Proposed Data Collections Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

    In compliance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on 
proposed data collection projects, the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. 
To request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a 
copy of the data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports 
Clearance Officer on (404) 639-7090.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques for other 
forms of information technology. Send comments to Seleda Perryman, CDC

    Proposed Project: Follow-Up Study of Children With Developmental 
Disabilities (0920-0436)--RENEWAL--National Center for Environmental 
Health (NCEH). In the mid-1980s, a number of 10-year-old children were 
identified as having one or more of five developmental disabilities: 
mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, hearing impairment, or 
vision impairment. These children were identified (mainly from special 
education records in the public schools) in the metro-Atlanta area as 
part of a study to develop surveillance methods for these conditions in 
school-age children. A follow-up study was initiated to trace, locate 
and interview these children, who are now in their early twenties, to 
assess their status with regard to educational attainment, employment, 
living arrangements, services received, functional limitations,

adaptive behavior, social participation, health, and quality of life.
    This study proposes to continue with the one-time, in-person 
interview and includes a contemporaneous comparison group of persons 
who, at age 10 years, were in regular education classes in the same 
schools as were the persons with developmental disabilities. The data 
generated from this study will continue to be used to estimate the 
burden of secondary health conditions, limited social participation, 
and economic disadvantage among young adults with long-standing, 
developmental impairments. The total cost to recipients is $0.00.
    This request is for a one-year renewal of the currently-approved 
study.
