health services; (3) educating
stakeholders (parents, community
leaders, and other constituents) about
relevant evidence-based or evidenceinformed strategies to reduce teen
pregnancy; and (4) supporting the
sustainability of the community-wide
teen pregnancy prevention effort
through capacity building and improved
coordination of services.
CDC proposes to collect the
information needed to conduct a
process and intermediate outcome
evaluation of these efforts. The
information collection and evaluation
plan will systematically document
capacity building within funded
communities and the extent to which
communities implement multicomponent, community-wide initiative
activities. Respondents for the nine state
and community awardees will include
the project director/coordinator for each
site, evaluators, and other program staff.
In addition, to gain a variety of
perspectives, information will be
requested from multiple community and
clinical partners associated with each
state or community awardee (e.g.,
program implementers and core
advisory group members). Information
collected from these respondents will
include needs assessments. Finally,
CDC will collect information about the
training and technical assistance needs
of state and community awardees, and
national organizations, which have been
funded to support community-wide teen
pregnancy prevention (TPP) activities.
The training and technical assistance
reporting forms will be submitted to
CDC electronically through an
interactive web-based system. The
remaining information collection forms
will initially be fielded in hardcopy, but
respondents may submit the completed
forms to CDC via electronic mail. To
allow flexibility based on awardee
preferences, web-based reporting
options may be implemented for all
forms. Assessment and performance
information will be reported to CDC
annually. Training and technical
assistance needs will be reported
monthly so that CDC can provide
immediate, targeted technical assistance
as needed.
The assessment information,
performance measures and training and
technical assistance information to be
collected are critical to understanding
(1) the teen pregnancy prevention needs
of each target community, (2) quality
implementation practices associated
with evidence-based programs and
contraceptive access, and (3) the impact
of implemented strategies.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
1,150.

implement and effectively manage the
new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines
which have been promulgated by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a final rule, advice on
methods of dose reconstruction which
have also been promulgated by HHS as
a final rule, advice on the scientific
validity and quality of dose estimation
and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the
compensation program, and advice on
petitions to add classes of workers to the
Special Exposure Cohort (SEC).
In December 2000, the President
delegated responsibility for funding,
staffing, and operating the Advisory
Board to HHS, which subsequently
delegated this authority to the CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on
August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate
intervals, and will expire on August 3,
2013.
Purpose: This Advisory Board is
charged with (a) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the development of
guidelines under Executive Order
13179; (b) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the scientific
validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on
whether there is a class of employees at
any Department of Energy (DOE) facility
who were exposed to radiation but for
whom it is not feasible to estimate their
radiation dose, and on whether there is
reasonable likelihood that such
radiation doses may have endangered
the health of members of this class.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda
for the Advisory Board meeting
includes: NIOSH Program Update;
Department of Labor Program Update;
DOE Program Update; SEC petitions for:
Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Hanford
(1987–1989; petition #155), Los Alamos
National Laboratory, Rocky Flats Plant,
General Steel Industries (Granite City,
IL), Weldon Spring Plant (Weldon
Spring, MO), Mound Plant, United
Nuclear Corporation (Hematite, MO),
Nuclear Metals Inc. (Concord, MA), and
Pantex Plant; Baker-Perkins Company
(Saginaw, MI) Technical Basis
Document Review; SEC Petitions Status
Update; and Board Work Sessions.
Agenda items are subject to change as
priorities dictate.

reasonable steps to ensure that
individuals making public comment are
aware of the fact that their comments
(including their name, if provided) will
appear in a transcript of the meeting
posted on a public Web site. Such
reasonable steps include: (a) A
statement read at the start of each public
comment period stating that transcripts
will be posted and names of speakers
will not be redacted; (b) A printed copy
of the statement mentioned in (a) above
will be displayed on the table where

site; (d) A statement such as in (a) above
will appear in the Federal Register
Notice that announces Board and
Subcommittee meetings. (3) If an
individual in making a statement
reveals personal information (e.g.,
medical information) about themselves
that information will not usually be
redacted. The NIOSH Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) coordinator
will, however, review such revelations
in accordance with FOIA and the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) and if deemed appropriate, will
redact such information. (4) All
disclosures of information concerning
third parties will be redacted. (5) If it
comes to the attention of the Designated
Federal Officer (DFO) that an individual
wishes to share information with the
Board but objects to doing so in a public
forum, the DFO will work with that
individual, in accordance with FACA,
