The Key Questions
Key Question 1: In patients presenting
to the emergency department or urgent
care facilities with signs or symptoms
suggestive of heart failure (HF):
1. What is the test performance of
BNP and NT-proBNP for HF?
2. What are the optimal decision cut
points for BNP and NT-proBNP to
diagnose and exclude HF?
3. What determinants affect the test
performance of BNP and NTproBNP
(e.g., age, gender, comorbidity)?
Key Question 2: In patients presenting
to a primary care physician with risk
factors, signs, or symptoms suggestive of
HF:
1. What is the test performance of
BNP and NT-proBNP for HF?
2. What are the optimal decision cut
points for BNP and NT-proBNP to
diagnose and exclude HF?
3. What determinants affect the test
performance of BNP and NTproBNP
(e.g., age, gender, comorbidity)?
Key Question 3: In HF populations, is
BNP or NT-pro BNP measured at
admission, discharge or change between
admission and discharge an
independent predictor of morbidity and
mortality outcomes?
Key Question 4: In HF populations,
does BNP measured at admission,
discharge or change between admission
and discharge add predictive
information to other prognostic
methods?
Key Question 5: Is BNP or NT-pro
BNP measured in the community setting
an independent predictor of morbidity
and mortality outcomes in general
populations?
Key Question 6: In patients with HF,
does BNP assisted therapy or intensified
therapy compared to usual care,
improve outcomes?
Key Question 7: What is the biological
variation of BNP and NT-proBNP in
patients with HF and without HF?

Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Administration on Aging
(AoA) is announcing an opportunity for
public comment on the proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information by the agency.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (the PRA), Federal agencies are
required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information, and
to allow 60 days for public comment in
response to the notice. This notice
solicits comments on the information
collection requirements relating to
Performance Reports for Title VI grants.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by March 26, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to: Margaret.Graves@aoa.
hhs.gov. Submit written comments on
the collection of information to Margaret
Graves, Administration on Aging,
Washington, DC 20201 or by fax at (202)
357–3560).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Margaret Graves at (202) 357–3502 or
Margaret.Graves@aoa.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency request
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, AoA is publishing notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection
of information, AoA invites comments
on: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of AoA’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
AoA’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
AoA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:
Annual submission of the Program
Performance Reports are due 90 days

Proposed Project
Racial and Ethnic Approaches to
Community Health (REACH) US
Evaluation—Revision — National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
From 2009–2011, CDC conducted
annual risk factor surveys that tracked
health trends among racial and ethnic
minority groups (OMB No. 0920–0805,
exp. 2/29/2012). The surveys were
conducted in areas where community
interventions were implemented as part
of the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to
Community Health across the U.S.
(REACH US) program. The REACH US
program is a national multilevel strategy
to reduce and eliminate health
disparities in racial and ethnic
minorities. Priority areas for the
program include breast and cervical
cancer; cardiovascular disease; diabetes
mellitus; adult/older adult
immunization, hepatitis B, and/or
tuberculosis; asthma; and infant
mortality. Priority populations for the
program are African American,
American Indian, Alaska Native,
Hispanic American, Asian American,
and Pacific Islander citizens.
CDC is requesting OMB approval to
conduct two additional cycles of data
collection in 2012 and 2013. Risk factor
information will be collected from a
random sample of adults in 28 REACH
US communities (900 individuals per
community). After households have
been selected through address-based
sampling, health information will be
collected through a self-administered,
mailed questionnaire, or through
interviews conducted by telephone or
in-person with members of the selected
households.
The estimated burden per response is
15 minutes. The surveys will help to
assess the prevalence of various risk
factors associated with chronic diseases,
deficits in breast and cervical cancer
screening and management, and deficits
in adult immunizations. Survey results
will be used for REACH US program
evaluation and to assess progress
towards the national goal of eliminating
health disparities within minority
populations.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. Minor changes to the survey
questions will be implemented, and
adjustments will be made to the
estimated number of respondents.
Participation is voluntary and there are
no costs to respondents other than their
time. The total estimated burden hours
are 9,460.

Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. Under Public Law 91–
596, Section 20 and 22 (section 20–22,
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970), NIOSH has the responsibility to
conduct research to advance the health
and safety of workers. In this capacity,
NIOSH will administer a questionnaire
designed to assess differences in
approaches to and perspectives of
workplace safety between Americanborn and Latino immigrant workers.
The rapid growth of Latino immigrant
population in the United States has
increased the demand for Spanishlanguage occupational safety and health
training materials. Typically, this need
has been met by translating existing,
English-language training materials into
Spanish rather than developing new
materials specifically designed for
