publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. This proposed
information collection was previously
published in the Federal Register on
April 27, 2011, pages 23608–23609, and
allowed 60 days for public comment.
Two written comments and two verbal
comments were received. The verbal
comments expressed support for the
broad scope of the study. The written
comments were identical and
questioned the cost and utility of the
study specifically and of federally
funded biomedical research overall. The
purpose of this notice is to allow an
additional 30 days for public comment.

(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
(2) investigate basic mechanisms of
developmental disorders and environmental
factors, both risk and protective, that
influence health and developmental
processes.
(c) Requirement.—The study under
subsection (b) shall—
(1) incorporate behavioral, emotional,
educational, and contextual consequences to
enable a complete assessment of the physical,
chemical, biological, and psychosocial

environmental influences on children’s wellbeing;
(2) gather data on environmental
influences and outcomes on diverse
populations of children, which may include
the consideration of prenatal exposures; and
(3) consider health disparities among
children, which may include the
consideration of prenatal exposures.
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 obtain OMB’s generic
approval to conduct survey and
instrument design and administration,
focus groups, cognitive interviews, and
health and social service provider
information collection surrounding
outreach, engagement, recruitment,
consent and questionnaire design, and
retention activities.
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.
Frequency of Response: Annual [As
needed on an on-going and concurrent
basis].
Affected Public: Members of the
public, researchers, practitioners, and
other health professionals.
Type of Respondents: Women of
child-bearing age, fathers, community
leaders, members, and organizations,
health care facilities and professionals,
public health, environmental, social and
cognitive science professional
organizations and practitioners, hospital
administrators, cultural and faith-based
centers, and schools and child care
organizations. These include both
persons enrolled in the NCS Vanguard
Study and their peers who are not
participating in the NCS Vanguard
Study.
Annual reporting burden: See Table 1.
The annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at: $300,000 (based on $10 per
hour). There are no Capital Costs to
report. There are no Operating or
Maintenance Costs to report.

SUMMARY: 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. This proposed information collection was previously published
in the Federal Register on April 27, 2011, pages 23608-23609, and
allowed 60 days for public comment. Two written comments and two verbal
comments were received. The verbal comments expressed support for the
broad scope of the study. The written comments were identical and
questioned the cost and utility of the study specifically and of
federally funded biomedical research overall. The purpose of this
notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment.
Proposed Collection:
Title: Formative Research Studies for the National Children's Study
(NCS)
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 (Pub. L. 106-310) states:
(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
(2) investigate basic mechanisms of developmental disorders and
environmental factors, both risk and protective, that influence
health and developmental processes.
(c) Requirement.--The study under subsection (b) shall--
(1) incorporate behavioral, emotional, educational, and
contextual consequences to enable a complete assessment of the
physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial
[[Page 38402]]
environmental influences on children's well-being;
(2) gather data on environmental influences and outcomes on
diverse populations of children, which may include the consideration
of prenatal exposures; and
(3) consider health disparities among children, which may
include the consideration of prenatal exposures.
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 obtain OMB's generic
approval to conduct survey and instrument design and administration,
focus groups, cognitive interviews, and health and social service
provider information collection surrounding outreach, engagement,
recruitment, consent and questionnaire design, and retention
activities.
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.
Frequency of Response: Annual [As needed on an on-going and
concurrent basis].
Affected Public: Members of the public, researchers, practitioners,
and other health professionals.
Type of Respondents: Women of child-bearing age, fathers, community
leaders, members, and organizations, health care facilities and

administrators, cultural and faith-based centers, and schools and child
care organizations. These include both persons enrolled in the NCS
Vanguard Study and their peers who are not participating in the NCS
Vanguard Study.
Annual reporting burden: See Table 1. The annualized cost to
respondents is estimated at: $300,000 (based on $10 per hour). There
are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance
Costs to report.
