Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; Program
Assessment and Evaluations for
NIEHS—Asthma Research
Summary: Under the provision of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences (NIEHS), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on May 9, 2007,
page 26399 and allowed 60 days 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: Program
Assessment and Evaluations for
NIEHS—Asthma Research. Type of
Information Collection Request: NEW.
New and Use of Information Collection:
National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences, Division of Extramural
Research and Training (DERT). DERT,
with contract support from Battelle
Centers for Public Health Research and
Evaluation, is examining the impact of
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
its research portfolio. Focusing
specifically on one portion of the
research portfolio—asthma research—
DERT proposes to supplement extant
data sources with a primary data
collection activity. The purpose of the
proposed primary data collection is to
obtain information from grantees
regarding the impact of their funded
asthma research in the short-,
intermediate-, and long-term. This will
be done through a survey of grantees
that includes questions about the impact
of funding on career development, the
field of asthma research, public
attitudes, commercial product
development, clinical practice, business
and industry practices, and long-term
human and environmental health.
Frequency of Response: One time.
Affected Public: Individuals. Type of
Respondents: Individuals receiving
asthma funding. A 15-minute, closeended, multi-mode (web and paper)
survey will be administered to the
universe of NIEHS-funded asthma
researchers (N=179) and comparison
agency asthma researchers (N=1371).
Comparison agencies include other NIH
institutes (NICHD, NIAID, NIA, NHLBI),
the CDC, AHRQ, and the EPA. The
survey development process included
formative interviews with a small
sample of NIEHS asthma researchers.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 1550; Estimated Number
of Responses per Respondent: 1;
Average Burden Hours per Response: 15
minutes; and Estimated Total Annual
Burden Hours Requested: 387.5. The
annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at $13,039.38. There are no
Capital Costs to report. There are no
Operating or Maintenance Costs to
report.

National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development; Proposed
Collection; Comment Request; Pilot
Study for the National Children’s Study
SUMMARY: 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
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development (NICHD), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: Pilot Study
for the National Children’s Study, Type
of Information Collection Request:
NEW, Affected entities: Households and
individuals. Types of respondents:
People potentially affected by this
action are pregnant women, women age
18–49 years of age, their husbands or
partners, and their children who live in
selected areas within the seven (7)
National Children’s Study Vanguard
sites enumerated below. A small
number of health care professionals,
community leaders, and child care
personnel are also potential
respondents. Frequency of Response: On
occasion. See burden table for estimated
number of annual responses for each
respondent. Need and use of
information collection: The purpose of
this Study is to pilot test protocols,
policies, and procedures for the
National Children’s Study (NCS) with
the goal of improving the efficiency of
study procedures and enhancing the
subsequent implementation of the NCS.
The NCS is a long-term cohort study of
environmental influences on child
health and development authorized
under the Children’s Health Act of 2000.
The Act specifies a broad definition of
environment, including biologic,
chemical, physical, and psycho-social
factors and authorizes NICHD to plan,
develop, and implement a prospective
cohort study, from birth to adulthood, to
evaluate the effects of those exposures

on child health and human
development. This data collection will
test procedures for population-based
sampling and recruitment of pregnant
women and women of child-bearing age,
test study logistics, and estimates of
subject burden, and evaluate data
collection strategies including
interviews and acquisition of biologic
and environmental samples. In addition,
participants will also be asked to
provide qualitative and quantitative
input on their feelings regarding
participation in this Study, to enhance
the lessons that can be learned and
applied to improve the efficiency of the
full NCS. Further details pertaining to
the NCS background and planning,
including the NCS Research Plan, can
be found at: https://
nationalchildrensstudy.gov. This Pilot
Study will be carried out in the seven
NCS ‘‘Vanguard’’ locations previously
selected as the initial study sites. These
sites are Orange County, CA; Duplin
County, NC; Queens County, NY;
Montgomery County, PA; Salt Lake
County, UT; Waukesha County, WI; and
the aggregate of Lincoln, Pipestone, and
Yellow Medicine Counties, MN and
Brookings County, SD. This data
collection is intended to begin with
household enumeration and enrollment
of women, proceed through pregnancy
and birth, and continue with follow-up
of children for up to 21 years. This
application is for the first three years of
data collection, which includes data
collection through the visits at which
some of the children will be 24 months
old. Details of data collections beyond
this period will be addressed at the time
of renewal or in future applications.
Women who are pregnant will be
eligible for participation if, at the time
of household enumeration and
screening, they are within the first
trimester of pregnancy. Women who are
not pregnant will be eligible if, at the
time of household enumeration and
screening, they are 18–49 years of age,
are neither surgically nor medically
sterile, and can participate in the
consent process. A subset of age-eligible
women with a high likelihood of
pregnancy (e.g., planning to become
pregnant) will be enrolled to enable
assessment of peri-conceptional
