Formal requests for additional plans and instruments must be requested in writing. Comments Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection are best assured of having their full effect if received within 60 days of the date of this publication. Proposed Collection: Web-based Media Literacy Parent Training for Substance Use Prevention in Rural Locations, 0925-New, National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH). Need and Use of Information Collection: This study will develop a web-based media literacy substance use prevention intervention for use with parents and their elementary school children (approximately ages 7–12), and will evaluate the program in a randomized controlled trial to establish program efficacy in six rural communities in North Carolina and Texas. The primary objectives of the study are to assess the efficacy of a media literacy education program that is specifically designed to overcome barriers to prevention efforts in rural communities, and to provide the scientific basis for establishing the program, Media Detective Family, as an evidence-based substance use prevention curriculum. The information will provide valuable information concerning: (1) The appropriateness of using technology for substance use prevention programming (i.e., internet, Smartphone, or tablet-based applications) to reach rural families with elementary school-aged children; (2) improvements in parents’ and children’s critical thinking skills associated with intervention exposure; (3) improvements in parent-child communication about substances and the media associated with intervention exposure; and (4) reductions in children’s behavioral intentions to use substances associated with intervention exposure. OMB approval is requested for two years. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 1067. E:\FR\FM\27MRN1.SGM 27MRN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    There is increased utilization of color in several areas of medical 
imaging and a wider range of availability of a variety of hardware and 
software platforms that rely on medical and non-medical devices to 
implement medical imaging product solutions for color imagery. This new 
reality has brought up issues related to the interoperability of 
devices and to the framework of accurately dealing with color data in 
medical imaging products. This workshop brings together key 
stakeholders to clearly identify areas of need, investigate solutions 
and propose best-practice approaches. The recommendations of the summit 
might include the creation of a technical special interest group either 
as part of the ICC or in some other forum and the establishment of 
best-practice guidelines for industry. The summit will address emerging 
utilization of color in medical imaging in areas including clinical 
photography, ophthalmic photography, digital microscopy, digital 
histopathology, endoscopy, laparoscopy, telemedicine, handheld mobile 
displays, display devices, color measurement, and standards and 
professional group recommendations from organizations such as the 
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, ICC, International

I. Topics

    There is increasing use of color in medical imaging but so far 
there is no clear definition of a technical framework for color 
management across the imaging chain from acquisition, pre- and post-
processing, to storage, transfer and display. Due to the increasing use 
of color images and the need for integrated electronic health records, 
this issue is of current relevance for device manufacturers, users, and 
regulators. In addition, topics might include color methods for 
handheld display devices, system approaches for color consistency, and 
inter-vendor interoperability.
    Scheduled session topics include: (1) General landscape of color 
use in medical imaging, (2) whole-slide imagers and digital microscopy/
histopathology, (3) endoscopy and laparoscopy, (4) other medical 
imaging modalities, (5) standards and professional organization 
recommendations, (6) color in telemedicine, and (7) color in mobile
