 Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health
 SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), 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 July 17, 2009, Volume 74, Number 136, pages 34760-34761 and allowed 60 days for public comment. Two public comments were received. One questioned the value of 
                        ( print page 48748)
                        this study and suggested that the study could not possibly be completed within the stated cost estimates. We have always conducted extremely efficient studies within stated cost estimates. The value of this research is demonstrated by the involvement of multiple government agencies. The second e-mail simply expressed interest in more information. 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. *Proposed Collection:* *Title:*
                         NEXT Generation Health Study. *Type of Information Collection Request:*
                         New. *Need and Use of Information Collection:* The goal of this research is to obtain data on adolescent health and health behaviors annually for four years beginning in the 2009-2010 school year from a national probability sample of adolescents. This information will enable the improvement of health services and programs for youth. The study will provide needed information about the health of U.S. adolescents. The study will collect information on adolescent health behaviors and social and environmental contexts for these behaviors annually for four years beginning in the 2009-2010 school year. Self-report of health status, health behaviors, and health attitudes will be collected by in-school and online surveys. Anthropometric data, genetic information, and neighborhood characteristics will be gathered on all participants as well. The study will also incorporate a School Administrator Survey and other data files to obtain related information on school-level health programs and community-level contextual data. A representative subsample of overweight and normal weight adolescents will be identified and additional data on behavioral risk factors and biological markers and risk factors will be gathered on these adolescents.

 The estimated annualized cost to respondents is $8,199 (Table 2). These costs were estimated for the 2009/2010 survey year only, not the entire duration of the project; annualized over the entire duration of the project, these costs would be reduced to $3,261. These estimates were calculated using 2008 Department of Labor figures for wages of principals in high schools (grades 9 and 10) and of average wage and salaried employees, and assuming an annual increase of 3.75%, 50-week contract, and 40-hour week.
