ACTION:
Office of the Secretary
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Office of Research Integrity (ORI),
the Assistant Secretary for Health, and
another Federal agency have taken final
action in the following case:
Amy Beth Goldring, University of
California at Los Angeles: Based on an
investigation conducted by the
University of California at Los Angeles
(UCLA) and additional analysis
conducted by the Office of Research
Integrity (ORI) in its oversight review,
ORI found that Ms. Goldring, former
graduate student, Department of
Psychology, UCLA, engaged in scientific
misconduct by falsifying or fabricating
data and statistical results for up to nine
pilot studies on the impact of
vulnerability on decision-making from
Fall 2000 to Winter 2002 as a basis for
her doctoral thesis research. The
falsified or fabricated data was included
in a manuscript submitted to
Psychological Science, in National
Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH),
National Institutes of Health (NIH),
grant application 1 R01 MH65238–
01A1, and in NIMH, NIH, pre-doctoral
training grant T32 MH15750.
Ms. Goldring has been debarred by
another agency with joint jurisdiction
for a period of three (3) years, beginning
on May 13, 2005, and ending on May
13, 2008. On December 16, 2005, Ms.
Goldring received a detailed
explanation of ORI’s proposed finding

Economic Evaluation Of Walking

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 32 / Thursday, February 16, 2006 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
The CDC is requesting approval of a
pilot test to better understand the
barriers to increased physical activity
and the potential impact of modest
financial incentives to promote walking
among sedentary adults aged 50 years
and older. The Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System (BRFSS) data
reveal that Americans in general and
older adults in particular do not meet
minimum recommendations for levels
of physical activity. Moderate increases
in physical activity would decrease the
incidence of diseases promoted by
inactivity, including several types of
cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
However, strategies that effectively
motivate sedentary people to increase
and maintain levels of regular physical
activity have yet to be identified. CDC
proposes to use this effort to investigate
the impact of one type of intervention
(financial incentives) on levels of
physical activity.
CDC will conduct a stated preference
(SP) survey to identify the barriers to
leisure time physical activity and the
size of the incentives necessary to
overcome these barriers among
sedentary adults age 50 and older. A
pilot test of the impact of specific
amounts of financial incentives on
levels of walking among this population
will also be conducted via a reveled
preference (RP) pedometer experiment
in the Raleigh, North Carolina,
metropolitan area.
The SP survey will be a one-time
effort in which respondents belonging to
an online survey panel will complete a
computer survey over the Internet. In
the RP portion of the project, a local
sample of respondents will complete an
identical survey on paper. The RP
respondents will also wear a pedometer
for 4 weeks and record the number of
steps walked in a diary. Data will be
collected from the diaries and from the
7-day history in each pedometer unit.
Respondents will receive a modest
incentive payment for the number of
steps they walk above a predetermined
floor and below a predetermined
ceiling.

The results of the survey will be used
to gauge the size of the incentives
necessary to motivate behavior change
in a real world setting. The results of the
pilot test will provide initial evidence of
the magnitude of the incentives
necessary to increase levels of physical
activity among a specific sample of
older adults. The total costs and
effectiveness (changes in physical
activity) can then be compared to
similar data emanating from other
interventions designed to increase levels
of physical activity. Statistical analysis
of the SP survey and RP data will be
used. Since neither form of data
collection is based on a random sample,
conclusions will be preliminary and not
generalizable. The analysis will be used
to evaluate whether further
comprehensive research on this subject
should be undertaken. There are no
costs to the respondents other than their
time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 1058.

Injuries (0920–05AB)—New—The
National Center for Injury Prevention

Background and Brief Description
Injury is the leading cause of death
and disability among children and
young adults. In 2000, more than
148,000 people died from injuries.
Among them: 43,354 died from motorvehicle crashes; 29,350 died from
suicide; 16,765 died from homicide;
13,322 died from unintentional falls;
12,757 from unintentional poisonings;
3,482 died from unintentional
drowning; 3,377 died from fires. These
external causes often result in
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Each year,
an estimated 1.5 million Americans
sustain a TBI. As a consequence of these

TBI injuries: 230,000 people are
hospitalized and survive; 50,000 people
die; 80,000 to 90,000 people experience
the onset of long-term disability. An
estimated 5.3 million Americans live
with a permanent TBI-related disability.
However, this estimate does not include
people with ‘‘mild’’ TBI who are seen in
emergency departments or outpatient
encounters, nor those who do not
receive medical care. The annual
economic burden of TBI in the United
States has been estimated at $56.3
billion in 1995 however, human costs of
the long-term impairments and
disabilities associated with TBI are
incalculable. Because many TBI related
disabilities are not conspicuous deficits,
they are referred to as the invisible or
silent epidemic. These disabilities,
arising from cognitive, emotional,
sensory, and motor impairments, often
permanently alter a person’s ability to
maximize daily life experiences and
have profound effects on social and
family relationships. To implement
more effective programs to prevent these
injuries, we need reliable data on their
