The Commission revised this collection by eliminating FCC Forms 415/415T. Those reporting requirements have been incorporated into FCC Form 601 under OMB Control Number 3060-0798. The Commission also removed Section 101.103 because it is approved under a separate OMB Control Number 3060-1023. The only remaining rule section in this information collection is Section 101.17. Section 101.17 requires all 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensees must demonstrate substantial service at the time of license renewal. A licensee's substantial service showing should include, but not be limited to, the following information for each channel for which they hold a license, in each EA or portion of EA covered by their license, in order to qualify for renewal of that license. The information provided will be judged by the Commission to determine whether the licensee is providing service which rises to the level of “substantial”.

(1)A description of the 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensee's current service in terms of geographic coverage;

(2)a description of the 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensee's current service in terms of population served, as well as any additional service provided during the license term; and

(3)a description of the 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensee's investments in its system(s) (type of facilities constructed and their operational status is required). Any 38.6-40.0 GHz band licensees adjudged not to be providing substantial service will not have their licenses renewed. Federal Communications Commission. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary. [FR Doc.

All comments should be filed as prescribed in the ADDRESSES section above, and must be received on or before the date specified in the DATES section. Analysis of Agreement Containing Consent Order To Aid Public Comment The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission “) has accepted an agreement containing a consent order, subject to final approval, with Basic Research L.L.C. (“Basic Research”) and five other limited liability companies (“Corporate Respondents”), as well as with Dennis Gay, Daniel Mowrey, and Mitchell Friedlander (“Individual Respondents”), all of whom were named as Respondents in the Complaint issued by the Commission on June 15, 2004. The agreement and consent order settle charges that the Corporate Respondents and the Individual Respondents (together “Respondents”) violated sections 5 and 12 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. 45 and 52, by advertising and selling dietary supplements and drugs with unsubstantiated claims for fat loss and/or weight loss, falsely representing that some of these products were clinically proven to be effective, and falsely representing that Respondent Mowrey was a medical doctor. On February 27, 2006, the case was withdrawn from adjudication, so that the Commission could consider the proposed consent order. The proposed consent order has been placed on the public record for thirty

(30)days to receive comments from interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty

(30)days, the Commission will review the agreement and any comments received, and decide whether to withdraw from the agreement or to make final the proposed order. The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate comment on the proposed consent order. This analysis does not constitute an official interpretation of the agreement and proposed order and does not modify their terms in any way. The Complaint Allegations According to the Commission's Complaint, Individual Respondents Dennis Gay, Daniel Mowrey (also doing business as American Phytotheraphy Research Laboratory), and Mitchell K. Friedlander all worked from the same Salt Lake City, Utah facility as Corporate Respondents Basic Research, L.L.C., A.G. Waterhouse, L.L.C., Klein-Becker usa, L.L.C., Nutrasport, L.L.C., Sovage Dermalogic Laboratories, L.L.C., and BAN, L.L.C., who have operated as a common enterprise to advertise and sell a broad line of topical gels and dietary supplements. The Commission's Complaint alleges that these Respondents engaged in deceptive practices in advertising and selling topical fat-loss gels (Dermalin-APg, Cutting Gel, and Tummy Flattening Gel), weight-loss and fat-loss dietary supplements for “significantly overweight” adults containing ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin (Anorex and Leptoprin), and a weight-loss dietary supplement for children containing glucomannan (PediaLean). Specifically, the Commission's Complaint challenges the following claims as unsubstantiated: • That Dermalin-APg, Cutting Gel, and Tummy Flattening Gel cause rapid and visibly obvious fat loss in areas of the body to which they are applied; • That Leptoprin and Anorex cause weight loss of more than 20 pounds in significantly overweight users and that those products cause loss of substantial, excess fat in significantly overweight users; and • That PediaLean causes substantial weight loss in overweight or obese children. Additionally, the Complaint challenges the following claims as false: • That published, clinical testing proves that Cutting Gel and Tummy Flattening Gel cause rapid and visibly obvious fat loss in areas of the body to which they are applied; • That clinical testing proves that Leptoprin causes weight loss of more than 20 pounds, including as much as 50, 60, or 147 pounds, in significantly overweight users; and that clinical testing proves that Leptoprin causes loss of substantial, excess fat in significantly overweight users; • That clinical testing proves that PediaLean causes substantial weight loss in overweight or obese children; and • That Respondent Mowrey is a medical doctor. The Proposed Consent Order The proposed consent order contains provisions designed to prevent Respondents from continuing the illegal conduct alleged in the Complaint, and from engaging in future practices similar to those previously alleged. The proposed order's specific provisions are as follows: The core prohibitions appear in Paragraphs I through IV. Paragraph I prohibits Respondents from making any unsubstantiated representations that Dermalin-APg, Cutting Gel, Tummy Flattening Gel, Anorex, Leptoprin, PediaLean, or any substantially similar product, cause weight loss or fat loss. At the time that any Respondents make weight loss or fat loss claims for any of those products, Respondents must possess and rely upon a reasonable basis for such claims, which shall consist of competent and reliable scientific evidence. Paragraph II of the proposed order prohibits Respondents from making any unsubstantiated representations that any food, drug, or dietary supplement has an effect on any disease, on the structure or function of the human body, or other health benefits or weight loss benefits. At the time that any Respondents make any such claims, Respondents must possess and rely upon a reasonable basis for those claims, which shall consist of competent and reliable scientific evidence. The proposed consent order also prohibits the Respondents from making misrepresentations concerning any test, study, or research (Paragraph III of the proposed order), or concerning the profession, expertise, training, education, experience or qualifications of Respondent Mowrey or any other endorser (Paragraph IV of the proposed order). As defined in the proposed order, “competent and reliable scientific evidence” means tests, analyses, research, studies, or other evidence, based on the expertise of professionals in the relevant area, that has been conducted and evaluated in an objective manner by persons qualified to do so, using procedures generally accepted in the profession to yield accurate and reliable results. A “substantially similar product” means any product that is substantially similar in ingredients, composition, and properties to any of the six products challenged in the Complaint. Paragraph V provides that Basic Research will pay the sum of three million dollars ($3,000,000), on behalf of all Respondents, to the Commission. In the discretion of the Commission, these funds may be used to provide redress to purchasers of any of the products challenged in the Complaint and to pay the attendant administrative costs. If the Commission determines, in its sole discretion, that redress to product purchasers is wholly or partially impracticable or is otherwise unwarranted, any funds not used will be paid to the U.S. Treasury. The proposed order allows Respondents to engage in various forms of legitimate conduct. The order does not prohibit Respondents from making any claim for any drug that is permitted in labeling for that drug under any tentative final or final standard established by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), or under any new drug application approved by the FDA (Paragraph VI of the proposed order). The order also does not prohibit Respondents from making any claim for any product that is specifically permitted in labeling for that product under FDA regulations made under the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (Paragraph VII of the proposed order). Additionally, Paragraphs VIII, IX, X, and XI provide for various compliance reports and notifications by the Respondents. Paragraph XII obligates the Respondents to cooperate in certain ways with any Commission inquiry into their compliance with the order. The proposed order will expire in 20 years. By direction of the Commission. Donald S. Clark, Secretary. [FR Doc.

(ADHD)Identified in Community Settings: Examining Health Status, Correlates, and Effects Associated with Treatment for ADHD—New—National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description This project will collect data from proxy respondents and youths with and without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This program addresses the Healthy People 2010 focus area of Mental Health and Mental Disorders, and describes the prevalence, incidence, long-term outcomes, treatment(s), select co-morbid conditions, secondary conditions, and health risk behavior of youth with ADHD relative to youth without ADHD. In FY 2002-FY 2005 two cooperative agreements (transitioned to extramural research) were awarded to conduct community-based epidemiological research on ADHD among elementary-aged youth, known as the Project to Learn about ADHD in Youth (PLAY Study Collaborative, OMB# 0920-0584, expired on March 31, 2006). These studies provided community-based prevalence, rates of co-morbidity, and rates of health risk behaviors among elementary-age youth with and without ADHD as determined by a rigorous case definition developed by the principal investigators in collaboration with CDC scientists. The purpose of this program is to study the long-term outcomes and health status for children with ADHD identified and treated in community settings through a systematic follow-up of the subjects who participated in the PLAY Study Collaborative. There is considerable interest in the long-term outcomes of youth with ADHD as well as the effects of treatment, lack of treatment, and quality of care in average U.S. communities, emphasizing the public health importance of longitudinal research in this area. There are no costs to the respondents other than their time. *Estimated Annualized Burden Hours* Respondents No. of respondents No. of responses per respondent Average burden per response (in hrs.)

Proposed Project Importation of Etiologic Agents, Hosts, and Vectors of Human Disease (42 CFR 71.54)—(OMB Control No. 0920-0199)—Revision—Office of the Director (OD), Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Background and Brief Description The Foreign Quarantine Regulations (42 CFR part 71) set forth provisions to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable disease from foreign countries into the United States. Subpart F—Importations—contains provisions for importation of etiologic agents, hosts, and vectors (42 CFR 71.54), requiring persons that import or distribute after importing these materials to obtain a permit issued by the CDC. This request is for the information collection requirements contained in 42 CFR 71.54 for issuance of permits by CDC to importers or distributors after importation of etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors of human disease. CDC is requesting continued OMB approval to collect this information through the use of two separate forms. These forms are:

(1)Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or Vectors of Human Disease and

(2)Application for Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats. The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or Vectors of Human Disease will be used by laboratory facilities, such as those operated by government agencies, universities, research institutions, and zoologic exhibitions, and also by importers of nonhuman primate trophy materials, such as hunters or taxidermists, to request permits for the importation and subsequent distribution after importation of etiologic agents, hosts, or vectors of human disease. The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Etiologic Agents, Hosts, or Vectors of Human Disease requests applicant and sender contact information; description of material for importation; facility isolation and containment information; and personnel qualifications. The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats will be used by laboratory facilities such as those operated by government agencies, universities, research institutions, and zoologic exhibitions entities to request importation and subsequent distribution after importation of live bats. The Application for Permit to Import or Transport Live Bats requests applicant and sender contact information; a description and intended use of bats to be imported; facility isolation and containment information; and personnel qualifications. Estimated average time to complete this form is 20 minutes.

(OCS)Evaluation Initiative. *OMB No.:* New Collection. *Description:* This questionnaire is part of a contract that addresses evaluation strategies for three programs administered by OCS: Community Economic Development (CED), Rural Community Facilities (RF), and Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals (JOLI). The legislative requirement for two of these programs, *i.e.,* the RF and CED programs, is in Title IV of the Community Opportunities, Accountability, and Training and Educational Services Act (COATS Human Services Reauthorization Act) of Oct. 27, 1998, Public Law 105-285, sec. 680(b) as amended. This legislative directive states that “The Secretary shall require all activities receiving assistance under this section to be evaluated for their effectiveness. Funding for such evaluations shall be provided as a stated percentage of the assistance or through a separate grant awarded by the Secretary specifically for the purpose of evaluation of a particular activity or group of activities.” Under Title V, section 505, of the Family Support Act of 1988, Public Law 100-485, sec. 505(f), JOLI was initially a demonstration program that required local evaluations of each project. When JOLI was reauthorized in 1996 (Public Law 104-193—August 22, 1996), it no longer had demonstration status and evaluation requirements. As a result, a formal evaluation for the JOLI program has not been conducted since the 1996 Public Law reauthorization. At this time, OCS is interested in a formal evaluation to assess the JOLI program. OCS has chosen to evaluate all three of these programs through a separate contract awarded by the Secretary using the Office of Management and Budget's

(OMB)Performance Assessment Rating Tool

(PART)in order to critically review the overall design and effectiveness of each program in its totality. The evaluation initiative contract provides the central office with the mechanism to ensure that all programs evaluated will have consistent data that is in agreement with the direction of OMB and provides the Secretary with information on program efficiency and effectiveness. The evaluation survey's primary purpose is to document and systematically evaluate the program performance of three OCS discretionary grant programs in qualitative and quantitative terms. Thus it will assess each of the three OCS discretionary grant programs—CED, RF, and JOLI—using qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods that capture key information about program and grantee-level performance in four general areas:

(1)Program purpose and design;

(2)strategic planning;

(3)program management; and

(4)program results. The evaluation activities will build on the initial year's findings and methods, with the goal of expanding data collection and analysis to improve the validity and generalizability of findings. The questionnaire will be administered online. *Respondents:* Active CED and JOLI grantees with grants awarded from 2001 through 2004.
