pharmacokinetic imaging in a noninvasive manner after non-toxic

infusion of the spin probe.

However, the disadvantage of EPRI is

the lack of proper orientation of the

physiological image with respect to

anatomy. On the contrary, Magnetic

Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods are

excellent for providing images with fine

anatomical detail, but are often not

possible methods that provide

physiological information co-registered

with anatomy with clinically relevant

resolution.

The current invention complements a

MRI with EPRI methods to solve each

method’s problem described above. A

low-field MRI(5–30 mT) module is

integrated into an EPRI(5—20 mT)

system to provide an MRI scout image

to properly orient the EPRI

physiological information with respect

to anatomy (A common magnet/gradient

coil assembly is used for both MRI and

EPRI scans).

Therefore, the EPR images contain

spectral information regarding the local

physiological conditions such as oxygen

status. This data, when overlaid with

anatomical images of MRI (Magnetic

Resonance Imaging), co-register

anatomical MR images and EPR

physiological images.

Corrections

1. In Section II.A.2.d of the Guidelines

(65 FR 51980, first column), change

‘‘human pluripotent stem cells,’’ at the

end of the section, to ‘‘embryo.’’

2. In Section II.B.1.a. of the

Guidelines (65 FR 51980, second

column), change ‘‘Section II.A.2’’ to

‘‘Section II.B.2.’’

3. In Section II.B.2.a. of the

[Docket No. FR–4565–N–31]

Notice of Proposed Information

Collection: Comment Request; Section

203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage

Insurance Program

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant

Secretary for Housing, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The proposed information

collection requirement described below

will be submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review, as required by the Paperwork

Reduction Act. The Department is

soliciting public comments on the

subject proposal.

DATES: Comments Due Date: January 22,

2000.

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

invited to submit comments regarding

this proposal. Comments should refer to

the proposal by name and/or OMB

Control Number and should be sent to:

Wayne Eddins, Reports Management

Officer, Department of Housing and

Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW,

L’Enfant Plaza Building, Room 8001,

Washington, DC 20410.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Vance T. Morris, Director, Office of

Single Family Program Development,

Department of Housing and Urban

Development, 451 7th Street SW,

Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202)

708–2121 (this is not a toll free number)

for copies of the proposed forms and

other available information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Department is submitting the proposed

information collection to OMB for

review, as required by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35, as amended).

This notice is soliciting comments

from members of the public and affected

agencies concerning the proposed

collection of information to: (1) Evaluate

whether the proposed collection is

necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility; (2) Evaluate the

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the

burden of the proposed collection of

the use of appropriate automated

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology, e.g., permitting

electronic submission of responses.

This Notice also lists the following

information:

Title of Proposal: 203(k)

Rehabilitation Mortgage Insurance.

OMB Control Number, if applicable:

2502–0527.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: This

request for OMB review involves a

reinstatement of a previously approved

information collection for 203(k)

Rehabilitation Mortgage insurance

expired on October 31, 2000. The

information collection implements

recommendations to mitigate program

abuses that were cited in an Audit

Report of HUD’s Office of Inspector

General. The information collection

focuses on the loan origination process
