burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this
notice.
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘family formation, growth,
and dissolution,’’ as well as
‘‘determinants of health’’ and
‘‘utilization of health care’’ in the
United States. This three-year clearance
request includes the data collection in
2012–2014 for the continuous NSFG.
The National Survey of Family
Growth (NSFG) was conducted
periodically between 1973 and 2002,
continuously in 2006–2010, and
continuously starting in Fall 2011, by
the National Center for Health Statistics,
CDC. Each year, about 14,000
households are screened, with about
5,000 participants interviewed annually.
Participation in the NSFG is completely
voluntary and confidential. Interviews
average 60 minutes for males and 80
minutes for females. The response rate
since 2006 is about 77 percent for both
males and females.
The NSFG program produces
descriptive statistics which measure
factors associated with birth and
PO 00000

pregnancy rates, including
contraception, infertility, marriage,
divorce, and sexual activity, in the US
population 15–44 years; and behaviors
that affect the risk of sexually
transmitted diseases (STD), including
HIV, and the medical care associated
with contraception, infertility, and
pregnancy and childbirth.
NSFG data users include the DHHS
programs that fund it, including CDC/
NCHS and ten others (The Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute for
Child Health and Human Development
(NIH/NICHD); the Office of Population
Affairs (DHHS/OPA); the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation (DHHS/OASPE); the
Children’s Bureau (DHHS/ACF/CB); the
ACF’s Office of Planning, Research, and
Evaluation; the CDC’s Division of HIV/
AIDS Prevention (CDC/DHAP); the
CDC’s Division of STD Prevention
(CDC/DSTD); the CDC’s Division of
Reproductive Health (CDC/DRH); the
CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention
and Control (CDC/DCPC); and the CDC’s
Division of Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (DBDDD).
The NSFG is also used by state and local
governments; private research and
action organizations focused on men’s
and women’s health, child well-being,
marriage and the family; academic
researchers in the social and public
health sciences; journalists, and many
others.
This submission requests approval for
three years. No questionnaire changes
are requested in the first 18 months of
this clearance; some limited changes
may be requested after that, to be
responsive to emerging public policy
issues.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.

Background and Brief Description
This project involves research to
assess the potential adverse health
effects among children who resided in
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA)-provided temporary housing
units deployed in the Gulf Coast region
VerDate Mar<15>2010

following hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
The title of this study has changed since
publication of the initial 60-day Federal
Register Notice (FRN) (previous title
‘‘The Gulf Coast Children’s Health
Study’’); however, the goals remain the
same.
The Children’s Health Study After the
Storms (CHATS) addresses an important
public health need to assess the
potential short-term and long-term
health effects among children who lived
in FEMA-provided temporary housing
units following hurricanes Katrina and
Rita, and who were potentially exposed
to higher levels of indoor air pollutants
such as formaldehyde and other volatile
organic compounds compared to other
types of housing. These health effects
may include adverse acute and chronic
health conditions, primarily respiratory
and dermal, that may be associated with
their exposures. Plans involve a twoyear Feasibility Study to investigate the
association between exposure to
temporary housing units and health
conditions and to assess the practicality
of conducting a larger longitudinal
study. If certain feasibility objectives are
met, such as identifying a sufficient
number of eligible participants, a 6-year
Full Study will be conducted following
the same study design as the Feasibility
Study.
The Feasibility Study will be
conducted in the states of Louisiana and
Mississippi. The study will assess the
potential health impacts from exposures
to various indoor pollutants (e.g.,
formaldehyde and other volatile organic
compounds and plasticizers, including
phthalates) commonly found in higher
concentrations in the temporary housing
units compared with other types of
housing.
In the study, a 1:1 ratio of exposed
and unexposed children age 3–15 years
will be recruited. Children who resided
in temporary housing units will be
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
categorized into the ‘‘exposed’’ group
and children who did not reside in
temporary housing units will be
categorized into the ‘‘unexposed’’ group.
A screening questionnaire will be used
to assess eligibility and exposure to
temporary housing units. The screening
questionnaire will be conducted with
one adult resident of each selected
household. Based on responses to the
screening questions, one eligible child
will be selected for the study from each
participating household. To obtain the
desired sample size, we plan to screen
2,236 households in order to identify
625 eligible children. Of these, it is
expected that 80%, or 500 children, will
agree to participate in the study.
The Feasibility Study will involve a
baseline and a 6-month follow-up
assessment for each participant, and
each assessment is divided into two
sessions. The baseline assessment will
include a health questionnaire, clinical
assessment including biological sample
collection, and environmental exposure
measurement. The environmental
exposure assessment will be collecting
biomarkers of exposure and measuring
exposures to environmental pollutants
using personal and indoor sampling
devices over a 7-day period. In the 6month follow-up assessment, a shorter
version of the health questionnaire and
the same clinical and environmental
exposure assessments will be
conducted.
Accounting for a 10% loss to followup, the sample size for the 6-month
follow-up assessment is projected to be
450 children. If a determination is made
to conduct the Full Study, these 450
children will be part of the Full Study
and continue to participate in the rest of
follow-up assessments.
There is no cost to the participants
except their time. The total estimated
annual burden hours are 1,310.
