E7-5029 Filed 3-19-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4163-70-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health (ABRWH or Advisory Board) In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92-463), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announces the following committee meeting: *Time and Date:* 11 a.m.—5 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving Time, April 5, 2007. *Place:* Audio Conference Call. The USA toll free dial in number is 1-866-643-6504 with a pass code of 9448550. *Status:* Open to the public. *Background:* The Advisory Board was established under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act of 2000 to advise the President on a variety of policy and technical functions required to implement and effectively manage the new compensation program. Key functions of the Advisory Board include providing advice on the development of probability of causation guidelines which have been promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services

(HHS)as a final rule, advice on methods of dose reconstruction which have also been promulgated by HHS as a final rule, advice on the scientific validity and quality of dose estimation and reconstruction efforts being performed for purposes of the compensation program, and advice on petitions to add classes of workers to the Special Exposure Cohort (SEC). In December 2000, the President delegated responsibility for funding, staffing, and operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which subsequently delegated this authority to the CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility for CDC. The charter was issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and will expire on August 3, 2007. *Purpose:* This Advisory Board is charged with

(a)providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the development of guidelines under Executive Order 13179;

(b)providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the scientific validity and quality of dose reconstruction efforts performed for this program; and

(c)upon request by the Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary on whether there is a class of employees at any Department of Energy facility who were exposed to radiation but for whom it is not feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and on whether there is reasonable likelihood that such radiation doses may have endangered the health of members of this class. *Matters to be Discussed:* The agenda for the conference call includes: Revisit Board Policy on Sanford Cohen & Associates (SC&A) Hill Visits; Limiting the Time of Individual Public Comments; Review of the Completeness of the Scope of the Board Reviews; Pantex SEC Issued Raised by Dr. Fuortes; Individual Board Member Assignments for Dose Reconstruction Reviews; Work Group Updates; Discussion of NIOSH Budget Issues; Schedule of Future Board Meetings and Calls; and Board Working Time. The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate. There is no public comment period, however, written comments may be submitted. Any written comments received will be provided at the meeting and should be submitted to the contact person below well in advance of the meeting. *For Further Information Contact:* Dr. Lewis V.

E7-5009 Filed 3-19-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4163-18-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Food and Drug Administration [Docket No. 2006N-0187] Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Comment Request; Survey of Health Care Professionals on the Food Safety and Nutrition Information That They Provide to Pregnant Women AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS. ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration

(FDA)is announcing that a proposed collection of information has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DATES: Fax written comments on the collection of information by April 19, 2007. ADDRESSES: To ensure that comments on the information collection are received, OMB recommends that written comments be faxed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, Attn: FDA Desk Officer, FAX: 202-395-6974. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jonna Capezzuto, Office of the Chief Information Officer (HFA-250), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-827-4659. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. Survey of Health Care Professionals on the Food Safety and Nutrition Information That They Provide to Pregnant Women Under section 903(b)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 393(b)(2)), FDA is authorized to conduct research relating to foods and to conduct educational and public information programs relating to the safety of the nation's food supply. FDA is planning to conduct a survey of health care professionals to determine what information, advice, and recommendations they are offering to pregnant women about the following topics:

(1)Methyl mercury and seafood consumption,

(2)Listeriosis prevention,

(3)weight control and nutrition,

(4)dietary supplement usage,

(5)food allergies,

(6)Toxoplasmosis prevention, and

(7)infant feeding practices. FDA is interested in obtaining this data since FDA has recently issued advice for pregnant women about food safety risks and diet risks such as mercury in seafood, Listeriosis, and Toxoplamosis. (“Food Safety for Moms-to-Be,” 2005 and “What You Need to Know about Mercury in Fish and Shellfish,” 2004). Data from this survey will be used to evaluate whether health care professionals are aware of this advice and if they are educating their patients about information in the FDA advisories. FDA will also use this survey to get a better understanding of what resources health care professionals use to stay abreast of current practices for caring for pregnant women. This will help FDA provide timely recommendations to health care professionals that will reach the largest audience. A sample of 400 obstetrician/gynecologists, 200 nurse practitioners, 200 nurse midwives, 200 physician assistants, and 200 dietitians from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children

(WIC)will be included in this survey. The sample of nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and physician assistants will be drawn from those specializing in obstetrics. The samples will be randomly selected from lists obtained from national associations. The survey will be conducted using a mailed questionnaire. Cognitive interviews and a pretest will be conducted prior to fielding the survey. In the **Federal Register** of June 2, 2006 (71 FR 32095), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. FDA received one comment responsive to the comment request. (Comment) The comment suggests that FDA should expand the respondent universe of the survey to include all categories of health care providers that care for pregnant women. (Response) FDA agrees that the survey universe should include samples drawn from all categories of health care providers that provide care for pregnant women. The current sampling plan calls for samples of 400 obstetrician/gynecologists, 200 nurse practitioners, 200 certified nurse midwives, 200 physician assistants, and 200 WIC nutrition educators. **Table 1.—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden** 1 No. of Respondents Annual Frequency Per Response Total Annual Responses Hours Per Response Total Hours 1,200—Survey 1 1,200 .167 200.4 75—Pretest 1 75 .167 12.5 16—Cognitive Interview 1 16 .75 12 Total 1 1,291 224.9 1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information. The burden estimate is based on FDA's experience with previous surveys. Dated: March 15, 2007. Jeffrey Shuren, Assistant Commissioner for Policy. [FR Doc.
