Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2011 / Notices 9785 

A second project, also funded by 

CDC’s DRH, will link the birth 

certificates of the children sampled in 

NHANES who were 5–10 years old 

during the 2005–2010 NHANES. No recontact of the parents is necessary 

because informed consent to link to 

vital records was obtained as part of the 

NHANES consent process. A two year 

clearance is sought for these projects. 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on the extent and nature of 

illness and disability; environmental, 

social and other health hazards; and 

determinants of health of the population 

of the United States. 

NHANES was conducted periodically 

between 1970 and 1994, and 

continuously since 1999 by the NCHS. 

A supplemental sample of pregnant 

women was selected in NHANES from 

1999–2006. This resulted in a total of 

1,350 pregnant women, from 31 states, 

in the NHANES. Although this 

supplemental sample was discontinued 

after 2006, there are an estimated 150 

pregnant women in the NHANES 

sample for the years 2007–10. This 

results in a total estimate of 1,500 

women for this project. 

The NHANES only collected 

information about the pregnant women 

at the time of interview. Having 

information on their children’s birth 

certificates and birth outcomes could 

provide insight for policy decisions 

related to maternal and child health. No 

other survey has the physical 

examination and nutritional data that 

NHANES collects on pregnant women. 

The second project involves children. 

From 2005–2010 there were 

approximately 3,800 children, aged 

5–10 years, in the NHANES. Permission 

to link these children’s NHANES 

records to other administrative records 

was obtained during the original 

NHANES consent process. 

A similar linkage study was 

conducted in the past when 8,836 

children 2 months through 6 years of 

age from the Third NHANES (1988–94) 

had their NHANES data linked to their 

birth certificate data. These data have 

been used extensively to examine 

associations between birth data and 

health and nutritional status at the time 

of participation in the NHANES III. The 

new linkage project data on older 

children will be similarly valuable. 

Consents for these projects will be 

sent to the appropriate U.S. states, local 

areas, or territories, where the birth 

certificate retrievals will then be 

conducted. Electronic retrieval per 

records is estimated at two minutes. 

NHANES data users include the U.S. 

Congress; the World Health 

Organization; numerous Federal 

agencies such as the National Institutes 

of Health, the Environmental Protection 

Agency, and the United States 

Department of Agriculture; private 

groups such as the American Heart 

Association; schools of public health; 

private businesses; individual 

practitioners; and administrators. This 

submission requests approval for two 

years. There is no cost to respondents 

other than their time.

(Pub. L. 92–463), the Centers for Disease

announces the following meeting for the 

aforementioned subcommittee:

Place: Cincinnati Airport Marriott, 2395

public comment period. To access by

information 1(866) 659–0537, Participant 

Pass Code 9933701. 

Background: The Advisory Board was 

established under the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation Program 

Act of 2000 to advise the President on a 

variety of policy and technical functions 

required to implement and effectively 

manage the new compensation program. Key 

functions of the Advisory Board include 

providing advice on the development of 

probability of causation guidelines that have 

been promulgated by the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final 

rule; advice on methods of dose 

reconstruction which have also been 

promulgated by HHS as a final rule; advice 

on the scientific validity and quality of dose 

estimation and reconstruction efforts being 

performed for purposes of the compensation 

program; and advice on petitions to add 

classes of workers to the Special Exposure 

Cohort (SEC). 

In December 2000, the President delegated 

responsibility for funding, staffing, and 

operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which 

subsequently delegated this authority to CDC. 

NIOSH implements this responsibility for 

CDC. The charter was issued on August 3, 

2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and 

will expire on August 3, 2011. 

Purpose: The Advisory Board is charged 

with (a) providing advice to the Secretary, 

HHS, on the development of guidelines 

under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing 

advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the 

scientific validity and quality of dose 

reconstruction efforts performed for this 

program; and (c) upon request by the 

Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on 

whether there is a class of employees at any 

Department of Energy facility who were 

exposed to radiation but for whom it is not 

feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and 

on whether there is reasonable likelihood 

that such radiation doses may have 

endangered the health of members of this 

class. The Subcommittee for Dose 

Reconstruction Reviews was established to 

aid the Advisory Board in carrying out its 

duty to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose 

reconstruction. 

Matters To Be Discussed: The agenda for 

the Subcommittee meeting includes: 

selection of individual radiation dose 

reconstruction cases to be considered for 

review by the Procedures Subcommittee to 

evaluate the implementation of the Program 

Evaluation Report: OCAS–PER–012— 

Evaluation of Highly Insoluble Plutonium 

Compounds; discussion of dose 

reconstruction cases under review (sets 7— 

9); OCAS dose reconstruction quality 

management and assurance activities. The 

agenda is subject to change as priorities 

dictate. 

In the event an individual cannot attend, 

written comments may be submitted. Any 

written comments received will be provided 

at the meeting and should be submitted to 

the contact person below well in advance of 

the meeting.
