To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call 404–639–5960 and send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC Assistant Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS–D74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to omb@cdc.gov. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques and clinical research. A minimum of essential information is collected regarding the deceased miners, including occupational history and smoking history. The data collected will be used by the staff at NIOSH for research purposes in defining the diagnostic criteria for coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (black lung disease) and pathologic changes and will be correlated with x-ray findings. It is estimated that only 5 minutes is required for the pathologist to generate a statement on the invoice affirming that no other compensation is received for the autopsy. The consent release and history form takes the next-of-kin approximately 15 minutes to complete. Since an autopsy report is routinely completed by a pathologist, the only additional burden is the specific request of abstract of terminal illness and final diagnosis relating to pneumoconiosis. Therefore, only 5 minutes of additional burden is estimated for the autopsy report. There are no costs to the respondents, other than their time. or other forms of information technology. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.

Background and Brief Description Under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1977, PL 91–173 (amended the Federal Coal Mine and Safety Act of 1969), the Public Health Service has developed a nationwide autopsy program for underground coal miners, the National Coal Workers Autopsy Study (NCWAS). The consent release and history form is primarily used to obtain written authorization from the next-of-kin to perform an autopsy on the deceased miner.

Management) in Improving Access and Care within the Spina Bifida Clinic 
System--New--National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental 
Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Spina bifida is one of the most common birth defects, affecting 
approximately 2 per 10,000 live births in the United States annually. 
Providing care for people who are born with spina bifida is complex and 
challenging. Studies have shown that care coordination is beneficial 
for individuals with complex health conditions such as cystic fibrosis 
and sickle cell anemia. However, the extent to which care coordination 
is effective for assisting individuals with spina bifida is currently 
unknown. To learn more about what factors may help or act

[[Page 28704]]

as barriers to the provision of effective care coordination for 
individuals with spina bifida, CDC's National Center on Birth Defects 
and Developmental Disabilities proposes to conduct a study using focus 
groups and interviews. The proposed activity is part of the National 
Spina Bifida Program mandated in Section 317C of the Public Health 
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247b-4)
    Researchers will visit 10 spina bifida clinics nationwide. At each 
clinic, 1 focus group with approximately 8 caregivers of children with 
spina bifida will be conducted. Each focus group will last about 2 
hours. At each clinic, approximately 5 clinical staff will be 
interviewed; each interview will take approximately 45 minutes. Focus 
group and interview respondents will be asked a variety of questions 
related to care coordination for individuals with spina bifida 
including how care is coordinated in the clinic, barriers and 
facilitators to the provision of care coordination, the effectiveness 
of care coordination, and recommendations for improving care 
coordination. All responses to the focus groups and interviews will be 
treated in a private manner.
    There will be no costs to the respondents other than their time.
