Proposed Collection: Title: A MultiCenter International Hospital-Based
Case-Control Study of Lymphoma in
Asia (AsiaLymph) (NCI). Type of
Information Collection Request:
Emergency. Need and Use of
Information Collection: Incidence rates
of certain lymphomas have increased in
several centers in Asia thereby
increasing the cancer burden in these
populations, but the causes remain
unknown. AsiaLymph is a multidisciplinary case-control study that will
confirm and extend previous findings
and yield novel insights into the causes
of lymphoma in both Asia and the West.
The major postulated risk factors for
evaluation in this study are chemical
exposures (i.e., organochlorines,
trichloroethylene, and benzene) and
genetic susceptibility. Other factors
potentially related to lymphoma, such
as viral infections, ultraviolet radiation
exposure, medical conditions, and other
lifestyle factors will also be studied.
Patterns of key risk factors, including
range of exposures, prevalence of
exposures, correlations between
exposures, and variation in gene regions
are of particular interest. Patients from
19 participating hospitals will be
screened and enrolled. There will be a
one-time computer-administered
interview, and patients will also be
asked to provide a one-time blood and
buccal cell mouth wash sample and
lymphoma cases will be asked to make
available a portion of their pathology
sample. Frequency of Response: Once.
Affected Public: Individuals. Type of
Respondents: Newly diagnosed patients
with lymphoma or patients undergoing
surgery or other treatment for noncancer related medical issues who live
in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Chengdu
and Tianjin, China will be enrolled at
treating hospitals. The annual reporting
burden is estimated at 3,377 hours (see
Table below). There are no Capital
Costs, Operating Costs, and/or
Maintenance Costs to report.

Justification
HRSA is extending funding for the
Leadership Training in Pediatric
Dentistry grants by one year for the
following reason: MCHB has been
working with leaders within HRSA
involved in oral health, the Bureau of
Health Professions (BHPr) on oral health
training investments, and other oral
health leaders in the field to align its
leadership training in oral health with
HRSA’s other oral health training
investments. With HRSA prioritizing
oral health integration in primary care,
MCHB is focusing on the best possible
use of its funds to continue to promote
oral health training in a coordinated
way related to efforts and initiatives
within HRSA and the field.
HRSA’s BHPr plans to hold a
stakeholders meeting on oral health
training in 2012 that would impact the
scope and nature of all HRSA’s oral
health training initiatives. To ensure
coordinated and non-duplicative HRSA
program planning and future oral health
grant funding, it is crucial to fund
MCHB’s current training program for
one year to sustain MCH oral health
leadership training, while developing
the next MCH oral health leadership
training initiative in a systemically
coordinated way with other HRSA oral
health training initiatives.

Submission for OMB Emergency
Review; Comment Request: A MultiCenter International Hospital-Based
Case-Control Study of Lymphoma in
Asia (AsiaLymph) (NCI)
Summary: In accordance with Section
3507(j) of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, the National Cancer Institute
(NCI), the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
request for emergency review and
processing this information collection
by March 5, 2012. NCI is requesting
emergency processing of this
information collection, pursuant to 5
CFR 1320.13, because NCI cannot
reasonably comply with the normal
clearance procedures which would
cause a delay and likely prevent or
substantially disrupt the collection of
information. A delay in starting the
information collection would hinder the
agency in accomplishing its mission to
the detriment of the public good. Public
harm could result through the loss of
critically needed information to
understand and reduce the cancer
burden from lymphoid malignancies in
the Asian population. The 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.

review and approval.
Proposed Collection
Title: Stress and Cortisol
Measurement Substudy for the National
Children’s Study (NCS). Type of
Information Collection Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The Children’s Health Act of 2000 (Pub.
L. 106–310) states:
(a) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this
section to authorize the National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development to
conduct a national longitudinal study of
environmental influences (including
physical, chemical, biological, and
psychosocial) on children’s health and
development.
(b) IN GENERAL.—The Director of the
National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development shall establish a
consortium of representatives from
appropriate Federal agencies (including the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the Environmental Protection Agency) to—
(1) Plan, develop, and implement a
prospective cohort study, from birth to
adulthood, to evaluate the effects of both
chronic and intermittent exposures on child
health and human development; and
(2) Investigate basic mechanisms of
developmental disorders and environmental
factors, both risk and protective, that
influence health and developmental
processes.
(c) REQUIREMENT.—The study under
subsection (b) shall—
(1) Incorporate behavioral, emotional,
educational, and contextual consequences to
enable a complete assessment of the physical,
chemical, biological, and psychosocial
environmental influences on children’s wellbeing;
(2) Gather data on environmental
influences and outcomes on diverse
populations of children, which may include
the consideration of prenatal exposures; and
(3) Consider health disparities among
children, which may include the
consideration of prenatal exposures.

To fulfill the requirements of the
Children’s Health Act, the Stress and
Cortisol Measurement Substudy will
develop an optimized, item-reduced
measure of self-reported stress that is
supported empirically through
convergent validity analysis of stress
biomarkers. Specifically, key
moderators of stress biomarkers will be
evaluated to inform the efficiency and
quality of measurements during
pregnancy. Development of a
scientifically robust maternal stress
measure would measure chronic stress
more efficiently, would not require
biospecimen collection and biomarker

analyses, and would thereby reduce
participant burden and NCS Vanguard
(Pilot) and NCS Main Study costs. With
this information collection request, the
NCS seeks to obtain OMB’s clearance to
conduct a substudy aimed at developing
a validated questionnaire that will
reflect specific biological and
physiological measures of maternal
stress.
Background
The National Children’s Study is a
prospective, national longitudinal study
of the interaction between environment,
genetics on child health and
development. The Study defines
‘‘environment’’ broadly, taking a
number of natural and man-made
environmental, biological, genetic, and
psychosocial factors into account. By
studying children through their
different phases of growth and
development, researchers will be better
able to understand the role these factors
have on health and disease. Findings
from the Study will be made available
as the research progresses, making
potential benefits known to the public
as soon as possible. The National
Children’s Study is led by a consortium
of federal partners: the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (http://
www.hhs.gov/) (including the Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development
(http://www.nichd.nih.gov/) and the
National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (http://
www.niehs.nih.gov/) of the National
Institutes of Health (http://
www.nih.gov/) and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (http://
www.cdc.gov/)), and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(http://www.epa.gov/).
To conduct the detailed preparation
needed for a study of this size and
complexity, the NCS was designed to
include a preliminary pilot study
known as the Vanguard Study. The
purpose of the Vanguard Study is to
assess the feasibility, acceptability, and
cost of the recruitment strategy, study
procedures, and outcome assessments
that are to be used in the NCS Main
Study. The Vanguard Study begins prior
to the NCS Main Study and will run in
parallel with the Main Study. At every
phase of the NCS, the multiple
methodological studies conducted
during the Vanguard phase will inform
the implementation and analysis plan
for the Main Study.
In this information collection request,
the NCS requests approval from OMB to
perform a multi-center substudy, called
the Stress and Cortisol Measurement
Substudy. This substudy aims to
