(NHLBI), the National Institutes of

Health (NIH) has submitted to the Office

request to review and approve the

information collection listed below.

This proposed information collection

was previously published in the Federal

Register on August 23, 1996, page 43557

and allowed 60-days for public

comment. No public comments were

received. The purpose of this notice is

Information Collection: This project

involves physical examination and

testing of the surviving members of the

original Framingham Study cohort and

the surviving members of the offspring

cohort. Investigators will contact

doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes to

ascertain participants’ cardiovascular

events occurring outside the study

clinic. Information gathered will be

used to further describe the risk factors,

occurrence rates, and consequences of

cardiovascular disease in middle aged

and older men and women. Frequency

of Response: The cohort participants

respond every two years; the offspring

participants respond every four years.

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; Businesses or other for

profit; Small businesses or

help in the compilation of the number and nature of new fatal and nonfatal events occurring outside the Framingham examining clinic.

The cost to the respondents consists

of their time and travel; time is

estimated using a rate of $10.00 per

hour and travel is estimated using a cost

of $0.35 per mile. The annualized cost

to original and offspring cohort

respondents is estimated at: $56,640.
