Background and Brief Description The National Blood Lead Surveillance System (NBLSS) would like to continue its effort to collect information related to lead exposure among children less than six years old. The overarching goal of this system is to establish Childhood Lead Surveillance Systems at the state and national levels. This is a revision request in addition to a 3-year revision with an increase in the burden hours and inclusion of the adult blood lead surveillance system. As part of this effort we would like to revise this application to include 3 additional State and local Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP) who report to the NBLSS. These three programs were added to help provide a more comprehensive picture of Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Total burden (in hours) 1 proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The objectives for developing this system are three-fold. First, we would like to use surveillance data to estimate the extent of elevated blood-lead levels (BLLs) among children less than 6 years old. This is important because it will allow us to systematically track the management and follow-up of those children found to be poisoned with lead. Our next objective for the development of this system is to examine potential sources of lead exposure. Although we’ve been successful in eliminating atmospheric lead with the use of unleaded gasoline and have continued to make strides in the elimination of household sources of lead commonly found in paint and dust, recent events have highlighted other potentially hidden sources of lead. This system will allow us to track the burden of such hidden sources and will help us eliminate such threats with the establishment of laws aimed at preventing the importation of such goods into our nation. The establishment of such laws will of course be a joint effort between several federal agencies; however, this surveillance system will help facilitate our efforts. The final objective of this system is to facilitate the allocation of resources for lead poison prevention activities. The allocation of federal resources to State surveillance systems are based on reports of blood-lead tests from laboratories. Ideally, laboratories report results of all lead tests to the state health department. State health departments E:\FR\FM\15FEN1.SGM 15FEN1

Background and Brief Description

    The purpose of this request is to obtain OMB approval to continue 
data collection for the National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), a 
school-based survey that has been conducted biennially since 1991. OMB 
approval for the 2005 YRBS and 2007 YRBS expired November 30, 2007 (OMB

at least 10 of the health objectives and 3 of the 10 Leading Health 
Indicators established by Healthy People 2010. In addition, the YRBS

other national source of data measures as many of the Healthy People 
2010 objectives addressing adolescent behaviors as the YRBS. The data 
also will have significant implications for policy and program 
development for school health programs nationwide.
    In Spring 2009 and Spring 2011, the YRBS will be conducted among 
nationally representative samples of students attending public and 
private schools in grades 9-12. Information supporting the YRBS also 
will be collected from school administrators and teachers. The table 
below reports the number of respondents annualized over the 3-year 
project period.
    There are no costs to respondents except their time.
