Additionally, fetal movement has long served as a measure for fetal well-being and nervous system development helping to identify adverse pregnancy outcomes. Identification of complications during pregnancy can allow for earlier interventions, including medications to reduce risk of perinatal mortality and maternal gene therapy. Researchers at NICHD have created a wearable and wireless device and protocol for continuously monitoring the placental oxygenation levels, multiple physiological signals and movement activities of a fetus and mother. The device includes a compact control board, a flexible near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) probe, and multiple accelerator probes. A classification algorithm based on MonteCarlo simulations of multiple layers model computes oxygen saturation of the placenta. There are one or more accelerator probes attached to different body parts of the mother to detect mother movement activities and to eliminate the effect of mother movement on fetal movement. The overall data acquisition rate of this device is 10 Hz or more. With this acquisition rate, the output of the device contains extra physiological signal such as maternal respiratory and cardiac functions, and fetal cardiac functions.

Overview of Information Collection Title of Information Collection: Labor Standards Deposit Account Voucher. OMB Approval Number: 2501–0021. Type of Request: This is an extension of a currently approved collection. Form Number: HUD–4734. Description of the need for the information and proposed use: HUD, State, Local and Tribal housing agencies administrating HUD-assisted programs must enforce Federal Labor Standards requirements, including the payment of prevailing wage rates to laborers and mechanics employed on HUD-assisted construction and maintenance work that is covered by these requirements. Enforcement activities include securing funds to ensure the payment of wage restitution that has been or may be found due to laborers and mechanics who were employed on HUD-assisted projects. Also, funds ae collected for the payment to the U.S. Treasury of liquidated damages that were assessed for violations of Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act (CWHSSA). If the labor standards discrepancies are resolved, HUD refunds associated amounts to the depositor. As underpaid laborers and mechanics are located, HUD sends wage restitution payments to the workers. E:\FR\FM\06DEN1.SGM 06DEN1
