Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Director (OD), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for review and approval of the information collection listed below. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on June 16, 2009 (Volume 74, Number 114, pages 28501-28502) and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Patient Safety and Quality Improvement: Civil Money Penalty Inflation Adjustment
The Department of Health and Human Services amends the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Rule by adjusting for inflation the maximum civil money penalty amount for violations of the confidentiality provisions of the Rule. We are amending the penalty amount to comply with the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990. We are using direct final rulemaking for this action because we expect that there will be no significant adverse comment on the rule.
Patient Safety and Quality Improvement: Civil Money Penalty Inflation Adjustment
The Department of Health and Human Services is publishing this companion proposed rule to the direct final rule, published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, which amends the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Rule by adjusting for inflation the maximum civil money penalty amount for violations of the confidentiality provisions of the Rule.

Microbiology Devices; Reclassification of Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to amend its device classification regulations by correcting the regulation classifying herpes simplex virus (HSV) serological assays by removing the reference to HSV serological assays other than type 1 and type 2. When reclassifying this device, FDA mistakenly distinguished between HSV serological assays type 1 and type 2 and all other HSV serological assays. At that time, and today, the only preamendments HSV serological assays FDA was aware of were type 1 and type 2, and therefore, the classification of HSV assays other than type 1 and type 2 was incorrect. FDA is correcting the classification of this device to eliminate possible confusion resulting from this error. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a companion direct final rule. This proposed rule will provide a procedural framework to finalize the rule in the event we receive significant adverse comment and withdraw the direct final rule.
Microbiology Devices; Reclassification of Herpes Simplex Virus Types 1 and 2 Serological Assays
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is implementing a direct final rule correcting the regulation classifying herpes simplex virus (HSV) serological assays by removing the reference to HSV serological assays other than type 1 and type 2. When reclassifying this device, FDA mistakenly distinguished between HSV serological assays type 1 and type 2 and all other HSV serological assays. At that time, and today, the only preamendments HSV serological assays which FDA was aware of were type 1 and type 2 and, therefore, the classification of HSV assays other than type 1 and type 2 was incorrect. FDA is correcting the classification of this device to eliminate possible confusion resulting from this error. Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a companion proposed rule under FDA's usual procedure for notice and comment to provide a procedural framework to finalize the rule in the event we receive significant adverse comment and withdraw this direct final rule.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Mental Models Study of Recruitment and Retention of Pregnant Women into an Asthma Pregnancy Registry
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the information collection provisions of the Mental Models Study of Recruitment and Retention of Pregnant Women into an Asthma Pregnancy Registry. Pregnancy registries are a common source of safety information about medications used during pregnancy. Together with other information being collected, FDA will use the results from this study to better understand how pregnant women and their health care providers make decisions about participation in pregnancy exposure registries. FDA will use this new knowledge to develop and recommend effective ways to support the involvement of health care providers and pregnant women in pregnancy registries. Ultimately, greater involvement of health care providers and pregnant women in pregnancy registries will improve the quality of safety information gathered through the registries. Better safety information will support informed treatment decisions by health care providers and women who need prescription medications while pregnant.
