There is currently no nationally accepted definition of what constitutes a stillbirth, and there are no universally recommended, standardized stillbirth evaluation protocols in use for the evaluation of fetal deaths. The proposed survey has been designed to evaluate and assess the knowledge, attitudes and practice management patterns of obstetricians in the metropolitan Atlanta area regarding stillbirths in general, as well as in their medical practice. This information will be used to identify prevailing deficiencies leading to incomplete and inaccurate reporting of data relative to stillbirths, and to develop targeted awareness and educational strategies for participating MACDP facilities. Ongoing, accurate and reliable population-based registries of stillbirths are essential for conducting epidemiologic studies on the causes of and risk factors for this pregnancy outcome. This survey will be mailed to randomly selected obstetricians whose practices serve residents of the 5 counties comprising metropolitan Atlanta. This survey will be conducted once and will take approximately 2–3 months to collect the data. NCBDDD is requesting OMB clearance for 1 (one) year. There is no cost to the survey respondents except for the time necessary to complete the survey. The total annual burden hours are 122 information collection requests under review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

In its final report in 1992, one of the IOM’s recommendations was for FDA to adopt a policy of publishing an advance yearly schedule of its upcoming public advisory committee meetings in the Federal Register; FDA has implemented this recommendation. The annual publication of tentatively scheduled advisory committee meetings will provide both advisory committee members and the public with the opportunity, in advance, to schedule attendance at FDA’s upcoming advisory committee meetings. Because the schedule is tentative amendments to this notice will not be published in the Federal Register. However, changes to the schedule will be posted on the FDA advisory committees’ Internet site located at https://www.fda.gov/oc/ advisory/default.htm.
