The NTP Board of Scientific

Counselors provides scientific oversight,

advising the NTP Director and the NTP

Executive Committee on scientific

content and evaluating the scientific

merit and overall quality of NTP

science. The members (listed in the

1995 Annual Plan) are appointed by the

Secretary, DHHS.

Scientific activities are divided into

several major program areas:

carcinogenesis; genetic toxicology;

mechanism-based toxicology;

alternative methods; and toxicology.

The latter area covers activities in

immunologic, neurobehavioral, and

respiratory toxicologies, as well as

reproductive and developmental

toxicology. There are special projects on

studying toxicities of AIDS therapeutics

and toxicity of Superfund chemicals.

Program and project leaders, along with

addresses and telephone numbers, are

identified in the 1995 Annual Plan.

The chemical nomination and

selection process is integral to the

effective long-term operation of the NTP

with respect to toxicological studies of

chemicals using modern techniques and

to the development and validation of

new assay methods. Thus, the NTP

welcomes nominations of chemicals for

study from everyone. At a minimum,

the nominator should give the name of

the chemical or substance, the rationale

for the nomination, and recommend the

type study(s) to be considered. In

addition, it is desirable, but not

essential, to supplement each

nomination with the following

information, if known:

I. Chemical and physical properties.

II. Production, use, occurrence, and

analysis data.

III. Toxicology information.

IV. Chemical disposition and structureactivity relationships.

V. Planned or ongoing or recently

completed toxicological and environmental

studies.

Fiscal Year 1995, and the FY 1995

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Barbara Hunter, Telephone number

(202) 708–4162 (this is not a toll-free

information collection to OMB for

review, as required by the Paperwork

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

Chapter 35, as amended).

The Notice is soliciting comments

from members of the public and

affecting agencies concerning the

proposed collection of information to:

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information 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

information; (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

through the use of appropriate

automated collection techniques or

other forms of information technology,

information:

Title of Proposal: Revised method for

calculating Section 236 Excess Income.

OMB Control Number: 2502–0086.

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use: The

Department’s Fiscal year 1996 Budget

amended Section 236(g) of the National

Housing Act to require that Excess

Income (rent collected in excess of Basic

Rent) be computed on a unit-by-unit

basis. The Department is implementing

this requirement effective with rent

collections for the month of June, 1996.

The change in the way Excess Income

is computed will result in increased

cash remittances to HUD beginning with

Excess Income that is required to be

remitted by July 10, 1996, for the June

1996 rent collections.

Agency form numbers: HUD 93104.

Members of affected public: All
