SARS MPEP will be required to submit 

results twice a year after testing mailed 

performance evaluation samples. Since 

SARS testing methods may change due 

to research and development conducted 

by CDC and potentially (in the future) 

by commercial kit manufacturers, CDC 

will collect the SARS Sample Result 

Surveys (SRS) information biannually. 

Further, since laboratories are not 

continuously testing for SARS, it is 

necessary to offer a performance 

evaluation challenge at least biannually 

so that the labs maintain sufficient 

proficiency to allow quick response to 

an outbreak. 

CDC is requesting emergency 

approval to conduct the samples survey 

for six months while the complete 

information collection is being 

processed for clearance and approval. 

During this six-month period, 

approximately 54 states will be asked to 

participate on a one-time basis. There 

are no costs to respondents other than 

their time in processing the samples.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; BrainTrain4Kids: New 

Delivery of the Brain Power Program

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Institute on Drug Abuse 

(NIDA), the National Institutes of Health 

(NIH) will public periodic summaries of 

proposed projects to be submitted to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval.

PROPOSED COLLECTION: Title:

BrainTrain4Kids: New Delivery of the 

Brain Power Program. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: NEW. 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: This research will evaluate 

the effects of BrainTrain4Kids.com, an 

online program for students (Grades 2 

and 3), on: (1) Students’ knowledge of 

scientific inquiry, the human nervous 

system, the effects of alcohol and 

tobacco on the brain, and the differences 

between helpful and harmful drugs; (2) 

students’ attitudes toward science in 

general; and (3) students’ attitudes 

toward substance abuse. The secondary 

goals of the summative evaluation are to 

determine if changes in knowledge and 

attitudes are retained over a follow-up 

period as well as to determine if parents 

and second- and third-grade students 

will report a high degree of satisfaction 

with the online program. The online 

program is a new delivery of a National 

Institute on Drug Abuse science 

education curriculum for second- and 

third-grade teachers (Brain Power! The 

NIDA Junior Scientist Club) adapted for 

the Internet and for use by students at 

home under the guidance of their 

parents. if the new program is 

successful, the public will access to an 

evidence-based program via the Internet 

that contributes to scientific literacy and 

provides a basis of knowledge upon 

which to build future substance abuse 

prevention. In order to evaluate the 

effectiveness of the program, 

information will be collected from 

students before (pretest) and after (posttest) exposure to the website and again 

3 to 6 weeks after the program has been 

completed (follow-up). Parents will be 

asked to complete usage logs at three 

points during their use of the 

BrainTrain4Kids website with their 

children. Prior to the evaluation study, 

the knowledge and attitude assessment 

instruments will be pilot-tested with a 

sample of students to determine validity 

and reliability. Additionally, during the 

development phase of the project, 

satisfaction surveys will be 

administered to students, parents, and 

teachers at two points during the 

development of the website to collect 

preference data and assess the level of 

satisfaction with the website. This is 

necessary to ensure target audience 

satisfaction with the final program. All 

data collection will occur online. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Affected Public: Second- and thirdgrade students, their parents, and their 

teachers. 

Type of Respondents: Second- and 

third-grade students, their parents, and 

their teachers. The reporting burden is 

as follows:

410. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: one for seven key cohorts, 

three for one key cohort and six for one 

key cohort.

0.574. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours Requested: 637.5. 

There are no Capital Costs to report. 

There are no Operating or Maintenance 

Costs to report. The estimated

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Hazardous Waste Worker 

Training

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects, the 

National Institute of Environmental 

Health Sciences (NIEHS), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish 

periodic summaries of proposed 

projects to be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

Proposed Collection 

Title: Hazardous Waste Worker 

Training—42 CFR part 65. 

Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of OMB No. 0925–

0348 and expiration date February 28, 

2005. 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: This request for OMB review 

and approval of the information 

collection is required by regulation 42 

CFR 65(a)(6). 

The National Institute of 

Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) 

was given major responsibility for 

initiating a worker safety and health 

training program under section 126 of 

the Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) for 

hazardous waste workers and 

emergency responders. A network of 

non-profit organizations that are 

committed to protecting workers and 

their communities by delivering highquality, peer-reviewed safety and health 

curricula to target populations of 

hazardous waste workers and 

emergency responders has been 

developed. In seventeen years (FY 

1987–2004), the NIEHS Worker Training 

program has successfully supported 20 

primary grantees that have trained more 

than 1.2 million workers across the 

country and presented over 68,000 

classroom and hands-on training 

courses, which have accounted for 

nearly 18 million contact hours of actual 

training. Generally, the grant will 

initially be for one year, and subsequent 

continuation awards are also for one 

year at a time. Grantees must submit a 

separate application to have the support 

continued for each subsequent year. 

Grantees are to provide information in 

accordance with S65.4 (a), (b), (c) and 

65.6(a) on the nature, duration, and 

purpose of the training, selection 

criteria for trainees’ qualifications and 

competency of the project director and 

staff, cooperative agreements in the case 

of joint applications, the adequacy of 

training plans and resources, including 

budget and curriculum, and response to 

meeting training criteria in OHSA’s 

Hazardous Waste Operations and 

Emergency Response Regulations (29 

CFR 1910.120). As a cooperative 

agreement, there are additional 

requirements for the progress report 

section of the application. Grantees are 

to provide their information in hard 

copy as well as enter information into 

the WETP Grantee Data Management 

System. The information collected is 

used by the Director through officers, 

employees, experts, and consultants to 

evaluate applications based on technical 

merit to determine whether to make 

awards. 

Frequency of Response: Biannual. 

Affected Public: Non-profit 

organizations. 

Type of Respondents: Grantees. 

The annual reporting burden is as 

follows: 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

18. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 2. 

Average Burden Hours Per Response:

10. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours Requested: 360. 

The annualized cost to respondents is 

estimated at: $10,764. There are no 

Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or 

Maintenance Costs to report. 

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies should 

address one or more of the following 

points: (1) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of
