2. Report title: Survey of Financial 

Management Behaviors of Military 

Personnel 

Agency form number: FR 1375 

OMB control number: 7100–0307 

Frequency: Semi–annually 

Reporters: Military personnel 

Annual reporting hours: 2,640 hours 

Estimated average hours per response: 

20 minutes 

Number of respondents: 4,000 

General description of report: This 

information collection is voluntary. The 

statutory basis for collecting this 

information is section 2A of the Federal 

Reserve Act [12 U.S.C. § 225a]; the Bank 

Merger Act [12 U.S.C. § 1828(c)]; and 

sections 3 and 4 of the Bank Holding 

Company Act [12 U.S.C. §§ 1842 and 

1843 and 12 U.S.C. §§ 353 and 461]. No 

issue of confidentiality normally arises 

because names and any other 

characteristics that would permit 

personal identification of respondents 

will not be reported to the Board. 

Abstract: This survey gathers data 

from two groups of military personnel: 

(1) those completing a financial 

education course as part of their 

advanced training and (2) those not 

completing a financial education course. 

These two groups are surveyed on their 

financial management behaviors and 

changes in their financial situations 

over time. Data from the survey help to 

determine the effectiveness of financial 

education for young adults in the 

military and the durability of the effects 

as measured by financial status of those 

receiving financial education early in 

their military careers.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

National Toxicology Program (NTP) 

Interagency Center for the Evaluation 

of Alternative Toxicological Methods 

(NICEATM); the Murine Local Lymph 

Node Assay: Request for Comments, 

Nominations of Scientific Experts, and 

Submission of Data 

AGENCY: National Institute of 

Environmental Health Sciences 

(NIEHS), National Institutes of Health 

(NIH). 

ACTION: Request for comments, 

submission of relevant data, and 

nominations of scientific experts. 

SUMMARY: The Interagency Coordinating 

Committee on the Validation of 

Alternative Methods (ICCVAM) received 

a nomination from the U.S. Consumer 

Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to 

evaluate the validation status of: (1) The 

murine local lymph node assay (LLNA) 

as a stand-alone assay for determining 

potency (including severity) for the 

purpose of hazard classification; (2) the 

‘‘cut-down’’ or ‘‘limit dose’’ LLNA 

approach; (3) non-radiolabeled LLNA 

methods; (4) the use of the LLNA for 

testing mixtures, aqueous solutions, and 

metals; and (5) the current applicability 

domain (i.e., the types of chemicals and 

substances for which the LLNA has 

been validated). ICCVAM reviewed the 

nomination, assigned it a high priority, 

and proposed that NICEATM and 

ICCVAM carry out the following 

activities in its evaluation: (1) Initiate a 

review of the current literature and 

available data, including the preparation 

of a comprehensive background review 

document, and (2) convene a peer 

review panel to review the various 

proposed LLNA uses and procedures for 

which sufficient data and information 

are available to adequately assess their 

validation status. ICCVAM also 

recommends development of 

performance standards for the LLNA. At 

this time, NICEATM requests: (1) Public 

comments on the appropriateness and 

relative priority of these activities, (2) 

nominations of expert scientists to 

consider as members of a possible peer 

review panel, and (3) submission of data 

for the LLNA and/or modified versions 

of the LLNA. 

DATES: Submit comments, data, and 

nominations by June 15, 2007. Relevant 

data will also be accepted after this date 

and considered when feasible.
