 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 Child Health and 
                        ( print page 10759)
                        Human Development (NICHD), 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:*
                         NEXT Generation Health Study. *Type of Information Collection Request:*
                         Reinstatement. *Need and Use of Information Collection:* The goal of this research is to continue to obtain data on adolescent health and health behaviors annually for seven years beginning in the 2009-2010 school year from a national probability sample of adolescents. The transition from high school to post high school years is a critical period for changes in adolescent health risk behaviors. 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 and influences on their health. The study has collected information on adolescent health behaviors and social and environmental contexts for these behaviors annually for three years beginning in the 2009-2010 school year. This study will continue to collect this information for an additional four years beginning in 2013. Self-report of health status, health behaviors, and health attitudes will be collected by online surveys.

 The estimated annualized cost to respondents is $22,807 (Table 2). These costs were estimated for the 2013 survey year only, not the entire duration of the project. These estimates were calculated using 2008 Department of Labor figures for wages of average wage and salaried employees and assuming an annual increase of 1.25%, 50-week contract, and 40-hour week and that 60% of the cohort will be attending school or unemployed during the first year after high school, thereby reducing the average hourly earnings from $21.93 to $8.77.
