Project Title: Assessment of the Impact of Energy Development on the Behavioral Health of Women in Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana, The Region VIII Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office on Women’s Health (OWH). Abstract: The Office on Women’s Health (OWH) in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new data collection for the Assessment of the Impact of Energy Development on the Behavioral Health of Women in Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana. Its mission is to provide national leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls through policy, education and model programs. Region VIII OASH/OWH is interested in improving women’s behavioral health associated with the impact of energy development through gender based data collection and analysis. The discovery and subsequent development of the Parshall Oil Field within the Bakken region of Western North Dakota has led to significant economic opportunity and population growth in the region (Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota). Rapid population growth has many intended and unintended consequences, both positive and negative, on the social and economic environment of the region and, consequently, the population’s health and well-being. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: There are welldocumented environmental health issues associated with oil and gas development, including air, water, soil, noise, and light pollution. However, there are additional social, physical and mental health effects that are less well documented. Current research is very limited, but preliminary evidence suggests that women have unmet behavioral health needs due in part to the energy development and population surge in region. These data will ultimately be used to understand the impact of energy development on the behavioral health of women in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota.

SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 HIV Targets CD62L on Central Memory T Cells Through Viral Envelope Glycans for Adhesion and Induces Selectin Shedding for Viral Release Description of Technology DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY: 301–496–2644. A signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be required to receive copies of unpublished patent applications. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows. Sfmt 4703 Despite the success of anti-retroviral therapy in controlling HIV in infected individuals, treatment is less effective at eliminating HIV viral reservoirs. The nature of HIV reservoirs and the factors controlling their size and release are a major research focus for achieving a cure for HIV/AIDS. NIAID researchers have identified Lselectin/CD62L as a new target for treating HIV by inhibiting viral release from infected cells. They found that shedding of CD62L on T cells is required for the efficient release of HIV virus from infected cells. Further, they have shown that inhibition of CD62L shedding dramatically reduced HIV–1 infection and viral release from both viremic and aviremic CD4+ T cells. Therefore, inhibitors for CD62L sheddase can function as an anti-HIV treatment that may be effective alone or in combination with existing therapeutics. This technology is available for licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404, as well as for further development and evaluation under a research collaboration. Potential Commercial Applications • New target for HIV therapeutic development. E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM 28AUN1

    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health (OWH) in the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for a new data collection for the Assessment of the Impact

leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls 
through policy, education and model programs. Region VIII OASH/OWH is 
interested in improving women's behavioral health associated with the 
impact of energy development through gender based data collection and 
analysis. The discovery and subsequent development of the Parshall Oil 
Field within the Bakken region of Western North Dakota has led to 
significant economic opportunity and population growth in the region 
(Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota). Rapid population growth has 
many intended and unintended consequences, both positive and negative, 
on the social and economic environment of the region and, consequently, 
the population's health and well-being.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: There are well-documented 
environmental health issues associated with oil and gas development, 
including air, water, soil, noise, and light pollution. However, there 
are additional social, physical and mental health effects that are less 
well documented. Current research is very limited, but preliminary 
evidence suggests that women have unmet behavioral health needs due in

data will ultimately be used to understand the impact of energy 
development on the behavioral health of women in Eastern Montana and 
Western North Dakota.

describes key findings and strategic recommendations for Region VIII 
OASH/OWH to consider supporting future evidence-based program 
development and implementation, policy recommendations, and future 
research.
