Download as PDF 18545 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 67 / Friday, April 9, 2021 / Notices OMB No. 0990–NEW—Office of Population Affairs—OASH–OS Abstract The Office of Population Affairs (OPA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting 3 years of approval by OMB on a new collection. The Components Study of REAL Essential Curriculum will identify the components that matter the most for promoting positive health behaviors and outcomes among adolescents. The study will examine program components (for example, content and dosage), implementation components (for example, attendance and engagement), and contextual components (for example, participant characteristics) to determine which components influence participant outcomes the most. In addition, the study will measure youth engagement in programming from various perspectives and examine the role of engagement as a mediating factor to achieving youth outcomes. Sites participating in the study will use the REAL Essentials Advance (REA) relationship curriculum, a popular program among federal pregnancy prevention grantees. The study will enroll schools from spring to fall 2022 (and possibly spring 2023, if necessary). The study will collect youth outcomes surveys at baseline, at program exit and 6 months following the completion of the program. The study will also collect extensive implementation data, which includes youth engagement exit ticket surveys after REA sessions, focus groups with youth and program facilitator logs and attendance records. Study staff will also interview facilitators and site leadership. ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOUR TABLE Average burden per response Respondents (if necessary) Youth Outcome Survey Baseline ......

A signed Confidential Disclosure Agreement will be required to receive copies of unpublished information related to the invention. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Technology description follows. Polyvalent Influenza Virus-Like Particles (VLPs) and Use as Vaccines Description of Technology Influenza virus is a major public health concern, causing up to 500,000 deaths annually. The current strategy of reformulating vaccines annually against dominant circulating strains leads to variable protective efficacy and is unlikely to protect against novel influenza viruses with pandemic potential. Thus, there is a great need for a vaccine that provides ‘‘universal’’ protection against influenza viruses. This technology relates to a broadly protective, universal influenza vaccine candidate composed of a mixture of virus-like particles (VLPs) expressing the hemagglutinin protein or the neuraminidase protein from influenza virus strains belonging to different virus subtypes. Vaccinating animals with a mixture of VLPs expressing four or more hemagglutinin subtypes provides broad and heterosubtypic protection against lethal challenge with influenza virus strains in both mice and ferrets. This vaccine technology has great potential to provide protection against both annual epidemic and pandemicpotential influenza viruses. This technology is available for licensing for commercial development in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 209 and 37 CFR part 404. Potential Commercial Applications • Vaccines against influenza virus • Universal influenza virus vaccine Competitive Advantages • Broad/universal protection against both seasonal and pandemic-potential influenza viruses • Does not require yearly reformulation as is necessary with current commercially available influenza vaccines Development Stage • In vivo data assessment (animal) E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1
