Proposed Project Pulmonary Function Testing Course Approval Program, 29 CFR 1910.1043 (OMB No. 0920-0138)—Extension—The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background NIOSH has the responsibility under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Cotton Dust Standard, 29 CFR 1920.1043, for approving courses to train technicians to perform pulmonary function testing in the cotton industry. Successful completion of a NIOSH-approved course is mandatory under the Standard. To carry out its responsibility, NIOSH maintains a Pulmonary Function Testing Course Approval Program. The program consists of an application submitted by potential sponsors (universities, hospitals, and private consulting firms) who seek NIOSH approval to conduct courses, and if approved, notification to NIOSH of any course or faculty changes during the approval period, which is limited to five years. The application form and added materials, including an agenda, curriculum vitae, and course materials are reviewed by NIOSH to determine if the applicant has developed a program which adheres to the criteria required in the Standard. Following approval, any subsequent changes to the course are submitted by course sponsors via letter or e-mail and reviewed by NIOSH staff to assure that the changes in faculty or course content continue to meet course requirements. Course sponsors also voluntarily submit an annual report to inform NIOSH of their class activity level and any faculty changes. Sponsors who elect to have their approval renewed for an additional 5 year period submit a renewal application and supporting documentation for review by NIOSH staff to ensure the course curriculum meets all current standard requirements. Approved courses that elect to offer NIOSH-Approved Spirometry Refresher Courses must submit a separate application and supporting documents for review by NIOSH staff. Institutions and organizations throughout the country voluntarily submit applications and materials to become course sponsors and carry out training. Submissions are required for NIOSH to evaluate a course and determine whether it meets the criteria in the Standard and whether technicians will be adequately trained as mandated under the Standard. The estimated annual burden to respondents is 196 hours. There will be no cost to respondents.

Proposed Project Evaluation of the Safe Dates Project—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). *Background and brief description of the proposed project:* The specific aims of this study are to describe the implementation and drivers of implementation of the Safe Dates program (implementation evaluation); to evaluate its impact on desired outcomes, including prevention of and reduction in dating violence victimization and perpetration (including psychological abuse, stalking, physical violence, and sexual violence) among ninth-grade students (experimental effectiveness evaluation); and to evaluate its cost-effectiveness, including cost-utility (cost evaluation). The evaluation will require participation from staff and students at 54 schools (18 treatment schools receiving the Safe Dates program with teacher training and observation, 18 treatment schools receiving the Safe Dates program without teacher training and observation, and 18 control schools not receiving the Safe Dates program). Implementation evaluation data will be collected primarily through Web questionnaires completed by principals, school prevention coordinators, and teachers delivering the program; effectiveness evaluation data will be collected via classroom scannable forms with ninth-graders who attend treatment or control schools; and cost evaluation data will be collected via a Web survey of teachers delivering the program who receive training and observation. High schools that agree to participation will be matched into sets of three. Characteristics that will be considered in the matching process include demographics and urban/rural county type. Large schools will be given the option to invite a census of ninth grade students to participate in the study or to invite a subset of ninth grade students (in certain classes) to participate. Schools within a set of three will be matched on census versus subset selection of ninth graders to ensure that all schools in a set use the same selection process. Eighteen matched sets of three schools will be selected. One school from each matched set will be assigned randomly either to receive the Safe Dates program with teacher training and observation, to receive the Safe Dates program without teacher training and observation, or to serve as a control group. Approximately 10,158 students at the 54 schools will complete a baseline effectiveness evaluation scannable survey. During the classroom-administered survey, information will be collected from students about how they feel about dating, communicating with a dating partner, and attitudes and behaviors related to violence, including violence between preteen and teen dating couples. Informed written consent from parents for their child's participation and informed written consent from ninth graders for their own participation will be obtained. During Web surveys, school staff will be asked about implementation and costs of the Safe Dates program. Effectiveness evaluation baseline data collection will span the period from October to November 2007, and follow-up data collection will occur during January and February 2009. Assuming an 80 percent response rate at follow-up, it is anticipated that a total of 8,126 students will complete follow-up effectiveness evaluation surveys. To evaluate the implementation and implementation drivers of the program, principals and prevention coordinators at all 54 schools will be asked to complete a series of Web surveys from October 2007 to February 2009. Assuming a 91 percent response rate for all school staff surveys, it is anticipated that 48 principals and 48 prevention coordinators will complete baseline implementation questionnaires, 32 principals and 32 prevention coordinators at treatment schools will complete mid-implementation questionnaires, 49 principals will complete end-of-school year implementation questionnaires, and 49 prevention coordinators will complete follow-up implementation questionnaires. In addition, 98 teachers at treatment schools will complete Web baseline implementation questionnaires, 49 teachers at treatment schools receiving training and observation will complete cost questionnaires, and 98 teachers at treatment schools will complete two mid-implementation questionnaires each. Students at treatment schools (n= 4,515) will also complete two mid-implementation questionnaires each. It is anticipated that study results will be used to determine the Safe Dates program's effectiveness, economic and time costs, cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, feasibility of implementation, dissemination facilitators, and needed improvements for implementation with fidelity. There are no costs to respondents except their time to participate in the interview. The total estimated annualized burden hours are 14,112.

(CATI)in 29 communities participating in REACH U.S. activities. Surveys will be available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Khmer, and Mandarin Chinese. The target number of surveys for each community is 900 adults, aged 18 and older, who belong to the racial/ethnic group served by the community-based program intervention. In communities that focus on breast and cervical cancer interventions, approximately 250 of the 900 interviews will involve women aged 40-64 years. Respondents will be identified through list-assisted random-digit dialing methods. The surveys will help to assess the prevalence of various risk factors associated with chronic diseases, deficits in breast and cervical cancer screening and management, and deficits in adult immunizations. The surveys will also assess progress towards the national goal of eliminating health disparities within the communities. There are no costs to respondents other than their time.

E7-22268 Filed 11-15-07; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4120-01-P DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Children and Families Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request *Title:* Computerized Support Enforcement Systems—NPRM. *OMB No.:* 0980-0271. *Description:* The information being collected is mandated by Section 454(16) of the Social Security Act (the Act), which provides for the establishment and operation by State agencies, in accordance with an initial and annually updated Advance Planning Document

(APD)approved under section 452(d) of the Act, of a statewide system meeting the requirements of section 454A of the Act. In addition, section 454A(e)(1) of the Act requires that States create a State Case Registry

(SCR)within their statewide automated child support systems to include information on IV-D cases and non-IV-D orders established or modified in the State on or after October 1, 1998. Section 454A(e)(5) of the Act requires States to regularly update their cases in the SCR. This notice reflects the new transaction set for SCR to Federal Case Registry

(FCR)transactions where States are encouraged, but not required, to submit child data from their SCR to the FCR. The data being collected for the APD are a combination of narratives, budgets and schedules, which are used to provide funding approvals on an annual basis and to monitor and oversee systems development. Child support has separate regulations under 45 CFR 307.15 related to submittal of APDs because the program had supplemental authority for enhanced funding for systems development, a requirement for Independent Validation and Verification (IV&V) reviews for high risk projects, waiver authority, and has substantial penalties for non-compliance with the statutory deadline of October 1, 2000. This information collection reflects the fact that 52 States and Territories are now certified as meeting the automation requirements of the Family Support Act of 1988

(FSA)and the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), leaving only two States that are not yet PRWORA systems certified and only one State that has not submitted an Implementation APD for compliance with PRWORA automation. The two States not yet certified have a requirement for ongoing IV&V, i.e., that up to five States will require semiannual IV&V services related to their plans to develop entirely new CSE systems to replace their legacy systems and that one State is operating under a waiver for an Alternative Systems Configuration which requires additional information to be provided on an annual basis. States and Territories that opted to keep their APD for child support systems are covered under a separate Information Collection, OMB No. 0992-0005, for 45 CFR Part 95 Subpart F. The data being collected for the SCR is used to transmit mandatory data elements to the FCR where it is used for matching against other databases for the purposes of location of individuals, assets, employment and other child support related activities. *Respondents:* State and Territorial Child Support Agencies.

All requests should be identified by the title of the information collection. E-mail address: *infocollection@acf.hhs.gov.* *OMB Comment:* OMB is required to make a decision concerning the collection of information between 30 and 60 days after publication of this document in the **Federal Register** . Therefore, a comment is best assured of having its full effect if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent directly to the following: Office of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project, Fax: 202-395-6974, Attn: Desk Officer for the Administration for Children and Families.
