DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review; 30-Day Comment Request; The Framingham
Heart Study (NHLBI)
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has
submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request for
review and approval of the information collection listed below. This
proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal
Register on 12/31/2015, pages 81830-81832. No comments were received.
The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), National
Institutes of Health, may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is
not required to respond to, an information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Direct Comments to OMB: Written comments and/or suggestions
regarding the item(s) contained in this notice, especially regarding
the estimated public burden and associated response time, should be
directed to the: Office of Management and Budget, Office of Regulatory
Affairs, [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974,
Attention: NIH Desk Officer.
Comment Due Date: Comments regarding this information collection
are best assured of having their full effect if received within 30-days
of the date of this publication.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments, submit comments in writing, or
request more information on the proposed project, contact: Ms. Deshiree
Belis, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes
of Health, 6705 Rockledge Dr., Suite 6185A, Bethesda, MD 20892, or call
non-toll-free number 301-435-1032, or Email your request, including
your address to [email protected]. Formal requests for additional
plans and instruments must be requested in writing.
Proposed Collection: The Framingham Heart Study, 0925-0216,
Revision, National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information Collection: This proposal is to extend
the Framingham Study to examine the Generation Three Cohort, New
Offspring Spouses and Omni Group 2 Cohort, as well as to continue to
monitor the morbidity and mortality which occurs in all Framingham
Cohorts. The contractor, with the collaborative assistance of NHLBI
Intramural staff, will invite study participants, schedule
appointments, administer examinations and testing, enter information
into computer databases for editing, and prepare scientific reports of
the information for publication in appropriate scientific journals. All
participants have been examined previously and thus the study deals
with a stable, carefully described group. Data are collected in the
form of an observational health examination involving such components
as blood pressure measurements, venipuncture, electrocardiography and a
health interview, including questions about lifestyles and daily living
situations. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute uses the
results of the Framingham Study to: (1) Characterize risk factors for
cardiovascular and lung
[[Page 20660]]
diseases so that national prevention programs can be designed and
implemented; (2) evaluate trends in cardiovascular diseases and risk
factors over time to measure the impact of overall preventive measures;
and (3) understand the etiology of cardiovascular and lung diseases so
that effective treatment and preventive modalities can be developed and
tested. Most of the reports of study results have been published in
peer reviewed medical journals and books.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 8,382.
