Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Under the Hill-Burton Act, the
Government provides grants and loans
for construction or renovation of health
care facilities. As a condition of
receiving this construction assistance,
facilities are required to provide
services to persons unable to pay. A
condition of receiving this assistance
requires facilities to provide assurances
periodically that the required level of
uncompensated care is being provided,
and that certain notification and record
keeping procedures are being followed.
These standard requirements are
referred to as the uncompensated
services assurance.
The annual estimate of burden is as
follows:
Periodically, the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes abstracts of information
collection requests under review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institute of Child Health and Human
Development (NICHD), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget

approval of the information collection
listed below. This proposed information
collection was previously published in
the Federal Register on January 30,
2012, pages 4569–4571, and allowed 60
days for public comment. No written
comments were received. 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.

VerDate Mar<15>2010

The National Children’s Study,
Vanguard (Pilot) Study.
Type of Information Collection
Request: Revision.
Need and Use of Information Collection
The purpose of the proposed
methodological study is to continue the
Vanguard phase of the National
Children’s Study with updated
instruments and additional biospecimen
collections and physical measures and
to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability,
and cost of a different sampling strategy
for enrollment of pregnant women. This
study is one component of a larger
group of studies being conducted during
the Vanguard Phase of the National
Children’s Study (NCS), a prospective,
national longitudinal study of child
health and development. In
combination, these studies will be used
to inform the design of the Main Study
of the National Children’s Study.
Background
The National Children’s Study is a
prospective, national longitudinal study
of the interaction between environment,
genetics on child health and
development. The Study defines
‘‘environment’’ broadly, taking a
number of natural and man-made
environmental, biological, genetic, and
psychosocial factors into account.
Findings from the Study will be made
available as the research progresses,
making potential benefits known to the
public as soon as possible.
The National Children’s Study (NCS)
has several components, including a
pilot or Vanguard Study, and a Main
Study to collect exposure and outcome
data. The sample frame for the NCS
Vanguard and Main Study was initially
based on a national probability sample
using geography as the basis and
selecting about 100 of the about 3,000
counties in the United States as the
basis for Primary Sampling Units.
Within the Primary Sampling Units,
smaller geographic segments were
selected as Secondary Sampling Units
in an attempt to normalize live birth
rates per area sampled. Women who
resided at the time of enrollment within
a designated Secondary Sampling Unit
and were either pregnant or between 18

and 49 were eligible for enrollment. The
initial recruitment technique within the
selected geographic areas was
household contact by field workers
going door to door.
The Vanguard Study was launched in
January 2009 and, by the summer of
2009, field experience suggested that the
household contact recruitment strategy
was not feasible with available
resources. Thus, in 2010, new
recruitment strategies were launched to
evaluate options. By late 2011, the NCS
had sufficient data to evaluate
operational aspects of various
recruitment strategies. Preliminary
analyses suggested that a ProviderBased Recruitment strategy was the
most efficient, but due to constrictions
of the geographic sampling frame, the
potential of the strategy was limited.
Specifically, many women had to be
screened at a particular provider to
locate the relatively few who resided in
a designated segment. Anticipating this
limitation, the NCS Program Office
developed and discussed with the NCS
Federal Advisory Committee a different
sampling frame using provider location.
This new sampling strategy is termed
Provider-Based Sampling (PBS).
Information from this data collection is
critical to determine the plausibility of
a provider-based sampling frame as an
option for some parts of the NCS Main
Study.
Research Questions
Two research goals will be
accomplished by this information
collection. One goal is to test the
feasibility of Provider-Based Sampling
using three study locations. Another
goal is to systematically pilot additional
study visit measures and collections to
assess the scientific robustness, burden
to participants and study infrastructure,
and cost for use in the Vanguard (Pilot)
Study and to inform the design of the
Main Study.
Methods
Provider Based Sampling
We will compile a list of prenatal
providers serving women who reside
within the Primary Sampling Unit at
three study locations. Providers will be
asked to complete a brief questionnaire
