Information Collection Request Title: 

Evaluation of Pregnancy Prevention 

Approaches—First Follow-up 

Abstract: The Office of Adolescent 

Health (OAH), U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) is 

requesting an extension without change 

of a currently approved information 

collection request by OMB. The purpose 

of the extension is to complete the 

ongoing follow-up data collection for 

the Evaluation of Adolescent Pregnancy 

Prevention Approaches (PPA), a multisite random assignment evaluation of 

promising approaches to teen pregnancy 

prevention. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: The PPA study is being 

conducted in seven program sites 

around the country. The proposed 

extension is necessary to complete 

ongoing follow-up data collection in 

five of the seven study sites. The 

resulting data will be used in a rigorous 

program impact analysis to assess the 

effectiveness of each program in 

reducing rates of teen pregnancy and 

associated sexual risk behaviors. 

Likely Respondents: The 1484 youth 

participants who agreed to participate in 

the study upon sample enrollment in 5 

impact study sites. 

The total annual burden hours 

estimated for this ICR are summarized 

in the table below.

Office of the Secretary 

Renewal of Charters for Certain 

Federal Advisory Committees 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, 

Department of Health and Human 

Services. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: As stipulated by the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 

U.S.C. App), the U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services is hereby 

announcing that the charters have been 

renewed for the following federal 

advisory committees for which the 

National Institutes of Health provides 

management support: National 

Toxicology Program Board of Scientific 

Counselors (NTPBSC) and National 

Toxicology Program Special Emphasis 

Panel (NTPSEP). Functioning as federal 

advisory committees, these committees 

are governed by the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA). Under FACA, the charter for a 

federal advisory committee must be 

renewed every two years in order for the 

committee to continue to operate.

Institutes of Health, 6701 Democracy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1978 

the Secretary of Health and Human 

Services established the National 

Toxicology Program (NTP) to coordinate 

toxicological testing programs within 

the Department, strengthen the science 

base in toxicology, develop and validate 

improved testing methods, and provide 

information about potentially toxic 

agents to health regulatory and research 

agencies, medical and scientific 

communities, and the public. The NTP 

is an interagency program that provides 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 23 / Wednesday, February 4, 2015 / Notices 6091 

information that improves the nation’s 

ability to evaluate potential human 

health effects from chemical or physical 

exposures. The NTP plays a critical role 

in providing needed scientific data, 

interpretations, and guidance on the 

appropriate uses of data to regulatory 

agencies and other groups involved in 

health-related research and in providing 

information to regulatory agencies about 

alternative methods for toxicity 

screening. 

The results of NTP’s long-term, 

generally two-year, toxicology and 

carcinogenicity studies, are published as 

NTP Technical Reports. The NTP uses 

established criteria to evaluate the 

findings and determine the strength of 

the evidence for conclusions regarding 

the carcinogenic activity of each 

substance evaluated. Panels are 

technical, scientific advisory bodies 

established to provide independent 

scientific peer review of the draft NTP 

Technical Reports. 

Copies of the charters for the 

designated committees can be obtained 

by accessing the FACA data base that is 

maintained by the Committee 

Management Secretariat under the 

General Services Administration.
