SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Collection: Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study—Second Wave of Data Collection–0925–0664–Revision— National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), in partnership with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Need and Use of Information Collection: This is a revision request (OMB 0925–0664, expires 11/30/2015) for the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study to conduct the second wave of data collection. The PATH Study is a large national longitudinal cohort study on tobacco use behavior and health among the U.S. household population of adults age 18 and older and youth ages 12 to 17. The PATH Study conducts annual interviews and collects biospecimens from adults to help inform the development, implementation, and evaluation of tobacco-product regulations by FDA in meeting its mission under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (TCA) to regulate tobacco products, including tobacco-product advertising, labeling, marketing, constituents, ingredients, and additives. The longitudinal design of the PATH Study provides it with the capacity to measure and report within-person changes and between-person differences in tobacco product use behaviors and health effects within the cohort over time. These data will help to inform regulatory decisions and actions by FDA and FDA’s evaluations of associations between its regulations and tobacco use behaviors and health indicators in the population. OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no capital, operating, or maintenance costs to report. There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 75,124.

The assay, termed IgG-Capture BED–EIA, incorporates a branched peptide derived from 3 different subtypes to allow equivalent detection of antibodies of different subtypes. The competitive format of the assay allows detection of increasing proportion of HIV–1 IgG for almost 2 years after seroconversion. This is different from what is normally observed in a conventional EIA (with antigen coated plates) that plateaus soon after seroconversion. This assay will be important for HIV prevention activities, targeting resources, and evaluation of ongoing interventions. Potential Commercial Applications: • HIV clinical serodiagnostics • Informing clinical decision-making • Public health/HIV monitoring programs and incidence surveillance Competitive Advantages: • Ready for commercialization • Simple and high-throughput capable • Detects HIV–1 subtypes prevalent in N. America, Europe, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and also central and E.
