support State efforts to meet the
following Federal reporting
requirements: The Adoption and Foster
Care Analysis and Reporting System
(AFCARS) required by section 479(b)(2)
of the Social Security Act; the National
Child Abuse and Neglect Data System
(NCANDS); Child Abuse Prevention and
Treatment Act (CAPTA); and the Chafee
Independent Living Program. These
systems also support State efforts to
provide the information to conduct the
Child and Family Service Reviews.
Currently, forty-two States and the
District of Columbia have developed, or
are developing, a SACWIS with Federal
financial participation. The purpose of
these reviews is to ensure that all
aspects of the project, as described in
the approved Advance Planning
Document, have been adequately
completed, and conform to applicable
regulations and policies.
To initiate a review, States will
submit the completed SACWIS
Assessment Review Guide (SARGE) and
other documentation at the point that
they have completed system
development and the system is
operational statewide. The additional
documents submitted as part of this
process should all be readily available
to the State as a result of good project
management practices.
The information collected in the
SACWIS Assessment Review Guide will
allow State and Federal officials to
determine if the State’s SACWIS meets
the requirements for title IV–E Federal
Financial Participation (FFP) defined at
45 CFR 1355.50. Additionally, other
States will be able to use the
documentation provided as part of this
review process in their own system
development efforts.

Title: Office of Refugee Resettlement
Individual Development (IDA) Program
Post-Asset Acquisition Data Collection.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: In October 1999 the
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR), began funding
Individual Development Account (IDA)
programs, a discretionary grant program
authorized by Section 412(c)(1)(A) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA) (8 U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(A)), for lowincome refugees. IDAs are a tool that
enable low-income families to save,
build assets, and enter the financial

mainstream. Since the inception of the
ORR IDA Program, data have never been
collected from the former refugee
participants to assess how they are
doing since they acquired their asset
(i.e., home, small business, car, postsecondary education/vocational
training/recertification, computer, or
home renovation).
This report will be used to document
the experiences of the refugees and their
families since they acquired their asset.
There is much to be learned from the
experiences of IDA programs serving
refugees. ORR has requested this report
in order to document long-term program
outcomes and understand what happens
after a participant obtains his/her asset.
The lessons drawn will not only have
direct implications for ORR, but also for
currently funded refugee IDA grantees.
The broader asset field will also benefit
from learning about the achievements
and challenges of a program that serves
refugees.
Respondents: Former ORR IDA
participants who acquired an asset
through the ORR IDA Program.
Former ORR IDA grantee agencies
will also assist in locating the former
IDA participants.

Comment Request; Longitudinal
Investigation of Fertility and the
Environment
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development,
the National Institutes of Health has
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request for renewal
of an information collection request.
The original information collection
request was approved (OMB Clearance
0925–0543) following publication in the
Federal Register on January 9, 2004,
page 1589 and December 2, 2004, page
70153. The proposed collection
extension was previously published in
the Federal Register on January 16,
2008, page 2925 and allowed 60 days for
public comment. Only one public
comment was received during the
previous comment period. It was
received via e-mail from a concerned
citizen who stated that she felt that the

study should no longer continue
because it is not a good use of tax
dollars.
5 CFR 1320.5 (General Requirements)
Reporting and Recordkeeping
Requirements: Final Rule requires that
the agency inform the potential persons
who are to respond to the collection of
information that such persons are not
required to respond to the collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
This information is required to be stated
in the 30-day Federal Register Notice.
Proposed Collection: Title:
Longitudinal Investigation of Fertility
and the Environment (LIFE Study). Type
of Information Collection Request:
EXTENSION (OMB control number
0925–0543, expiration date, March 30,
2008). Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose of the LIFE
Study is to assess the impact of
environmental factors, broadly defined
to include lifestyle factors, on human
reproduction and development. The
LIFE Study is consistent with the
mission of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development that includes
conducting basic, clinical and
epidemiologic research focusing on
factors and processes associated with
human reproduction and development
thereby, ensuring the birth of healthy
infants capable of reaching full adult
potential unimpaired by physical or
mental disabilities. This study will
assess the relation between select
environmental factors and human
reproduction and development. This
research originally proposed to recruit
960 couples who are interested in
becoming pregnant and willing to
participate in a longitudinal study.
Fewer than expected couples were
enrolled during the first three years of
the project (n = 350), predominantly due
to the fact that more couples were
ineligible for participation than had
been originally estimated. In light of this
fact, the revised study plan is to enroll
a total of 500 couples (i.e., 150
additional couples), a sample size that
will not compromise the main study
objectives. Couples will be selected
from geographic regions that were
chosen from peer reviewed competitive
proposals. Fecundity will be measured
by the time required for the couples to
achieve pregnancy, while fertility will
be measured by the ability of couples to
have a live born infant. Infertility will
be recognized for couples unable to
conceive within 12 months of trying.
The study’s primary environmental
exposures include: Organochlorine
pesticides; polychlorinated biphenyls;
polybrominated diphenyl ethers; metals;

perfluorinated compounds; cotinine;
and phytoestrogens. A growing body of
literature suggests these compounds
may exert adverse effects on human
reproduction and development;
however, definitive data are lacking
especially for sensitive endpoints.
Couples will participate in a 25-minute
baseline interview and be instructed in
the use of home fertility monitors and
pregnancy kits for counting the time
required for pregnancy and detecting
pregnancy. Blood and urine samples
will be collected at baseline from both
partners of the couple for measurement
of the environmental exposures. Two
semen samples from male partners and
two saliva samples from female partners
also will be requested. Semen samples
will be used to globally assess male
fecundity as measured primarily by
sperm concentration and morphology.
Saliva samples will be used for the
measurement of cortisol levels as a
marker of stress among female partners
so that the relation between
environmental factors, stress and human
reproduction can be assessed. The
findings will provide valuable
information regarding the effect of
environmental contaminants on
sensitive markers of human
reproduction and development, filling
critical data gaps. Moreover, these
environmental exposures will be
analyzed in the context of other lifestyle
exposures such as use of cigarettes and
alcohol, consistent with the manner in
which human beings are exposed.
Frequency of Response: Following the
baseline interview (25 minutes), couples
will each complete a 2-minute daily
diary on select lifestyle factors. Women
will perform daily fertility testing (7
minutes) approximately 11 days per
cycle and pregnancy testing (4 minutes)
at day of expected menses using a
dipstick test in urine. Approximately
60% of women will become pregnant
after 2 to 3 months, at which point they
will switch to the less intensive portion
of the protocol. Men will provide two
semen samples, a month apart, requiring
approximately 20 minutes for each
collection, and women will collect two
saliva samples, a month apart, requiring
approximately 6 minutes each.
Participating couples will be given a
choice to submit their information by
mail or to send it electronically to the
Data Coordinating Center. This option
will be available throughout data
collection in the event couples change
their minds about how they would like
to submit information. Study
participants will collect semen and
saliva samples and forward them in
prepaid delivery packages to the study’s
