HHS Secretary’s Amendment to the
Declaration for the Use of the Public
Readiness and Emergency
Preparedness Act for the Influenza
Antivirals Oseltamivir Phosphate
(Tamiflu®) and Zanamivir (Relenza®)
Dated October 10, 2008
Whereas the October 10, 2008
declaration for Oseltamivir Phosphate
(Tamiflu(®)) and Zanamivir (Relenza®)
(‘‘Original Declaration’’) applies to
administration of the aforementioned
covered countermeasures to address the
threat of or actual human influenza that
results from the infection of humans
with highly pathogenic avian influenza
A viruses or other highly pathogenic
influenza viruses causing a pandemic
following exposure to the viruses;
Whereas the current detection of
H1N1 swine flu in Mexico and the
United States may have the potential to
evolve into an influenza strain capable
of causing a pandemic of human
influenza;
Whereas the aforementioned covered
countermeasures may be effective to
protect persons from either the threat of
H1N1 swine influenza, or to treat
persons with H1N1 swine influenza;
Whereas the findings made by the
Secretary in the Original Declaration
continue to apply generally, and apply
with equal force as to swine influenza;
Whereas in accordance with section
319F–3(b)(6) of the Act (42 U.S.C. 247d–
6d(b), I have considered the desirability
of encouraging the design, development,
clinical testing or investigation,
manufacturing, labeling, distribution,
formulation, packaging, marketing,
promotion, sale, purchase, donation,
dispensing, prescribing, administration,
licensing or approval, and use of
additional covered countermeasures
with respect to the category of disease
in section II of the Original Declaration,
as amended, and have found it desirable
to encourage such activities for these
additional covered countermeasures,
and;
Whereas to encourage the design,
development, clinical testing or
investigation, manufacturing and
product formulation, labeling,
distribution, packaging, marketing,
promotion, sale, purchase, donation,
dispensing, prescribing, administration,
licensing or approval, and use of
medical countermeasures with respect
to the category of disease described in
section II of the Original Declaration, as
amended, it is advisable, in accordance
with section 319F–3(a) and (b) of the
Act, to provide immunity from liability
for covered persons, as that term is
defined at section 319F–3(i)(2) of the
Act, and to include as such covered

persons such other qualified persons as
I have identified in section VI of the
Original Declaration, as amended;
Therefore pursuant to section 319F–
3(b) of the Act, I have determined that
the risk that the spread of H1N1 swine
influenza viruses and resulting disease
constitutes a public health emergency.
In order to clarify that the Original
Declaration applies to H1N1 swine flu
influenza, as well as other influenza
strains which originate from animals
and which have pandemic potential, the
Original Declaration, is hereby amended
as follows:
Strike the current section II, ‘‘Category
of Disease,’’ in its entirety and replace
as follows:
II. Category of Disease (As Required by
Section 319F–3(b)(2)(A) of the Act)
The category of disease, health
condition, or threat to health for which
I am recommending the administration
or use of the Covered Countermeasures
is the threat of or actual human
influenza that results from the infection
of humans with highly pathogenic avian
H5N1 influenza A viruses or other
animal influenza A viruses (including,
but not limited to, H1N1 swine
influenza) that are, or may be capable of
developing into, a pandemic strain.
In section VIII, strike the section in its
entirety and replace it with the
following: ‘‘This Declaration has been
amended. The Original Declaration was
published in the Federal Register at 73
FR 61861. This is the first amendment
to the Original Declaration. Any future
amendment to this Declaration will be
published in the Federal Register,
pursuant to section 319F–3(b)(4) of the
Act.’’
All other provisions of the Original
Declaration remain in full force.
This amendment to the Declaration
will be published in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 319F–
3(b)(4) of the Act.

Title: Evaluation of the Community
Healthy Marriage Initiative—Impact
Evaluation—Wave 2.
OMB No.: 0970–0322.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), is conducting a
demonstration and evaluation called the
Community Healthy Marriage Initiative
(CHMI). Demonstration programs have
been funded through Healthy Marriage
and Responsible Fatherhood grants
authorized under section 403(a)(2) of
the Social Security Act to support
healthy marriage directly and to

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 117 / Friday, June 19, 2009 / Notices
encourage community changes that
increase support for healthy marriages
and improve child and family
wellbeing.
The objective of the evaluation is to:
(1) Assess the implementation of
community interventions designed to
provide marriage education by
examining the way the projects operate
and by examining child support
outcomes among low-income families in
the community; and (2) evaluate the
community impacts of these
interventions on marital stability and
satisfaction, child well-being and child
support outcomes among low income
families.
The purpose of this information
collection is to conduct a follow-up
survey of respondents from Wave 1 who
live in the communities where CHMI
demonstrations are operating, and a
survey of CHMI program participants.
The impact evaluation will assess the
effects of community healthy marriage
initiatives by comparing family and
child well-being outcomes in the CHMI
communities with similar outcomes in
comparison communities that are well
matched to the demonstration project
sites.
Respondents: Community members
and program participants in CHMI
treatment and comparison communities.

Proposed Project
National Youth Physical Activity and
Nutrition Study (NYPANS)—New—
National Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion
(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The prevalence of obesity among
adolescents aged 12 to 19 more than
tripled in the past 20 years, increasing
from 5% in 1980 to 17.6% in 2006.
Obese young people are more likely
than children of normal weight to
become overweight or obese adults, and
are therefore more at risk for associated
adult health problems, including heart
disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several

types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.
However, healthy lifestyle habits,
including healthy eating and physical
activity, can lower the risk of becoming
obese and developing related diseases.
CDC proposes to conduct a study
involving a nationally representative
sample of students attending public and
private schools in grades 9–12. CDC will
collect information from students in
Spring 2010. The primary information
collection will include a paper-andpencil survey, a standardized protocol
to measure height and weight, and
telephone interviews to elicit 24-hour
dietary recalls among a subsample of
respondents. Information supporting the
study also will be collected from school
administrators and teachers.
The study will: (1) Provide nationally
representative data on behaviors and
behavioral determinants related to
physical activity and nutrition; (2)
provide data to help improve the clarity
and strengthen the validity of questions
on the Youth Risk Behavior Survey
(OMB No. 0920–0493, exp. 11/30/2011),
which has been conducted biennially
since 1991; and (3) improve
understanding of the associations
among behaviors and behavioral
determinants related to physical activity
and nutrition, and their association with
body mass index.
Study results will be used to develop
more effective interventions for
stemming the increase of obesity among
adolescents, and will have implications
for policy and program development for
obesity prevention programs.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time. The total estimated
burden hours are 7,781.
