acre of land along the eastern boundary 

of the LPOE, and approximately one 

acre along the western boundary of the 

LPOE. This expansion will mitigate 

traffic congestion in the port and allow 

an increase of the number of inspection 

lanes and employee parking. The 

expansion and reconfiguration of the 

LPOE will accommodate 11 primary 

booths for northbound inspection and 

allow for the future accommodation of 

four additional booths, including one 

booth for U.S./Mexico Emergency 

Vehicle pathway. The current six 

primary northbound U.S. entry lanes 

will be converted into three primary 

booths for U.S. entry for bus/high 

occupancy vehicles/recreational 

vehicles (HOV/RV) and bicycles. 

Southbound vehicle inspection lanes 

will be expanded from two to three 

lanes and four adjacent secondary 

inspection stalls will be constructed. 

Under the proposed action, a new 

headhouse facility will be constructed, 

administrative offices will be renovated, 

and pedestrian processing facilities 

would be expanded. Roadway 

modifications within the port will be 

conducted to improve traffic movement 

through the port and to enhance 

pedestrian safety. These modifications 

will also allow for establishment of an 

emergency route through the port. 

The EIS will evaluate the potential 

environmental impacts associated with 

alternatives to implement the proposed 

action, including the No Action 

Alternative: 

Alternative 1: Reconfigure the existing 

San Luis I LPOE and expand facilities 

through acquisition of approximately 

one acre of adjacent land to the west 

and approximately one acre of adjacent 

land to the east. 

No Action Alternative: Continue 

operations in the existing LPOE 

facilities as they are currently 

configured. This alternative is included 

to provide a basis of comparison to the 

action alternative as required by NEPA 

regulations (40 CFR 1002.14[d]). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

public scoping period starts with 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register and will continue for 45 days 

from the date of the notice. GSA will 

consider all comments received or postmarked by that date in defining the 

scope of the EIS.

Proposed Project: Public Health 

Service Polices on Research Misconduct 

(42 CFR Part 93)–OMB No 0937–0198- 

Extension-Office of Resource Integrity. 

Abstract: This is a request to extend 

the currently approved collection. The 

purpose of the Annual Report on 

Possible Research Misconduct (Annual 

Report) form is to provide data on the 

amount of research misconduct activity 

occurring in institutions conducting 

PHS supported research. In addition 

this provides an annual assurance that 

the institution has established and will 

follow administrative policies and 

procedures for responding to allegations 

of research misconduct that comply 

with the Public Health Service (PHS) 

Policies on Research Misconduct (42 

CFR Part 93). Research misconduct is 

defined as receipt of an allegation of 

research misconduct and/or the conduct 

of an inquiry and/or investigation into 

such allegations. These data enable the 

ORI to monitor institutional compliance 

with the PHS regulation. Lastly, the 

form will be used to respond to 

congressional requests for information 

to prevent misuse of Federal funds and 

to protect the public interest.

Proposed Project 

Field Test of Communication and 

Marketing Variables for Health 

Protection—New—National Center for 

Health Marketing/Coordinating Center 

for Health Information Service (NCHM/ 

CCHIS), Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC does not have a mechanism to 

assess and monitor the health 

communication and marketing 

components of health protection. While 

CDC does evaluate specific health 

communication and marketing programs 

and projects, the common elements 

rooted in communication and marketing 

theories and constructs are not 

identified across programs and projects, 

nor frequently compared after the fact to 

ascertain the underlying factors and 

dynamics that inform and shape 

individual and group behaviors and 

actions. The purpose of this project is to 

develop a core set of communication 

and marketing constructs to inform CDC 

health protection programs and projects 

as well as track population-level 

changes over time. 

CDC seeks a flexible platform that can 

be adapted to explore a wide range of 

health protection behaviors and inform 

communication and marketing efforts 

across CDC program areas. The survey 

platform underlying this field test is 

based on the People and Places 

framework (Maibach et al., 2007; 

http://www.biomedcentral.com/ 

1471=2458/7/88), and incorporates key 

constructs from health behavior theories 

and communication models to illustrate 

how personal and environmental factors 

may influence behavior. This platform 

offers the flexibility to develop survey 

items to assess a specific health topic 

(e.g., pan/seasonal flu, natural hazards, 

bioterrorism, etc.) while simultaneously 

relying on a standardized set of core 

underlying social-psychological and 

communication constructs. 

The proposed data collection is to 

conduct a field test of the survey 

instrument focusing on the core 

communication and marketing 

constructs for health protection 

behaviors. The field test survey will be 

administered to a purposive sample of 

1,500 respondents. Two modes of 

administration will be tested, telephone 

(both landline and cell) and selfadministration via the Web. The 

telephone survey will be conducted in 

three metropolitan areas. The Web 

survey will use an on-going national 

consumer panel. 

Rather than representative random 

sampling from the population, the 

sampling is purposive, designed to 

reach subpopulations of those who are 

vulnerable from a health protections 

perspective and those who have low 

health literacy, that is, difficulty 

accessing and/or understanding health 

messages. Therefore, included in the 

target groups are the elderly, who may 

be somewhat isolated and for whom 

health messages may be confusing; 

people of low socioeconomic status, 

whose level of education can be a 

barrier to comprehending and following 

health messages; and persons not fluent 

in English, for whom innovative ways of 

communicating health messages may be 

necessary. For this nonprobability 

sample, telephone respondents will be 

recruited through commercial lists that 

optimize reaching specific 

subpopulations. Members of the general 

population will be surveyed as well in 

order to provide a benchmark for the 

subpopulations of interest. Web 

respondents will be recruited through 

an existing national consumer panel. 

CDC will use the field test data to 

assess continuity of response patterns 

within each of the subgroups and to 

determine differences in administration 

time. In addition to subgroup 

population differences in attitudes, 

beliefs, and health behaviors, CDC will 

use the data to examine item-level mode 

effects, regional differences, and 

administrative/logistical barriers to 

guide the design of core measure 

surveys for other health protection 

behaviors. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to complete the survey.
