Title of Information Collection: The
National Evaluation of the Rural/
Frontier Women’s Health Coordinator
Center Program.
Form/OMB No.: 0990–New.
Use: The Department of Health and
Human Services Office on Women’s
Health (OWH) is seeking clearance to
conduct data collection efforts as part of
the National Evaluation of the Rural/
Frontier Coordinating Center (RFCC)
program. The Office on Women’s Health
funded the creation of three RFCCs in
September 2004, and awarded eight
additional RFCC contracts in fiscal year
2005. The impetus for creating the
RFCCs was to identify, coordinate, and
leverage the network of existing
resources to provide a full range of
culturally and linguistically appropriate
health services to women and their
families. To effectively meet the
numerous health care needs of this
diverse population, rural health
providers must not only offer
comprehensive health care services but
also integrate these services to maximize
awareness, access, and quality. RFCCs
were created to accomplish this task.
Evaluating the effectiveness of RFCCs is
essential for determining whether these
centers are the best vehicles for
coordinating and leveraging new and
existing resources for women’s health in
rural and frontier communities. The
OWH is seeking to evaluate all eleven
RFCCs. This evaluation will also enable
the OWH to determine how well RFCCs
are facilitating access to integrated and
comprehensive primary care services to
women and their families residing in
rural and frontier regions of the U.S.

BILLING CODE 4150–33–P
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
Experimental and Theoretical Study
of Early Detection and Isolation of
Influenza—NEW—The National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention
[60Day–07–07AW]
Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
The Federal Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970, section 501, enables
NIOSH to carry out research relevant to
the health and safety of workers. Some
diseases like influenza and Severe
Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
can be spread when people produce
clouds of droplets (called aerosols) by
coughing or sneezing. Aerosol
transmission of infectious diseases is of
particular interest today because of
increased concern over a possible global
influenza pandemic. The possible
airborne spread of influenza is
especially important to health-care
workers and emergency responders,
who face a much greater risk of
exposure than does the general public.
However, substantial gaps exist in our
understanding of the generation and
spread of infectious aerosols containing
influenza. This lack of information
hampers the ability of health scientists
to model and predict the transmission of
influenza by airborne particles and to
understand whether or not aerosols are
likely to be an important route of
transmission of influenza during a
pandemic.
The purpose of this study is to gain
a better understanding of the production
and dissemination of aerosols
containing the influenza virus. The
results of this research will give
scientists and health professional’s
greater insight into the airborne
transmission of influenza and allow
them to better assess the potential
effectiveness of preventive measures.
The first part of this study will
measure the quantity and size
distribution of aerosol droplets
produced by people with influenza
when they cough. To accomplish this,
volunteers with influenza-like illness
will be asked to provide an oral swab for
influenza testing, and then will cough
into a spirometer. The aerosol produced
by each person will be measured using
commercially-available instrumentation.
The oral swabs will be processed after
the aerosol experiments are completed.
The second part of this study will
determine the amount and size of
airborne particles containing influenza
virus that are present in a hospital
emergency department during influenza
season. Health care workers will be
recruited to wear small aerosol
collection devices as they go about their
normal duties. The collected samples
will then be analyzed for influenza
virus. Adult patients in the emergency
department with influenza-like illness
will be asked to provide an oral swab to
test for the flu virus in order to estimate
the number of potential sources of viralladen airborne particles. There will be
no costs to study participants other than
their time.
