Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 118 / Wednesday, June 18, 2008 / Notices
emergency responders in CBRN terrorist
attacks. Information about the public
meetings that discussed the conceptual
requirements for the CBRN APR is
available through this link: https://
www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/
standardsdev/cbrn/meetings.html.
The NIOSH Statement of Standard
and supporting concept papers for the
CBRN APR are available through this
link: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/
standardsdev/cbrn/apr/.
Since the Standard was established in
2003, multiple models of CBRN APRs
from multiple manufacturers have been
certified to the Statement of Standard.
The DoD’s request is to supplement
the existing NIOSH standard with an
alternate permissible design for DoD
applications. DoD requirements for the
JSGPM require availability of
replacement filters in the mask carrier
worn on the individual and field level
logistic support for additional filters.
Neither of these are requirements for
commercial mask applications. For the
DoD user, the advantages of the bayonet
attachment on the JSGPM does not
compromise the interoperability
considerations for emergency
responders outside of the DoD.
DoD Instruction 6055.1 indicates that
in non-military unique workplaces
where OSHA standards or other Federal
safety standards apply but do not cover,
or only partially cover, existing
conditions, the DoD Components shall
use appropriate national safety and
occupational health consensus
standards under Public Law 104–113.
When there is no relevant OSHA or
national consensus standard, the DoD
Components may develop other
protective measures to ensure the safety
and health of DoD personnel. Also, the
DoD Components may prescribe more
stringent exposure limits or monitoring
frequencies than those in the basic
OSHA standards. Requesting NIOSH to
include another mechanical connector
design for DoD applications that may
allow for NIOSH certification of the
JSGPM meets this intent.
Through this announcement, NIOSH/
NPPTL is seeking input from
stakeholders and manufacturers to
determine the following:
1. Opinions on the current design
requirement for the single 40-mm thread
canister mechanical connector.
2. Rationale and data to maintain the
current design requirement.
3. Rationale and data to support
adding an alternative design for DoD
applications for canister mechanical
connectors.
4. Identification of alternative
approaches to implement the alternative
design concept for the canister
mechanical connector.
5. Other comments on the subject.

Proposed Projects
Title: Generic Clearance to Conduct
Qualitative Data Collections.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: The Office of Planning,
Research and Evaluation (OPRE),
Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS),
intends to request approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for a generic clearance that will
allow OPRE to conduct a variety of
qualitative data collections. Over the
next three years, OPRE anticipates
undertaking a variety of new research
projects in the fields of cash welfare,
employment and self-sufficiency, Head
Start, child care, healthy marriage and
responsible fatherhood, and child
welfare. In order to inform the
development of OPRE research, to
maintain a research agenda that is
rigorous and relevant, and to ensure that
research products are as current as
possible, OPRE will engage in a variety
of qualitative data collections in concert
with researchers and practitioners
throughout the field. OPRE envisions
using a variety of techniques including
semi-structured discussions, focus
groups, telephone interviews, and inperson observations and site visits, in
order to integrate the perspectives of
program operators, policy officials and
members of the research community.
Following standard Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
requirements, OPRE will submit a
change request to OMB individually for
every group of data collection activities
undertaken under this generic
clearance. OPRE will provide OMB with
a copy of the individual instruments or
questionnaires (if one is used), as well
as other materials describing the project.
Respondents: Administrators or staff
of State and local agencies or programs
in the relevant fields; academic
researchers; and policymakers at various
levels of government.

Proposed Project
Title: Communities Empowering
Youth Evaluation Study.
OMB No. New Collection.
Description: The information
collection activity proposed under this
notice will obtain information about
lead and partner organizations funded
under the Communities Empowering
Youth (CEY) program. The information
collected will complement a survey
(OMB No. 0970–0335) that is examining
the organizational and partnership
capacity building experienced by
organizations funded under the CEY
program. The proposed information
collection will allow in-depth
examination of a select number of lead
organizations and their partners.
Information collection will be through
on-site observations of organizations
and partnerships and structured
discussions with key staff, using
uniform protocols. Pilot testing will be
conducted at two sites to ensure that the
protocols and observations are valid and
reliable. On-site information collection
will occur three times: near the
beginning, at the mid-point, and at the
end of the three-year CEY grant period.
Periodic telephone follow-ups,
occurring approximately every six
months, will be conducted between onsite data collection in order to clarify or
update information collected earlier and
to prepare for future site visits.
Respondents: Executive directors and
key staff of faith based and community
organizations that received three-year
CEY grants beginning in 2007.

Title: Continued Tracking of Families
in the Head Start Impact Study.
OMB No.: 0970–0229.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF) of the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) plans to collect followup information from children and
families in the Head Start Impact Study
(OMB No. 0970–0229). In anticipation
of the possibility of conducting an 8th
grade follow-up for this study, this effort
will collect information necessary to
identify respondents’ current location,
as well as other basic information about

continued.
The Head Start Impact Study is a
longitudinal study involving
approximately 5,000 first time enrolled
three- and four-year old preschool
children across 84 nationally
representative grantee/delegate agencies
(in communities where there were more
eligible children and families than can
be served by the program.) Participating
children were randomly assigned to
either a Head Start group (that could
enroll in Head Start services) or a
control group (that could not enroll in
Head Start services but could enroll in
other available services selected by their
parents). Data collection for the study
began in fall of 2002 and extended
through spring 2008, through the
children’s 3rd grade year.
It is the intention of the
Administration for Children and
Families to continue to examine
outcomes for this sample of children
and families through the spring of the
child’s 8th grade year. In order to ensure
that participants can be located for that
future study, location and contact
information will be collected from
