Pregnancy and Perinatology Program. To request copies of the data 
collection plans and instruments, call Dr. Marian Willinger, (301) 496-
5575 (not a toll-free number).
    Comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection is

Proposed Project

    The Center for Research for Mothers and Children intends to conduct 
the study for ``Infant Sleep Position and SIDS Risk.'' The CRMC is 
authorized by Section 452 of Part G of Title IV of the Public Health 
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 288) as amended by the NIH Revitalization Act of 
1993 (Pub. L. 103-43).
    The information proposed for collection will be used by the NICHD 
to study if there is any correlation between the events occurring prior 
to death for infants who died of SIDS or their parents to determine the 
causes of SIDS.
    The annual burden estimates are as follows:
