Background Information on ICCVAM,
NICEATM, and SACATM
ICCVAM is an interagency committee
composed of representatives from 15
Federal regulatory and research agencies
that use, generate, or disseminate
toxicological information. ICCVAM
conducts technical evaluations of new,
revised, and alternative methods with
regulatory applicability and promotes
the scientific validation and regulatory
acceptance of toxicological test methods
that more accurately assess the safety
and hazards of chemicals and products
and that refine, reduce, and replace
animal use. The ICCVAM Authorization
Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 285l–3)
established ICCVAM as a permanent
interagency committee of the NIEHS
under NICEATM. NICEATM
administers ICCVAM and provides
scientific and operational support for
ICCVAM-related activities. NICEATM
and ICCVAM work collaboratively to
evaluate new and improved test
methods applicable to the needs of U.S.
Federal agencies. Additional
information about ICCVAM and
NICEATM can be found on their Web
site (https://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov).
SACATM was established January 9,
2002, and is composed of scientists from
the public and private sectors (67 FR
11358). SACATM provides advice to the
Director of the NIEHS, ICCVAM, and
NICEATM regarding the statutorily
mandated duties of ICCVAM and
activities of NICEATM. Additional
information about SACATM, including
the charter, roster, and records of past
meetings, can be found at https://
ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ see ‘‘Advisory Board
& Committees’’ (or directly at https://

Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
(NHLBI), the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) a

information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on March 19, 2009, pages
11736–11737 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

currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: Survey of
NHLBI Constituents’ Health Information
Needs and Preferred Formats. Type of
Information Collection Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The purpose of this survey is to obtain
information from NHLBI constituents
(health professionals, patients and their
families, and the general public) for the
purpose of evaluating their health
information and education needs and
format preferences. The Consumer
Services Team (CST) will use the data
collected in this survey to create a 3year Strategic Plan. The findings from
the survey, described in the Strategic
Plan, will be used to develop new
health information materials for NHLBI
constituents and to revise materials
currently in the Institute’s portfolio.
Frequency of Response: Once every 3
years. Affected Public: Individuals. Type
of Respondents: Individuals who have
been consumers of NHLBI information
within the past 3 years. The annual
reporting burden is as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,450; Estimated Number of Responses
per Respondent: 1; Average Burden
Hours per Response: 0.2; and Estimated
Total Annual Burden Hours Requested:
162. The annualized cost to respondents
is estimated at: $3,518.62. There are no
Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or
Maintenance Costs to report.

PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal

With respect to the following
collection of information, FDA invites
comments on these topics: (1) Whether

of automated collection techniques,
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
Experimental Study of Nutrition
Symbols on Food Packages
FDA has been following the
emergence of front-of-package nutrition
symbols in the marketplace. These
symbols are associated with programs
from sources including food
manufacturers, retailers, and third party
organizations (e.g., trade and health
organizations). The symbols are
intended to assist consumer choice by
providing simplified and easilyaccessible information on the
nutritional attributes of a food product.
Relevant and nonproprietary
information about the effects of
nutrition symbols on consumers,
however, is limited (see, for example,
Feunekes et al., 2008; ‘‘FDA Comments
on Symbols Public Hearing and Current
Plans for Addressing Issues,’’ Docket
