Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review


    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 498-1210. Send written 
comments to CDC, Desk Officer, Human Resources and Housing Branch, New 
Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503. Written 
comments should be received within 30 days of this notice.
    Proposed Project: Children's Longitudinal Development Study, OMB 
No. 0920-0450--Revision--National Center for Birth Defects and 
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC). CDC developed the Children's Longitudinal Development 
Study to investigate etiologic factors for select developmental 
disabilities. Since 1991, surveillance of children aged three to ten 
years who have one or more select developmental disabilities (cerebral 
palsy, mental retardation, hearing loss, and vision impairment) has 
been conducted in the five-county Atlanta metropolitan area through CDC 
Metropolitan Atlanta Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program 
(MADDSP).
    MADDSP has identified children with developmental disabilities 
primarily through the special education programs of the public schools 
in those five counties. Recently, the Metropolitan Atlanta 
Developmental Disabilities Surveillance Program has been expanded to 
identify children with cerebral palsy at younger ages through a broader 
array of medical facilities where diagnostic evaluations are performed, 
and autism has been included as one of the developmental disabilities.
    CDC National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental 
Disabilities Children's Longitudinal Development Study is an ongoing 
case-control study that will serve as an instrument to annually, (1) 
contact parents of all children (1000 children) with any of the five 
developmental disabilities who are newly identified in the surveillance 
database and who were born in the metro Atlanta area; (2) contact 
parents of 500 children to request access to labor and delivery, 
maternal, and prenatal records; and (3) conduct telephone interviews 
with mothers of children with cerebral palsy or autism. The interviews 
will supply additional risk factor information relating to the mothers' 
medical and reproductive histories, prenatal behaviors and exposures, 
and family histories of developmental problems. Additionally, 
photographs and head circumference measurements of children will be 
included in the interview sample.
    The annual burden hours are estimated to be 1,625.
