inform the public as to the actual
conditions in the field and any actions
required to better promote a safe and
healthful environment for the disaster
victims FEMA housed in the units.
FEMA’s agreement with the CDC
includes an initial formaldehyde
exposure assessment as well as a
subsequent long-term study of the
health effects among resident children.
Formaldehyde testing conducted and
evaluated by the CDC pursuant to the
initial exposure assessment has
identified the need to evaluate the
feasibility of establishing a national
registry to identify and monitor the
temporary housing units) and data
provided by self-identified individuals
who were displaced by the hurricanes
but did not live in the FEMA temporary
trailers, members of a pre-defined
population (in the case of occupants of
non-temporary housing units).
A computer-assisted telephone
interview (CATI) system based on a
paper questionnaire will be used during
all interviews to collect data for this
project. The first part will consist of
screening questions to determine
eligibility for enrollment. The second
part will contain contact information of
the registrant and other household
members, demographics, and health
status questions, focusing on respiratory
outcomes and cancer.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.
health of disaster victims who occupied
FEMA-provided temporary housing
units. The establishment of such a
registry would complement the longterm health effects study set forth in the
FEMA–CDC Interagency Agreement.
The purpose of this study is to assess
the feasibility of contacting and
enrolling members of the targeted group
in a registry; to provide a basis for
budgeting and further planning for a
comprehensive registry; and to test the
acceptance of and response to a
questionnaire composed of standardized
health questions related to systemic and
respiratory symptoms.
A pre-registration dataset will be
created before enrollment. This dataset
will be populated with contact
information of the study population,
gathered from two main sources: FEMA

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: National Survey of Child and
Adolescent Well-Being Second Cohort
(NSCAW II).
OMB No.: 0970–0202.
Description: The Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
intends to collect follow-up data on a
sample of children and families for the
National Survey of Child and
Adolescent WellBeing (NSCAW). The
NSCAW was authorized under Section
427 of the Personal Responsibility and
Work Opportunities Reconciliation Act
of 1996. The NSCAW is the only source
of nationally representative, firsthand
information about the functioning and
well-being, service needs, and service
utilization of children and families who
come to the attention of the child
welfare system. Information is collected
about children’s cognitive, social,
emotional, behavioral, and adaptive
functioning, as well as family and
community factors that are likely to
influence their functioning. Family
service needs and service utilization
also are addressed in the data collection.
Selection of the current NSCAW
sample and baseline data collection
began in 2007 with a final anticipated
sample size of 5,700 children. The
proposed data collection will allow for
follow-up of this sample 18 months
post-baseline, and will follow the same
format as that used in the baseline
round and will employ, with only
modest revisions, the same instruments
that were used in the previous round.
Data from NSCAW are made available to
the research community through
licensing arrangements from the
National Data Archive on Child Abuse
and Neglect at Cornell University.
Respondents: Children and their
associated permanent or foster
caregivers, caseworkers, and teachers.
