Public Meeting of the Study Team
for the Los Alamos Historical Document
Retrieval and Assessment Project.
TIME AND DATE: 5 p.m.–7 p.m.,
(mountain time), Wednesday, July 26,
2006.
PLACE: Homewood Suites at the Buffalo
Thunder Road exit in Pojoaque (15
miles north of Santa Fe on U.S. 84/285),
18 Buffalo Trail, Santa Fe, New Mexico
87506, telephone 505–455–9100.
STATUS: Open to the public, limited only
by the space available. The meeting
room accommodates approximately 50
people.
BACKGROUND: Under a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) signed in
December 1990 with the Department of
Energy (DOE) and replaced by MOUs
signed in 1996 and 2000, the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) was given the
responsibility and resources for
conducting analytic epidemiologic
investigations of residents of
communities in the vicinity of DOE
facilities, workers at DOE facilities, and
other persons potentially exposed to
radiation or to potential hazards from
non-nuclear energy production use.
HHS delegated program responsibility
to CDC.
In addition, a memo was signed in
October 1990 and renewed in November
1992, 1996, and in 2000, between the
Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) and DOE. The
MOU delineates the responsibilities and
procedures for ATSDR’s public health
activities at DOE sites required under
sections 104, 105, 107, and 120 of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA or ‘‘Superfund’’). These
activities include health consultations
and public health assessments at DOE
sites listed on, or proposed for, the
Superfund National Priorities List and
at sites that are the subject of petitions
from the public; and other healthrelated activities such as epidemiologic
studies, health surveillance, exposure
and disease registries, health education,
substance-specific applied research,
emergency response, and preparation of
toxicological profiles.
PURPOSE: This study group is charged
with locating, evaluating, cataloguing,
and copying documents that contain
information about historical chemical or
radionuclide releases from facilities at
the Los Alamos National Laboratory
since its inception. The purpose of this
meeting is to review the goals, methods,
and schedule of the project, discuss
progress to date, provide a forum for
community interaction, and serve as a
vehicle for members of the public to
NAME:

express concerns and provide advice to
CDC.
MATTERS TO BE DISCUSSED: Agenda items
include a presentation from the National
Center for Environmental Health
(NCEH) and its contractor regarding the
status of project work and a summary of
recent activities, such as completion of
reviews of some key document
collections, an investigation of early
plutonium processing in D Building
during World War II, and launching of
a new project information database.
There will be time for public input,
questions, and comments. All agenda
items are subject to change as priorities
dictate.

In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), Department of Health
and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper

other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
We are, however, requesting an
emergency review of the information
collection referenced below. In
compliance with the requirement of
section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, we have
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) the following
requirements for emergency review. We
are requesting an emergency review
because the collection of this

expiration of the normal time limits
under OMB’s regulations at 5 CFR part
1320. If these events do not occur
according to the statutorily mandated
timeline, other statutory requirements
will not be able to be met. Section
6001(c) of the Deficit Reduction Act of
2005 (DRA) requires CMS and the Office
of Inspector General to analyze and, if
appropriate, redefine the Average
Manufacturer Price (AMP). We have
determined that this information
collection is needed because we do not
currently collect the necessary data
needed to perform the AMP data
analysis as mandated by the DRA.
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection; Title of
Information Collection: Voluntary
Sample Average Manufacturer Price
(AMP) Collection; Use: Section 1927 of
the Social Security Act requires each
participating drug manufacturer to
report quarterly product and pricing
information to CMS. The DRA modified
parts of Section 1927 to require that
AMP be analyzed and redefined; Form

will be considered from the public if
received by the individuals designated
below by July 29, 2006.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects
Title: Early Head Start Research and
Evaluation Project: 5th Grade FollowUp.
OMB No.: 0970–0143.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) within the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is requesting comments
on plans to collect 5th-grade follow-up
data on children recruited into the Early
Head Start Research and Evaluation
study. This study is being conducted to
assess children and families when the
children in the study will be 5th graders
or attending the 6th year of their formal
schooling. Because of the way children
and families were initially recruited for
the study, it will take three years to
collect 5th-grade data from the full
sample of children. About 30 percent of
the sample will be 5th graders in spring
2007, 50 percent in spring 2008, and 20
percent in spring 2009. Data will be
collected on a sample of approximately
1,900 children and families across all 17
of the Early Head Start research sites.
Data collection will include a child
assessment and a child interview, an
interview with the child’s primary
caregiver (usually the child’s mother),
videotaping of mother-child interactions
and a set of home observations, and a
questionnaire to be completed by the
child’s 5th-grade teacher.
This data collection is necessitated by
the mandates of the 1998
reauthorization of Head Start (Head
Start Act, as amended, October 27, 1998,
Section 649(d) and (e)).
Respondents: Individuals or
households.
