educational, and contextual consequences to
enable a complete assessment of the physical,
chemical, biological, and psychosocial
environmental influences on children’s wellbeing;

Type of Information Collection
Request: RENEWAL of OMB Clearance
0925–0590, Expiration June 30, 2011.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The Children’s Health Act of
2000 (Public Law 106–310) states:
To fulfill the requirements of the
Children’s Health Act, the results of
formative research and pilot tests will
be used to maximize the efficiency of
NCS procedures, materials, and
methods for outreach, engagement of
stakeholders, recruitment and retention
of Study subjects, and to ensure
scientifically robust data collection
methodologies for the National
Children’s Study (NCS) Vanguard and
Main Studies. With this submission, the
NCS seeks to renew its OMB generic
clearance to conduct survey and
instrument design and administration,
focus groups, cognitive interviews, and
health and social service provider
feedback information collection
surrounding outreach, engagement,
recruitment, consent and questionnaire
design, and retention activities. Under
separate notice, the NCS also requests
OMB generic clearance for formative
research featuring environmental,
neurodevelopmental, and study logistic
information collection. These separate
and distinct generic clearances will
facilitate the efficiency of submission
and review of these projects as required
by the OMB Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs.
(a) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this
section to authorize the National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development* to
conduct a national longitudinal study of
environmental influences (including
physical, chemical, biological, and
psychosocial) on children’s health and
development.
(b) IN GENERAL.—The Director of the
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development* shall establish a
consortium of representatives from
appropriate Federal agencies (including the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the Environmental Protection Agency) to—
(1) Plan, develop, and implement a
prospective cohort study, from birth to
adulthood, to evaluate the effects of both
chronic and intermittent exposures on child
health and human development; and
Background
The National Children’s Study is a
prospective, national longitudinal study
of the interaction between environment,
genetics on child health and
development. The Study defines
‘‘environment’’ broadly, taking a number
of natural and man-made
environmental, biological, genetic, and
psychosocial factors into account. By
studying children through their
different phases of growth and
development, researchers will be better
able to understand the role these factors
have on health and disease. Findings
from the Study will be made available
as the research progresses, making
potential benefits known to the public
National Institutes of Health
Revision to Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Formative
Research Methodology Studies for the
National Children’s Study
In compliance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development (NICHD), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.

as soon as possible. The National
Children’s Study is led by a consortium
of Federal partners: The U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (including the Eunice Kennedy
Shriver National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development and
the National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences of the National
Institutes of Health and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention), and
the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency.
To conduct the detailed preparation
needed for a study of this size and
complexity, the NCS was designed to
include a preliminary pilot study
known as the Vanguard Study. The
purpose of the Vanguard Study is to
assess the feasibility, acceptability, and
cost of the recruitment strategy, study
procedures, and outcome assessments
that are to be used in the NCS Main
Study. The Vanguard Study begins prior
to the NCS Main Study and will run in
parallel with the Main Study. At every
phase of the NCS, the multiple
methodological studies conducted
during the Vanguard phase will inform
the implementation and analysis plan
for the Main Study.
The results from formative research
and pilot tests proposed will inform the
feasibility (scientific robustness),
acceptability (burden to participants
and study logistics) and cost of NCS
Vanguard and Main Study recruitment,
retention, study visit measures and
study logistics in a manner that
minimizes public information collection
burden compared to burden anticipated
if these projects were incorporated
directly into either the NCS Vanguard or
Main Study.
With this submission, the NCS seeks
to renew its OMB generic clearance to
conduct survey and instrument design
and administration, focus groups,
cognitive interviews, and health and
social service provider feedback
information collection surrounding
outreach, engagement, recruitment,
consent and questionnaire design, and
retention activities. Under separate
notice, the NCS also requests OMB
generic clearance for formative research
featuring environmental,
neurodevelopmental, and study logistic
information collection. These separate
and distinct generic clearances will
facilitate the efficiency of submission
and review of these projects as required
by the OMB Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs.
