures
to ones already employed on the BEEA
study, as well as other NCI studies. The
primary objectives of the study are to
determine the health effects resulting
from occupational and environmental
exposures in the agricultural
environment. Secondary objectives
include evaluating biological markers
that may be associated with agricultural
exposures and risk of certain types of
cancer. Phase IV questionnaire data are
collected by using self-administered
computer assisted web survey (CAWI);
self-administered paper-and-pen (Paper/
pen); or an interviewer administered
computer assisted telephone interview
(CATI) and in-person interview (CAPI)
systems for telephone screeners and
home visit interviews, respectively.
Some respondents are also asked to
participate in the collection of
biospecimens and environmental
samples, including blood, urine, buccal
cells (loose cells from the respondent’s
mouth), and vacuum dust. The findings
will provide valuable information
concerning the potential link between
agricultural exposures and cancer and
other chronic diseases among
Agricultural Health Study cohort
members, and this information may be
generalized to the entire agricultural
community.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
In accordance with the Privacy Act of
1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) United States
Coast Guard (USCG) proposes to update
and reissue a current DHS system of
records titled, ‘‘DHS/USCG–029 Notice
of Arrival and Departure (NOAD)
System of Records.’’ The collection and
maintenance of this information assists
DHS/USCG in meeting its statutory
obligation to assign priorities while
conducting maritime safety and security
missions in accordance with
international and U.S. regulations. DHS/
USCG is updating this system of records
to (1) clarify the authority for the
maintenance of the system to align with
the recently published Vessel
Requirements for Notices of Arrival and
Departure, and Automatic Identification
System Final Rule (January 30, 2015, 80
FR 5281); (2) update the security
classification; (3) change the system
location to clarify that NOAD records
may be stored on information
technology (IT) systems connected to
classified networks; (4) update the
purpose(s) to align with the updated
authorities for collection, pursuant to
the newly issued Vessel Requirements
for Notices of Arrival and Departure,
and Automatic Identification System
Final Rule and to allow for replication
of data for analysis and vetting as part
of the DHS Data Framework. DHS/USCG
is also updating the categories of
individuals and categories of records to
clarify that individuals considered
‘‘non-crew’’ for the purposes of this
system may include passenger records,
as well as organizations; and removing
routine use (M) because it is not
compatible with the original purpose for
collection of the records. Further DHS/
USCG is updating the retention period
and disposal standards to reflect that
