skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. 

Vitamin D obtained from sun exposure, 

food, and supplements is biologically 

inert and must undergo two 

hydroxylations in the body for 

activation. The first occurs in the liver 

and converts vitamin D to 25- 

hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], also 

known as calcidiol. The second occurs 

primarily in the kidney and forms the 

physiologically active 1,25- 

dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], also 

known as calcitriol. 

Serum concentration of 25(OH)D is 

the best indicator of exposure to vitamin 

D from all sources. It reflects vitamin D 

produced cutaneously and that obtained 

from food and supplements. There is 

considerable discussion of the serum 

concentrations of 25(OH)D associated 

with deficiency (e.g., rickets), adequacy 

for bone health, and optimal overall 

health. In fact, different assay methods 

are used to assess 25(OH)D. The 

methods themselves vary and there are 

considerable differences among 

laboratory results even when they use 

the same method. 

Given the uncertainties in vitamin D 

measurement, the NIH/ODS will host 

this one-day workshop to evaluate the 

state of analytical methods. The intent 

of the Nutrient Biomarkers Analytical 

Methodology: Vitamin D Workshop is to 

develop strategies for resolving 

inconsistencies between results 

obtained following quantitative 

determination of selected nutrients in 

biological materials such as serum when 

different measurement techniques are 

used. The desired outcomes of this 

meeting are to identify strengths and 

weaknesses of analytical approaches 

available for the quantification of the 

nutritional biomarker of Vitamin D 

status, circulating 25(OH)D in biological 

samples and to discuss analytical 

methods, including criteria for selection 

of method(s); role of reference methods 

and samples; sample preparation and 

interpretation of results. 

The workshop will consist of a series 

of short, focused podium presentations 

interspersed with open discussion 

sessions on the currently available 

analytical methods and interpretation of 

findings. A final session will summarize 

the discussions, identify knowledge 

gaps, and suggest a research agenda for 

future studies. 

The sponsor of this meeting is the 

NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. 

Registration 

Space is limited and will be filled on 

a first-come first-served basis. There is 

no registration fee to attend the 

workshop. To register please forward

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, CBP invites the general public 

and other Federal agencies to comment 

on an information collection 

requirement concerning the Customs 

Declaration. This request for comment is 

being made pursuant to the Paperwork

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CBP 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing information 

collections pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13; 

44 U.S.C. 3505(c)(2)). The comments

In this document CBP is soliciting 

comments concerning the following 

information collection: 

Title: Customs Declaration. 

OMB Number: 1651–0009. 

Form Number: CBP Form 6059B. 

Abstract: The Customs Declaration, 

CBP Form 6059B, requires basic 

information to facilitate the clearance of 

persons and goods arriving in the 

United States and helps CBP officers 

determine if any duties or taxes are due. 

The form is also used for the 

enforcement of CBP and other agencies 

laws and regulations. CBP proposes to 

increase the burden hours for this 

collection as a result of better estimates 

regarding the number of respondents 

filling out the Form 6059B. Specifically, 

CBP is revising the number of 

respondents to this information 

collection from 60,000,000 to 

105,606,000. This increase in the 

number of respondents also results in an 

increase to the burden hours. In 

addition, CBP proposes to make a minor 

change to the estimated time per 

response by decreasing the time from 4 

minutes and 5 seconds to 4 minutes. No 

changes were made to the Form. 

Current Actions: This submission is 

being made to extend the expiration 

date with a change to the burden hours. 

Type of Review: Extension (with 

change).
