Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of Pregnancy Prevention
Approaches—First Follow-up
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent
Health (OAH), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting an extension without change
of a currently approved information
collection request by OMB. The purpose
of the extension is to complete the
ongoing follow-up data collection for
the Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy
Prevention Approaches (PPA), a multisite random assignment evaluation of
promising approaches to teen pregnancy
prevention.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The PPA study is being
conducted in seven program sites
around the country. The proposed
extension is necessary to complete
ongoing follow-up data collection in
five of the seven study sites. The
resulting data will be used in a rigorous
program impact analysis to assess the
effectiveness of each program in
reducing rates of teen pregnancy and
associated sexual risk behaviors.
Likely Respondents: The 1484 youth
participants who agreed to participate in
the study upon sample enrollment in 5
impact study sites.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1978
the Secretary of Health and Human
Services established the National
Toxicology Program (NTP) to coordinate
toxicological testing programs within
the Department, strengthen the science
base in toxicology, develop and validate
improved testing methods, and provide
information about potentially toxic
agents to health regulatory and research
agencies, medical and scientific
communities, and the public. The NTP
is an interagency program that provides
E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM
04FEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Notices
information that improves the nation’s
ability to evaluate potential human
health effects from chemical or physical
exposures. The NTP plays a critical role
in providing needed scientific data,
interpretations, and guidance on the
appropriate uses of data to regulatory
agencies and other groups involved in
health-related research and in providing
information to regulatory agencies about
alternative methods for toxicity
screening.
The results of NTP’s long-term,
generally two-year, toxicology and
carcinogenicity studies, are published as
NTP Technical Reports. The NTP uses
established criteria to evaluate the
findings and determine the strength of
the evidence for conclusions regarding
the carcinogenic activity of each
substance evaluated. Panels are
technical, scientific advisory bodies
established to provide independent
scientific peer review of the draft NTP
Technical Reports.
Copies of the charters for the
designated committees can be obtained
by accessing the FACA data base that is
maintained by the Committee
Management Secretariat under the
General Services Administration.
