Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on November 15, 2010, pages 69680-69681, and allowed 60 days for public comment. One comment was received. The comment questioned the value and utility of the proposed data collection, stating that this type of research is not needed. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Proposed Collection: Title: Pilot Study for the National Children's Study Type of Information Collection Request: Revision. Affected entities: Households and individuals. Types of respondents: People potentially affected by this action are pregnant women, women age 18-49 years of age, their husbands or partners, and their children who live in selected areas within National Children's Study sites. Health care professionals, community leaders, and child care personnel are also potentially affected. Frequency of Response: On occasion. See burden table for estimated number of annual responses for each respondent. Need and use of information collection: The purpose of the proposed methodological study is to continue the Vanguard phase of the National Children's Study (NCS) to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and cost of recruitment strategies and study design elements for a prospective, national longitudinal study of child health and development. In combination, the sub-studies encompassed by the Vanguard Phase will be used to inform the design of the Main Study of the National Children's Study. We propose to continue data collection among the 37 Vanguard Study locations up to and including the visit planned to take place when the sample children have reached 24 months of age. This would align study visits approved for the initial 7 Vanguard Study locations (which extend past the birth visit to include a 3-, 6-, 9-, 12-, 18- and 24- month visit) with the study visits approved for the 30 additional Vanguard Study locations (which were initially proposed and approved up to and including the birth visit). Extending the data collection of the 30 additional Vanguard Study locations to 24 months of age would support rigorous, empirical evaluation of participant retention as it may relate to recruitment strategy. A strong understanding of how to encourage retention of study participants, particularly during the infancy and early childhood years, will be essential to planning the Main Study. Additionally, continuing data collection post-birth among the alternate recruitment strategy study locations allows us to generate additional data to inform the development of study visit procedures, both for future Vanguard Study efforts and the Main Study. We also propose reintroduction of a limited set of study visit measures to all 37 of the Vanguard Study locations engaged in data collection. Recall that extensive measures, including biospecimens, were previously approved for use in the initial 7 Vanguard Study locations. When the additional 30 locations were added, we streamlined data collection to allow focus on improving recruitment rates. Now that we have the training for those new locations (and retraining for the initial locations) completed, it is an opportune time to reintroduce selected measures that have the benefit of field experience. That field experience has been used to improve their scientific robustness, burden, and cost. These improved measures now require field testing to best inform their suitability for the Main Study. Specifically, we would like to reincorporate a father interview; maternal blood and urine collection; infant cord blood collection; home tap water and dust collection; a pregnancy health care log; and an infant and child health care log. In addition to supporting further testing of refined items, including these measures in the Recruitment Substudy would result in a data collection scope more closely mirroring the anticipated scope of the Main Study, thereby allowing better gauge of data collection scope and resources and the relationship with retention and study logistics over time. We will evaluate the feasibility (technical performance), acceptability (respondent tolerance and impact on study infrastructure), and cost (operations, time, and effort) of each recruitment and retention strategy using pre-determined measures. We will compare these findings and use them as a basis to inform the strategies, or combinations of strategies, that might be used in the Main Study of the NCS. Further details pertaining to the NCS background and planning can be found at: https://www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov. Burden statement: The additional public burden for this study will vary depending on the method of recruitment. The table below provides the annualized average burden per person over the two-year data collection period for all three alternate recruitment strategies. The additional annualized cost to respondents over the two-year data collection period for the 30 locations engaged in the alternate recruitment strategies to extend data collection from birth to age 2 is estimated at $82,000 (based on $10 per hour) and the differential time estimates in Table A.2.e, below. To reintroduce the proposed measures into the 30 locations engaged in the alternate recruitment strategies, the annualized cost to respondents over the same period is estimated at an additional $79,000 (based on $10 per hour) and the differential time estimates in Table A.2.e, below. There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report. BILLING CODE 4140-01-P [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TN04FE11.002

We, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), are issuing a 12-month finding on a petition to delist coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in coastal counties south of the ocean entrance to San Francisco Bay, California from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973, as amended. Coho salmon populations in this region are currently listed under the ESA as part of the endangered Central California Coast (CCC) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU). The petition was accepted on April 2, 2010, triggering a formal review of the petition and a status review of the listed ESU. A biological review team (BRT) was convened to assist in reviewing the petition and the status of the species. Based upon our review of the petitioned action and the status of the species, we conclude that the petitioned action is not warranted and that coho salmon populations south of San Francisco Bay are part of the endangered CCC coho salmon ESU. We further conclude that the southern boundary of the CCC coho ESU should be extended southward from its current boundary at the San Lorenzo River to include Soquel and Aptos Creeks in Santa Cruz County, California, and are proposing this change in the ESU boundary. As a result of this proposal, we are also soliciting comments and any relevant scientific and commercial data concerning the proposed range extension.
