Proposed Project: Uncompensated 

Services Assurance Report (OMB No. 

0915–0077)—Extension 

Under the Hill-Burton Act, the 

Government provides grants and loans 

for construction or renovation of health 

care facilities. As a condition of 

receiving this construction assistance, 

facilities are required to provide 

services to persons unable to pay. A 

condition of receiving this assistance 

requires facilities to provide assurances 

periodically that the required level of 

uncompensated care is being provided, 

and that certain notification and record 

keeping procedures are being followed. 

These requirements are referred to as 

the uncompensated services assurance.

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Tobacco Use Supplement to 

the Current Population Survey Series: 

2006–2007 Tobacco Use Supplement 

to the Current Population Survey 

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 Cancer Institute (NCI), 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: Tobacco Use Supplement to the 

Current Population Survey Series: 

2006–2007 Tobacco Use Supplement to 

the Current Population Survey. 

Type of information request: 

Reinstatement with Change of OMB 

#0925–0368, Expiration 01/31/2004. 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The 2006–2007 Tobacco Use 

Supplement to the Current Population 

Survey conducted by the Census Bureau 

will collect data from the civilian noninstitutionalized population on tobacco 

use, smoking prevalence and attempts at 

cessation; workplace smoking policies; 

health professional advice to stop 

smoking; and changes in smoking norms 

and attitudes. This survey will provide 

invaluable information to government 

agencies and departments, other 

scientists and the general public 

necessary for tobacco control research, 

as well as measure progress toward 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 210 / Tuesday, November 1, 2005 / Notices 65907 

tobacco control as part of the National 

Cancer Institute’s (NCI’s) Cancer 

Progress Report, and the Department of 

Health and Human Services’ Healthy 

People 2010 Goals. It is also relevant to 

past reports of NCI plans for the 

National Investment in Cancer Research 

and NCI’s long-term strategic plan for 

eliminating the suffering and death due 

to cancer. This survey is part of a 

continuing series of surveys that were 

sponsored by NCI and fielded 

periodically over the 1990’s by the 

Census Bureau as part of the American 

Stop Smoking Intervention Study for 

Cancer Prevention (ASSIST) project and 

made available for general public use. 

The Tobacco Use Supplements since 

2001–02 have been fielded and will be 

continuing over the next decade 

alternating between a standard or core 

tobacco use survey (such as this 2006–

2007 survey) and a special topic survey 

focusing on emerging adult tobacco 

control issues (such as the 2003 Tobacco 

Use Special Cessation Supplement). The 

survey will allow state specific 

estimates to be made. Data will be 

collected in May 2006, August 2006 and 

January 2007 from approximately 

285,000 respondents. The National 

Cancer Institute is co-sponsoring this 

survey with the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention. 

Frequency of Response: One-time 

study. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Type of Respondents: Persons 15 

years of age or older. The annual 

reporting burden is presented in exhibit

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies should 

address one or more of the following 

points: (1) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the function 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 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request; Assessment of the 

Use of Special Funding for Research 

on Type 1 Diabetes Provided by the 

Balanced Budget Act of 1997, the FY 

2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

and the Public Health Service Act 

Amendment for Diabetes 

Summary: Under the provisions of 

section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and 

Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. This proposed information 

collection was previously published in 

the Federal Register on March 10, 2005, 

page 11994 and allowed 60 days for 

public comment. No public comments 

were received. The purpose of this 

notice is to allow an additional 30 days 

for public comment. The National 

Institutes of Health may not conduct or 

sponsor, the respondent is not required 

to respond to, an information collection 

that has been extended, revised, or 

implemented on or after October 1, 

1995, unless it displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. 

Proposed Collection 

Title: Assessment of the Use of 

Special Funding for Research on Type 1 

Diabetes Provided by the Balanced 

Budget Act of 1997, and the FY 2001 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, and 

the Public Health Service Act 

Amendment for Diabetes. Type of 

Information Collection Requested: 

Revision, OMB control number: 0925–

0503; expiration date: 06/30/2005. Need 

and Use of Information Collection: This 

survey will be one source of input into 

a statutorily mandated assessment and 

report to the Congress on special 

funding for research on type 1 diabetes 

provided by the Balanced Budget Act of 

1997, (Pub. L. 105–33), the FY 2001 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, (Pub. 

L. 106–554), and the Public Health 

Service Act Amendment for Diabetes, 

(Pub. L. 107–360). Collectively, these 

Acts provided $1.14 billion in special 

funds to the Department of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) for research 

aimed at understanding, treating, and 

preventing type 1 diabetes and its 

complications. The Secretary of HHS 

subsequently designated to the NIDDK 

the lead responsibility in the 

Department for developing a process for 

allocation of these funds. The primary 

objective of this study is to gain 

information, via a brief questionnaire, 

from NIH research grantees who were 

the primary recipients of these special 

funds, concerning their views on the 

impact of the type 1 diabetes research
