This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2011 (76 FR 21383). One public comment was received on April 15 requesting a copy of the data collection package. The submission was sent to the requestor on April 21. 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: Food Reporting Comparison Study (FORCS) and Food and Eating Assessment Study (FEAST) (NCI). Type of Information Collection Request: Extension. Need and Use of Information Collection: The title of this collection was previously, ‘‘24Hour Dietary Recall Method Comparison and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Observational Feeding Studies.’’ The objective of the two studies is to compare the performance of the newly developed computerized Number of respondents Questionnaire Frequency of response Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour Recall (ASA24) approach to collecting 24-hour recall (24HR) data with the current standard, the intervieweradministered Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM). The ultimate goal is to determine to what extent the new automated instrument can be used instead of the more expensive interviewer-administered instrument in the collection of dietary intake data. Frequency of Response: Twice. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: For the FORCS study, approximately 1,200 adult members from three health maintenance organization plans (in Minnesota, California, and Michigan) between ages 20 and 70 years. For the FEAST study, approximately 90 adult residents from the Washington, DC metropolitan area between ages 20 and 70 years. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 866 hours (see table below). This amounts to an estimated 2598 burden hours over the 3-year data collection period with a total cost to the respondents $54,293.

This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on May 2, 2011, pages 24497–24498, and allowed 60 days for public comment. No comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. Proposed Collection Title: Neuro-developmental and Psycho-Social Measures Formative Research Studies for the National Children’s Study (NCS). Type of Information Collection Request: Generic Clearance. 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 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 will be used to maximize the efficiency (measured by scientific robustness, participant and infrastructure burden, and cost) of tools to assess language, behavior, and neurodevelopment, psychosocial stress, and health literacy and thereby inform 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 clearance to conduct formative research featuring neurodevelopmental and psycho-social measures. The results from these formative research projects will inform the feasibility (scientific robustness), acceptability (burden to participants and study logistics) and cost of NCS Vanguard and Main Study neurodevelopmental and psycho-social measures 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. 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, infants, children, 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: $540,000 (based on $10 per hour). There are no Capital Costs to report. There are no Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Food Reporting 
Comparison Study (FORCS) and Food and Eating Assessment Study (FEAST) 
(NCI)

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the 
National Institutes of Health (NIH), has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) a request to review and approve the 
information collection listed below. This proposed information 
collection was previously published in the Federal Register on April 
15, 2011 (76 FR 21383). One public comment was received on April 15 
requesting a copy of the data collection package. The submission was 
sent to the requestor on April 21. 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: Food Reporting Comparison Study (FORCS) 
and Food and Eating Assessment Study (FEAST) (NCI). Type of Information 
Collection Request: Extension. Need and Use of Information Collection: 
The title of this collection was previously, ``24-Hour Dietary Recall 
Method Comparison and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Observational 
Feeding Studies.'' The objective of the two studies is to compare the 
performance of the newly developed computerized Automated Self-
Administered 24-Hour Recall (ASA24) approach to collecting 24-hour 
recall (24HR) data with the current standard, the interviewer-
administered Automated Multiple Pass Method (AMPM). The ultimate goal 
is to determine to what extent the new automated instrument can be used 
instead of the more expensive interviewer-administered instrument in 
the collection of dietary intake data. Frequency of Response: Twice. 
Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: For the FORCS study, 
approximately 1,200 adult members from three health maintenance 
organization plans (in Minnesota, California, and Michigan) between 
ages 20 and 70 years. For the FEAST study, approximately 90 adult 
residents from the Washington, DC metropolitan area between ages 20 and 
70 years. The annual reporting burden is estimated at 866 hours (see 
table below). This amounts to an estimated 2598 burden hours over the 
3-year data collection period with a total cost to the respondents 
$54,293. There are no Capital costs, Operating costs, and/or 
Maintenance costs to report.
