a completed property sale. The
possibility of sellers or buyers using the
MLS but bypassing brokerage services is
already addressed effectively by the
Respondent’s existing rules that do not
distinguish between forms of listing
contracts, and does not justify the series
of exclusionary rules and policies
adopted by MiRealSource. It is possible,
of course, that a buyer of an Exclusive
Agency Listing may make the purchase
without using a selling broker, but this
is true for traditional Exclusive Right to
Sell Listings as well.
IV. The Proposed Consent Order
The proposed order is designed to
ensure that the Respondent does not
misuse its market power, while
preserving the procompetitive
incentives of members to contribute to
the MLS.
The proposed order prohibits
MiRealSource from adopting or
enforcing any rules or policies that deny
or limit the ability of MLS members to
enter into Exclusive Agency Listings, or
any other lawful listing agreements,
with sellers of properties. More
specifically, the proposed order
prohibits MiRealSource from preventing
its members from offering or accepting
Exclusive Agency Listings or other
lawful listing agreements; cooperating
with Listing Brokers or agents that offer
or accept Exclusive Agency Listings or
other lawful listing agreements;
publishing Exclusive Agency Listings or
other lawful listing agreements on the
MLS and approved Web sites;
publishing their information concerning
listings on public real estate Web sites,
including but not limited to http://
www.FSBO.com; requiring members to
have a physical office; and offering
unbundled real estate brokerage
services, including but not limited to
requiring MiRealSource Shareholders to
provide a minimum set of real estate
brokerage services. The proposed order
also prohibits MiRealSource from
denying or restricting the services of the
MLS to Exclusive Agency Listings or
other lawful listings in any way that
such services of the MLS are not denied
or restricted to Exclusive Right to Sell
Listings; or treating Exclusive Agency
Listings, or any other lawful listings, in
a less advantageous manner than
Exclusive Right to Sell Listings,
including but not limited to, any policy,
rule or practice pertaining to the
transmission, downloading, or
displaying of information pertaining to
such listings.
In addition to these substantive
provisions, the proposed order states
that, within forty-five days after it
becomes final, Respondent shall have

conformed its rules to the substantive
provisions of the order. Respondent is
further required to notify its members of
the applicable order through its usual
business communications and its Web
site. The proposed order requires
notification to the Commission of
changes in the respondent’s structure,
and periodic filings of written reports
concerning compliance. The relief in the
proposed consent order ensures that the
Respondent cannot revert to the old
rules or policies, or engage in future
variations of the challenged conduct.
The proposed order applies to
MiRealSource and entities it owns or
controls, including its respective MLS
and any affiliated Web site it operates.
The order does not prohibit members, or
other independent persons or entities
that receive listing information from
Respondent, from making independent
decisions concerning the use or display
of such listing information on member
or third-party Web sites, consistent with
any contractual obligations to
Respondent.
The proposed order will expire in 10
years.
By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.

Proposed Project
Human Exposure to Cyanobacterial
Toxins in Water (OMB No. 0920–
0527)—Reinstatement—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) can
be found in terrestrial, fresh, brackish,
or marine water environments. Some
species of cyanobacteria produce toxins
that may cause acute or chronic
illnesses (including neurotoxicity,
hepatotoxicity, and skin irritation) in
humans and animals (including other
mammals, fish, and birds). A number of
human health effects, including
gastroenteritis, respiratory effects, skin
irritations, allergic responses, and liver
damage, are associated with the
ingestion of or contact with water
containing cyanobacterial blooms.
Although the balance of evidence, in
conjunction with data from laboratory
animal research, suggests that
cyanobacterial toxins are responsible for
a range of human health effects, there
have been few epidemiologic studies of
this association.
During August 2006, we conducted
our first study to assess exposure to
microcystins in recreational waters with
a bloom of Microcystis aeruginosa. We
recruited 104 people who gave informed
consent to participate. Ninety seven
people did their recreational activities
on Lake 1, which had a confirmed M.
aeruginosa bloom, and 7 others did their
activities on Lake 2, which had no
bloom. Study participants completed a
pre-activity questionnaire, a postactivity questionnaire, provided a 10-ml
blood sample, and completed a
telephone symptom survey 7–10 days
after exposure. The concentrations of
microcystins in Lake 1 ranged from 2 to
5 ug/L and in Lake 2 were all below the
limit of detection (LOD). When we
designed the study, we calculated that
a person exposed to recreationallygenerated aerosols from water
containing 10 ug/L of microcystins
should have levels of microcystins in

E:\FR\FM\12FEN1.SGM

12FEN1

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 28 / Monday, February 12, 2007 / Notices
their blood. However, the microcystin
concentrations in Lake 2 were below the
LOD and in Lake 1 were actually 2ug/
L to 5ug/L, much lower than we
anticipated based on data from the
previous week. Thus, the recreational
exposures were not likely high enough
for us to quantify microcystins in blood
and the serum samples were all below
the LOD for microcystins.
For the new data collection, we will
recruit 100 study participants who are at
risk for swallowing water or inhaling
spray (i.e., water skiers, jet skiers,
people sailing small boats) and who

complete a telephone symptom survey
8–10 days after doing study activities.
The purpose of the new data
collection is to continue assessing the
public health impact of exposure to the
cyanobacterial toxins, microcystins,
during recreational activities. We will
examine the extent of human exposure
to microcystins present in recreational
waters and associated aerosols and
whether serum levels of microcystins
can be used as a biomarker of exposure.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time.

would normally be doing these
activities, even in the presence of a
bloom. We may recruit people who train
for organized swimming events (e.g.,
triathlons) in lakes. In addition, we will
recruit 50 study participants from lakes
with no blooms as a comparison group
to assess the health effects associated
with recreational activities on ‘‘clean’’
lakes. Study participants will be asked
to sign a consent form, complete a
symptom survey before and after doing
their recreational water activities,
provide one 10-ml whole blood sample
after their recreational activities, and

Proposed Project
Work Organization Predictors of
Depression in Women—Extension—The
National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Depression is a costly and debilitating
occupational health problem. Research
has indicated that the costs to an
organization of treatment for depression
can rival those for heart disease, and
both major depressive disorder and
forms of minor depression have been
found to be associated with more
disability days than other types of
health diagnoses. This may be of
particular relevance for working
women. Various national and
international studies indicate that
women in developed countries
experience depression at up to twice the
rate of men. Studies that have examined
this gender difference have focused on

social, personality, and genetic
explanations while few have explored
factors in the workplace that may
contribute to the gender differential.
Examples of workplace factors that may
contribute to depression among women
include: Additive workplace and home
responsibilities, lack of control and
authority, and low paying and low
status jobs. Additionally, women are
much more likely to face various types
of discrimination in the workplace than
men, ranging from harassment to
inequalities in hiring and promotional
opportunities, and these types of
stressors have been strongly linked with
psychological distress and other
negative health outcomes. On the
positive side, organizations that are
judged by their employees to value
diversity and employee development
engender lower levels of employee
stress, and those that enforce policies
against discrimination have more
committed employees. Such
organizational practices and policies
may be beneficial for employee mental
health, particularly the mental health of
women.
This research focuses on the following
questions: (1) Which work organization
factors are most predictive of depression
in women, and (2) are there measurable
work organization factors that confer
protection against depression in women
employees?
The research uses repeated measures,
prospective design with data collection
at three points (baseline and 1-year and
2-year follow-ups). A 45-minute survey
