The Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is issuing this notice of intent to temporarily schedule three synthetic cathinones under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) pursuant to the temporary scheduling provisions of 21 U.S.C. 811(h). The substances are 4-methyl-N-methylcathinone (mephedrone), 3,4- methylenedioxy-N-methylcathinone (methylone), and 3,4- methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV). This action is based on a finding by the Administrator that the placement of these synthetic cathinones into schedule I of the CSA is necessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety. Any final order will be published in the Federal Register and may not be issued prior to October 11, 2011. Any final order will impose the administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions and regulatory controls of schedule I substances under the CSA on the manufacture, distribution, possession, importation, and exportation of these synthetic cathinones.

NMFS is opening directed fishing for pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) for 120 hours. This action is necessary to fully use the C season allowance of the 2011 total allowable catch (TAC) of pollock in Statistical Area 630 of the GOA.

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 Clinical Center, 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. Proposed Collection: Title: The SSA-NIH Collaboration to Improve the Disability Determination Process: Validation of IRT-CAT tools. Type of Information Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: The Epidemiology and Biostatistics section in RMD will be collecting information through a contractor (Boston UniversityHealth and Disability Research Institute (BU-HDR)) and subcontractor for validation of the Computer Adaptive Tests which are being developed to assist in the SSA disability determination process. The utilization of CAT technology could potentially allow the SSA to collect more relevant and precise data about human functioning in a faster, more efficient fashion. To validate the CAT assessments that have been developed, the contractor will administer both the BU-HDR CAT and established legacy instruments in a small sample of adults who report their current employment status as ``permanently disabled''. Individuals will complete the CAT tools for the functional domains of Physical Demands and Interpersonal Interactions along with established legacy instruments. For the domain of physical function, individuals will complete the BU-HDR CAT; the PROMIS Item Bank v 1.0Physical Functioning (copyright) PROMIS Health Organization and PROMIS Cooperative Group; and The Short Form (36) Health SurveyTM (SF-36). For the domain of interpersonal interactions, individuals will complete the BU-HDR CAT, the SF-36 and the BASIS- 24(copyright) (Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale). Data collected will be used to validate the BU-HDR CAT tools. Without this information, completion of the BU-HDR CAT tools will not be possible. Frequency of Response: Once. Affected Public: Individuals who have opted in to participate in web surveys through a survey research firm. Type of Respondents: Adults who indicate ``permanently disabled'' as a working status. There are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or Maintenance Costs to report. The annual reporting burden is as follows:
