This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on January 20, 2006, pages 3310–3311 and allowed 60days for public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: Environmental Factors in the Development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Type of Information Collection Request: Revision of OMB No. 0925– 0483 and expiration date 3/31/2006. Need and Use of Information Collection: The purpose of this study is to identify a cohort of living female twin pairs in which at least one member is likely to have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) for future study. Potential participants (-2,200) will come from the Mid-Atlantic Twin Registry (MATR) and were chosen based on their answers to several questions (in a preliminary MATR survey) concerning irregular periods and a history of polycystic cystic ovaries. The instrument to be used here will be administered by telephone by professional interviewers at the MATR. It contains 17 simple and direct VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:14 Jun 19, 2006 Jkt 208001 questions and will take about 10 minutes to complete. It contents deal with the frequency of menstrual periods, a history of polycystic ovaries, obesity, excess facial hair and other evidence of hyperandrogenism. Since this is such a short telephone survey, participants will receive no prior notification. Informed consent will be asked for verbally over the phone at the time of the interview. A; participants will be asked about their willingness to participate in future studies if their answers meet certain criteria. The major objectives of future studies using this cohort are to determine more reliable concordance rates for PCOS in monozygotic and diygotic twins, establish baseline heritability estimates, and develop hypotheses concerning possible pathogenetic and/or environmental factors. The findings from this study will aid in developing: (1) Genetic tests to identify high risk women; (2) preventative strategies; and (3) more effective therapies for PCOS and related syndromes such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, idiopathic hyperandrogenism, and male pattern baldness. Frequency of Response: One time. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Type of Respondents: Adult women. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,200; Estimated Number of Responses Per Respondent: 1; Average Burden Hours Per Response: 0.167; and Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 122 per year for 3 more years.
