ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
announces the availability of the ‘‘First
Periodic Review of Scientific and
Medical Evidence Related to Cancer for
the World Trade Center Health
Program.’’ The Review can be found at:

SUMMARY:

prc/prc-1.html.
Background: The James Zadroga 9/11
Health and Compensation Act of 2010
(Pub. L. 111–347), Title XXXIII of the
Public Health Service Act, 124 Stat.
3623 (codified at 42 U.S.C. 300mm–
300mm–61) requires in Section 300mm–
22(a)(5)(A) that the Administrator of the
World Trade Center (WTC) Health
Program ‘‘periodically conduct a review
of all available scientific and medical
evidence, including findings and
recommendations of Clinical Centers of
Excellence, published in peer-reviewed
journals to determine if, based on such
evidence, cancer or a certain type of
cancer should be added to the
applicable list of WTC-related health
conditions.’’
The first periodic Review of Cancer
provides a summary of the current
scientific and medical findings in the
peer-reviewed literature about
exposures resulting from the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York
City and cancer studies. The review
discusses criteria that have been used
previously to assist in weighing the
scientific evidence to determine if a
causal association exists between
exposure and cancer. The review
summarizes input from the public on
three questions regarding conditions
relating to cancer for consideration
under the WTC Health Program, as
requested in the Federal Register on
March 8, 2011 (76 FR 12740) and
modified on March 29, 2011 (76 FR
17421). See https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
docket/archive/docket227.html.
The review also provides reports from
the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, the
Bureau of Health Services of the Fire
Department of New York City, the WTC
Health Registry of the New York City
Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene and the New York State
Department of Health about cancer
studies ongoing or planned.
Based on the scientific and medical
findings in the peer-reviewed literature
reported in the first periodic Review of
Cancer for the WTC Health Program,
insufficient evidence exists at this time
to propose a rule to add cancer, or a
certain type of cancer, to the List of
WTC-Related Health Conditions found
at 42 U.S.C. 300mm–22(a)(3) through (4)
and 300mm–32(b).

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: Child Care Quarterly Case
Record Report—ACF–801.
OMB No.: 0970–0167.
Description: Section 658K of the Child
Care and Development Block Grant Act
of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–508, 42 U.S.C.
9858) requires that States and
Territories submit monthly case-level
data on the children and families
receiving direct services under the Child
Care and Development Fund. The
implementing regulations for the
statutorily required reporting are at
45 CFR 98.70. Case-level reports,
submitted quarterly or monthly (at
grantee option, include monthly sample
or full population case-level data. The
data elements to be included in these
reports are represented in the ACF–801.
ACF uses disaggregate data to determine
program and participant characteristics
as well as costs and levels of child care
services provided. This provides ACF
with the information necessary to make
reports to Congress, address national
child care needs, offer technical
assistance to grantees, meet performance
measures, and conduct research.
Consistent with the statute and
regulations, ACF requests extension of
the ACF–801. With this extension, ACF
is proposing to add several new data
elements as well as some minor changes
and clarifications to the existing
reporting requirements and instructions.
These proposed revisions to the ACF–
801 would allow OCC to capture childlevel data on provider quality for each
child receiving a child care subsidy.
Respondents: States, the District of
Columbia, and Territories including
Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,
American Samoa, and the Northern
Marianna Islands.
