Annual reporting hours: 2,640 hours
Estimated average hours per response:

General description of report: This

statutory basis for collecting this

sections 3 and 4 of the Bank Holding
Company Act [12 U.S.C. §§ 1842 and
1843 and 12 U.S.C. §§ 353 and 461]. No
issue of confidentiality normally arises
because names and any other
characteristics that would permit
personal identification of respondents
will not be reported to the Board.
Abstract: This survey gathers data
from two groups of military personnel:
(1) those completing a financial
education course as part of their
advanced training and (2) those not
completing a financial education course.
These two groups are surveyed on their
financial management behaviors and
changes in their financial situations
over time. Data from the survey help to
determine the effectiveness of financial
education for young adults in the
military and the durability of the effects
as measured by financial status of those
receiving financial education early in
their military careers.

Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

grant applications and their capacity to
seek federal funding.

National Toxicology Program (NTP)
Interagency Center for the Evaluation
of Alternative Toxicological Methods
(NICEATM); the Murine Local Lymph
Node Assay: Request for Comments,
Nominations of Scientific Experts, and
Submission of Data
SUMMARY: The Interagency Coordinating
Committee on the Validation of
Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) received
a nomination from the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to
evaluate the validation status of: (1) The
murine local lymph node assay (LLNA)
as a stand-alone assay for determining
potency (including severity) for the
purpose of hazard classification; (2) the
‘‘cut-down’’ or ‘‘limit dose’’ LLNA
approach; (3) non-radiolabeled LLNA
methods; (4) the use of the LLNA for
testing mixtures, aqueous solutions, and
metals; and (5) the current applicability
domain (i.e., the types of chemicals and
substances for which the LLNA has
been validated). ICCVAM reviewed the
nomination, assigned it a high priority,
and proposed that NICEATM and
ICCVAM carry out the following
activities in its evaluation: (1) Initiate a
review of the current literature and
available data, including the preparation
of a comprehensive background review
document, and (2) convene a peer
review panel to review the various
proposed LLNA uses and procedures for
which sufficient data and information
are available to adequately assess their
validation status. ICCVAM also
recommends development of
performance standards for the LLNA. At
this time, NICEATM requests: (1) Public
comments on the appropriateness and
relative priority of these activities, (2)
nominations of expert scientists to
consider as members of a possible peer
review panel, and (3) submission of data
for the LLNA and/or modified versions
of the LLNA.
DATES: Submit comments, data, and
nominations by June 15, 2007. Relevant
data will also be accepted after this date
and considered when feasible.
