Proposed Project National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS)—New— National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The purpose of this data collection is to monitor behaviors related to Human Immunodeficiency Virus

(HIV)infection among persons at high risk for infection in the United States. The primary objectives of the system are to obtain data from samples of persons at risk to:

(a)Describe the prevalence and trends in risk behaviors;

(b)describe the prevalence of and trends in HIV testing and HIV infection;

(c)describe the prevalence of and trends in use of HIV prevention services;

(d)identify met and unmet needs for HIV prevention services in order to inform health departments, community based organizations, community planning groups and other stakeholders. This project addresses the goals of CDC's HIV prevention strategic plan, specifically the goal of strengthening the national capacity to monitor the HIV epidemic to better direct and evaluate prevention efforts. Data are collected through in-person interviews conducted with persons systematically selected from 25 Metropolitan Statistical Areas

(MSAs)throughout the United States; these 25 MSAs were chosen based on having high AIDS prevalence. Persons at risk for HIV infection to be interviewed for NHBS include men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU), and heterosexual persons living in census tracts that have high HIV/AIDS prevalence (HET). A brief screening interview will be used to determine eligibility for participation in the full survey. The data from the full survey will provide estimates of behavior related to the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, prior testing for HIV, and use of HIV prevention services. All persons interviewed will also be offered an HIV test. No other federal agency systematically collects this type of information from persons at risk for HIV infection. This data will have substantial impact on prevention program development and monitoring at the local, state, and national levels. CDC estimates that NHBS will involve, per year in each of the 25 MSAs, eligibility screening for 50 to 200 persons and eligibility screening plus the survey with 500 eligible respondents, resulting in a total of 37,500 eligible survey respondents and 7,500 ineligible screened persons during a 3-year period. Data collection will rotate such that interviews will be conducted among one group per year: MSM in year 1, IDU in year 2, and HET in year 3. The type of data collected for each group will vary slightly due to different sampling methods and risk characteristics of the group. Participation of respondents is voluntary and there is no cost to the respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden hours is 9,931.

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 September 14, 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, or e-mailed to baguilar@omb.eop.gov. All comments should be identified with the OMB control number 0910-0519. Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. 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. Control of Communicable Diseases; Restrictions on African Rodents, Prairie Dogs, and Certain Other Animals (OMB Control Number 0910-0519)—Extension Under 21 CFR 1240.63(a)(2)(ii), an individual must submit a written request to seek permission to capture, offer to capture, transport, offer to transport, sell, barter, or exchange, offer to sell, barter, or exchange, distribute, offer to distribute, and/or release into the environment any of the following animals: • Prairie dogs (Cynomys sp.), • African Tree squirrels (Heliosciurus sp.), • Rope squirrels (Funisciurus sp.) • African Dormice (Graphiurus sp.), • Gambian giant pouched rats (Cricetomys sp.), • Brush-tailed porcupines (Atherurus sp.), • Striped mice (Hybomys sp.), or Any other animal so prohibited by order of the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the Commissioner) because of that animal's potential to transmit the monkeypox virus. The request cannot seek written permission to sell, barter, or exchange, or offer to sell, barter, or exchange, as a pet, the animals listed previously or any animal covered by an order by the Commissioner. The request must state the reasons why an exemption is needed, describe the animals involved, and explain why an exemption will not result in the spread of monkeypox within the United States. Our estimates are based on our current experience with the interim final rule. To estimate the number of respondents, we examined the number of requests we have received in fiscal year 2006. There were 122 requests, submitted by 65 individuals, in that time, and this figure represents a minor increase over the previous estimate of 120 annual responses (See 69 FR 7752, February 19, 2004). As we cannot determine whether the latest data indicates a trend towards more requests or is an anomaly, we have elected to increase our estimate to 122 requests. We also have revised the estimated number of respondents to 65 (compared to 120 in our previous estimate) and, as a result, adjusted the annual frequency per response to 1.88 (which represents 122 responses/65 respondents; the actual result is 1.8769, which we have rounded up to 1.88). Furthermore, consistent with our earlier Paperwork Reduction Act submission, we will estimate that each respondent will need 4 hours to complete its request for an exemption. Therefore, the total reporting burden under 21 CFR 1240.63(a)(2)(ii)(A) and

(B)will be 488 hours (122 responses × 4 hours per response = 488 hours). In the **Federal Register** of March 13, 2007 (72 FR 11368), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received. **Table 1.—Estimated Annual Reporting Burden** 1 21 CFR Section No. of Respondents Annual Frequency per Response Total Annual Responses Hours per Response Total Hours 1240.63(a)(2)(ii)(A) and

(New)The mission of the Office of Rural Health Policy

(ORHP)is to sustain and improve access to quality care services for rural communities. In its authorizing language (Sec. 711 [42 U.S.C. 912]), Congress charged ORHP with “administering grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts to provide technical assistance and other activities as necessary to support activities related to improving health care in rural areas.” In 1991, the Health Service Outreach Grants were first appropriated under the authority of section 301 of the Public Health Service

(PHS)Act. In 1996, the Health Centers Consolidation Act of 1996 added the section 330A Rural Health Outreach Grant Program to the PHS Act. In 2002, this was amended and authorized again in the PHS Act, section 330A, as the Rural Health Care Services Outreach, Rural Health Network Development, and Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Grant Programs. Five rural health grant programs are currently operating under this authority:

(1)The Rural Health Care Services Outreach Grant Program (Outreach),

(2)the Rural Health Network Development Program (Network Development),

(3)the Small Health Care Provider Quality Improvement Grant Program (Quality),

(4)the Delta States Rural Development Network Grant Program (Delta), and

(5)the Network Development Planning Grant Program (Network Planning). These grants are to provide expanded delivery of health care services in rural areas, for the planning and implementation of integrated health care networks in rural areas, and for the planning and implementation of small health care provider quality improvement activities. In general, the grants may be used to expand access, coordinate, and improve the quality of essential health care services, and enhance the delivery of health care in rural areas. For these programs, program performance measures were drafted to provide data useful to the programs and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act

(GPRA)of 1993. These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to ORHP, including:

(a)Access to care,

(b)the underinsured and uninsured,

(c)workforce recruitment and retention,

(d)sustainability,

(e)health information technology,

(f)network development, and

(g)health-related clinical measures. Several measures will be used for all five programs. All measures will speak to the Office's progress toward meeting the goals set forth in its strategic plan.

Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006: Data Report Form: (OMB No. 0915-0253)—Revision The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report (formerly called the CARE Act Data Report (CADR)) was initially created in 1999 by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau. It has undergone revisions to incorporate the legislative changes that occurred in 2006. Grantees and their subcontracted service providers who are funded under Parts A, B, C, and D of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006, or Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (codified under Title XXVI of the Public Health Services Act) fill out the report. All Parts of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program specify HRSA's responsibilities in the administration of grant funds, the allocation of funds, the evaluation of programs for the population served, and the improvement of the quantity and quality of care. Accurate records of the providers receiving Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding, the services provided, and the clients served continue to be critical to the implementation of the legislation and thus are necessary for HRSA to fulfill its responsibilities. Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program grantees are required to report aggregate data to HRSA annually. The Data Report form is filled out by grantees and their subcontracted service providers. The report has seven different sections containing demographic information about the service providers as well as the clients served, information about the type of core and support services provided as well as the number of clients served, information about counseling and testing services, clinical information about the clients served, demographic tables for Parts C and D, and information about the Health Insurance Program. The primary purposes of the Data Report are to:

(1)Characterize the organizations where clients receive services;

(2)provide information on the number and characteristics of clients who receive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program services; and

(3)enable HAB to describe the type and amount of services a client receives. In addition to meeting the goal of accountability to the Congress, clients, advocacy groups, and the general public, information collected on the Data Report is critical for HRSA, State and local grantees, and individual providers to assess the status of existing HIV-related service delivery systems. The response burden for grantees is estimated as: Program under which grantee is funded Number of grantee respondents Responses per grantee Hours to coordinate receipt of data reports Total hour burden Part A Only 56 1 40 2,240 Part B Only 59 1 40 2,360 Part C Only 361 1 20 7,220 Part D Only 90 1 20 1,800 Subtotal 566 13,620 The response burden for service providers is estimated as: Program under which provider is funded Number of respondents Responses per provider Hours per response Total hour burden Part A Only 792 1 26 20,592 Part B Only 653 1 26 16,978 Part C Only 108 1 44 4,752 Part D Only 75 1 42 3,150 Funded under more than one program 703 1 50 35,150 Subtotal 2,331 80,622 Total for Both Grantees & Providers 2,897 94,242 Send comments to Susan G.

E7-15984 Filed 8-14-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4310-$$-P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Reclamation Resource Management Plan, Newlands Project, Washoe, Lyon, and Churchill Counties, NV AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior. ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental document (environmental assessment or environmental impact statement) and notice of public meetings. SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) proposes to prepare an environmental document for the purpose of evaluating options for management of natural resources within the Newlands Project. The purpose of the action is to prepare a Resource Management Plan

(RMP)for the lands managed in association with the Newlands Project. The RMP will be used to foster proper stewardship of public lands. The goal of Reclamation's RMP is to create a balance of resource development, recreation, and protection of natural and cultural resources for the lands and waters being managed. The plan will outline Reclamation management actions that will be implemented over a 10-year planning span. DATES: Public scoping meetings will be held to solicit public input on identification of resource issues on Newlands Project lands and features, and for the development of alternative management strategies for those resources. There will be additional opportunities to comment on the scope of alternatives and impacts at such time as those alternatives and impacts have been further developed through the RMP and NEPA process. The meetings dates and times are as follows: • Tuesday, September 18, 2007, 6 to 8 p.m., Reno , NV. • Wednesday, September 19, 2007, 6 to 8 p.m., Fallon, NV. Written comments should be mailed to Reclamation at the address below by October 3, 2007. ADDRESSES: The public scoping meeting locations are: • Reno at the Western Heritage Cultural Center, 6000 Bartley Ranch Road. • Fallon at the Fallon Convention Center, 100 Campus Way . Written comments on the scope of this action should be sent to: Ms. Terri Edwards, Bureau of Reclamation, 705 N. Plaza Street, Room 320, Carson City, NV 89701, via e-mail *tedwards@mp.usbr.gov,* or faxed to 775-884-8376. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Terri Edwards, Reclamation Project Manager, at the above address, at 775-884-8353, via fax at 775-884-8376, or e-mail at *tedwards@mp.usbr.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Reclamation's authority to prepare RMPs is specifically outlined in the Reclamation Recreation Management Act of 1992 (Pub.L. 102-575, Title 28). The Act authorized the preparation of RMPs to “provide for the development, use, conservation, protection, enhancement, and management of resources of Reclamation lands *in a manner that is compatible with the authorized purposes of the Reclamation Project* associated with the Reclamation lands.” The Newlands Project is primarily an irrigation project as set forth in legislation. The purposes of the Newlands Project were expanded in 1990 under Section 209 of Public Law 101-618. In addition to the existing irrigation purpose of the Newlands Reclamation Project, the Secretary of Interior is authorized to operate and maintain the project for the purposes of: 1. Fish and wildlife, including endangered and threatened species; 2. Municipal and industrial water supply in Lyon and Churchill counties, Nevada, including the Fallon Indian Reservation; 3. Recreation; 4. Water quality; and 5. Any other purposes recognized as beneficial under the law of the State of Nevada. However, additional uses of the Newlands Project

(1)Must have valid water rights and follow State law for any water right transfers;

(2)must not increase diversions of Truckee River water to the Newlands Project over those allowed under applicable operating criteria and procedures; and

(3)must not conflict with applicable court decrees. Reclamation has a contract with the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District to operate and maintain the Newlands Project Works. There is no intention to address operation and maintenance of Project Works through this RMP process. The Newlands Project RMP should achieve the following: 1. Identify issues and set forth goals and procedures for managing and administering resources on public lands. 2. Establish use levels and types of development that protect resources and are compatible with the uses of the public within legal and policy constraints; minimize conflicts among users. 3. Provide a flexible tool for land managers to assist in the proper administration, day-to-day operation, development, and management of public lands. 4. Provide a tool to aid in setting funding and staffing levels. If special assistance is required at the scoping meetings, please contact Terri Edwards at 775-884-8353 or via e-mail at *tedwards@mp.usbr.gov.* Please notify Ms. Edwards as far in advance of the meetings as possible to enable Reclamation to secure the needed services. If a request cannot be honored, the requestor will be notified. A telephone device for the hearing impaired

(TDD)is available at 916-978-5608. Before including your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time.

(202)205-1810. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted on October 26, 2005, based on a complaint filed by Symbol Technologies Inc. (“Symbol”) of Holtsville, New York. The complaint, as amended, alleged violations of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain laser bar code scanners or scan engines, components thereof, or products containing the same, by reason of infringement of various claims of United States Patent Nos. 5,457,308 (“the `308 patent”); 5,545,889 (“the `889 patent”); 6,220,514 (“the `514 patent”); 5,262,627 (“the `627 patent”); and 5,917,173 (“the `173 patent”). The complaint named two respondents: Metro Technologies Co., Ltd. of Suzhou, China, and Metrologic Instruments, Inc. of Blackwood, New Jersey (collectively, “Metrologic”). On January 29, 2007, the ALJ issued an initial determination (“ID”) finding a violation of section 337 in the importation of certain laser bar code scanners and scan engines, components thereof, and products containing the same, in connection with certain asserted claims. The ID also issued monetary sanctions against Respondents for discovery abuses. Complainant, Respondents, and the Commission investigative attorney (“IA”) each filed petitions for review of the ID on February 8, 2007. They each filed responses to each other's petitions on February 16, 2007. The Commission determined to review the following issues:

(1)The construction of the limitation “single, unitary, flexural component” in the `173 patent, and related issues of infringement, domestic industry, and validity;

(2)the construction of the limitation “oscillatory support means” in the `627 patent, and related issues of infringement, domestic industry, and validity;

(3)the construction of claims in the `889 patent containing “central area” limitations, and related issues of infringement, domestic industry, and validity;

(4)the construction of the “scan fragment” limitation in the asserted claims of the `308 patent; and

(5)the construction of the term “plurality” in the asserted claims of the `308 patent. On May 30, 2007, the Commission determined to make the following modifications to the claim constructions set forth in the final ID:

(1)In the `173 patent, the “single, unitary, flexural component” must include “portions integral with each other;”

(2)in the `627 patent, the “oscillatory support means” must oscillate;

(3)the limitations in the `889 patent containing requirements that the folding mirror be “near” or “adjacent” the central area of the collecting mirror allow for the folding mirror to be positioned close to, and either in front of or behind, the central area of the collecting mirror, but do not allow it to be mounted to the collecting mirror outside of the central area;

(4)“scan fragment,” as used in the `308 patent, means “a scan that reads less than all of a bar code symbol and that would have been discarded before the advent of scan-stitching techniques;” and

(5)the term “plurality” in the `308 patent means “two or more.” These changes did not affect the ALJ's findings on validity, infringement, or domestic industry. The Commission therefore affirmed those findings, as well as his finding of a violation of section 337 by Metrologic with regard to claim 48 of the `627 patent and claims 17 and 18 of the `173 patent. Consistent with its determination of violation, the Commission issued a Limited Exclusion Order and Cease and Desist Order related to claim 48 of the `627 patent and claims 17 and 18 of the `173 patent. On June 18, 2007, Metrologic filed a request for an advisory opinion under Commission Rule 210.79 (19 CFR 210.79) that would declare that its new scan module does not infringe claim 17 or 18 of the `173 patent and claim 48 of the `627 patent, and therefore is not covered by the Commission's Limited Exclusion Order or Cease and Desist Order issued on May 30, 2007. Metrologic further requested that the Commission conduct all proceedings related to the advisory opinion in an expedited manner and on summary determination based upon the evidence presented in its request without formal hearing or discovery. The Commission has examined Metrologic's request for an advisory opinion and has determined that it complies with the requirements for institution of an advisory opinion proceeding under Commission Rule 210.79(a). Accordingly, the Commission has determined to institute an advisory opinion proceeding. The Commission directs Symbol and the IA to state their views regarding whether they oppose Metrologic's request for an advisory opinion that the new scan module is not covered by the Limited Exclusion Order or Cease and Desist Order, and if so, whether they believe the matter should be referred to the ALJ. The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in section 210.79(a) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.79(a)). Issued: August 10, 2007. By order of the Commission. Marilyn R. Abbott, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc.
