3. Indirect Costs
This section applies to all grant
recipients that request reimbursement of
indirect costs in their grant application.
In accordance with HHS Grants Policy
Statement, Part II–27, IHS requires
applicants to have a current indirect
cost rate agreement in place prior to
award. The rate agreement must be
prepared in accordance with the
applicable cost principles and guidance
as provided by the cognizant agency or
office. A current rate means the rate
covering the applicable activities and
the award budget period. If the current
rate is not on file with the Division of
Grants Operations at the time of the
award, the indirect cost portion of the
budget will be restricted and not
available to the recipient until the
current rate is provided to the DGO.
If you have questions regarding the
indirect cost policy, please contact the
DGO at (301) 443–5204.
4. Reporting
A. Progress Report. Program progress
reports are required semiannually.
These reports will include a brief
comparison of actual accomplishments
to the goals established for the period,
reasons for slippage (if applicable), and
other pertinent information as required.
A final report must be submitted within
90 days of expiration of the budget/
project period.
B. Financial Status Report. Semi-
annual financial status reports must be
submitted within 30 days of the end of
the half year. Final financial status
reports are due within 90 days of
expiration of the budget period.
Standard Form 269 (long form) will be
used for financial reporting.
C. Reports. Grantee is responsible and
accountable for accurate reporting of the
Progress Reports and Financial Status
Reports which are generally due semi-
annually. Financial Status Reports (SF–
rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
269) are due 90 days after each budget
period and the final SF–269 must be
verified on how the value was derived.
Grantee must submit reports in a
reasonable period of time.
VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:45 Feb 12, 2008 Jkt 214001
Failure to submit required reports
within the time allowed may result in
suspension or termination of an active
agreement, withholding of additional
awards for the project, or other
enforcement actions such as
withholding of payments or converting
to the reimbursement method of
payment. Continued failure to submit
required reports may result in one or
both of the following: (1) The
imposition of special award provisions;
and (2) the non-funding or non-award of
other eligible projects or activities. This
applies whether the delinquency is
attributable to the failure of the
organization or the individual
responsible for preparation of the
reports.

The Parkinson’s, Genes and
Environment (PAGE) Study II
Summary: 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
National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish
periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: The
Parkinson’s, Genes and Environment
PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\13FEN1.SGM
(PAGE) Study II. Type of Information
Collection Request: NEW. Need and Use
of Information Collection: We propose a
large case-control study to evaluate roles
of environmental exposures, genes, and
gene-environment interactions in the
etiology of late-onset sporadic
Parkinson’s disease (PD). This project,
the Parkinson’s, Genes and Environment
Study II (PAGE II), will be developed
based on the infrastructure that was set
up for the ongoing PAGE I project.
PAGE I was designed to prospectively
evaluate diet and lifestyle exposures in
relation to PD risk. In PAGE I, we expect
to recruit approximately 1,200 incident
PD cases and 2,800 controls from the
NIH–AARP Diet and Health (DH)
cohort. The dietary and lifestyle data
were collected as part of the NIH–AARP
DH baseline surveys in the mid-1990s
by investigators from the National
Institute of Cancer. The cases in PAGE
I were PD cases who reported a
physician diagnosed PD during the 10
year follow-up of NIH–AARP DH cohort
and controls were appropriately
selected by frequency matching from
participants without PD in the same
cohort. As part of PAGE I, we are
confirming PD diagnoses for self-
identified PD cases by contacting their
neurologists and reviewing medical
records and are collecting saliva
samples for genetic testing from both
cases and appropriately selected
controls. As the NIH–AARP DH study
was designed to examine dietary and
lifestyle exposures important in the
etiology of cancer, many environmental
exposures key to PD research were not
collected. Examples include pesticide
use, occupational history, history of
infections, and use of statins. Therefore
the primary aim of the PAGE II project
is to retrospectively collect these
important environmental exposures
from PD cases and appropriately
selected controls. Cases and controls
identified from PAGE I will be re-
contacted and interviewed for data
collection in PAGE II. Assuming a 70%
response rate from cases and controls,
we expect to obtain this information
from approximately 850 PD cases and
1960 controls. This data collection,
together with the dietary and lifestyle
data and genetic samples obtained in
PAGE I, will make the PAGE study one
of the largest and most comprehensive
studies to date to examine
environmental and genetic causes of PD.
Frequency of Response: One 90 minute
long telephone interview. Affected
Public: Individuals. Type of
Respondents: We will enroll men and
women who participated in the PAGE I
study. The annual reporting burden is as
13FEN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 30 / Wednesday, February 13, 2008 / Notices
follows: Estimated Number of
Respondents: 2810. Estimated Number
of Responses per Respondent: 1
computer assisted telephone interview
(CATI). Average Burden Hours per
Response: 1.5. Estimated Total Burden
Hours Requested: 4215. The annualized
cost to respondents is estimated at $30
(assuming $20 hourly wage × 1.50
hours) for the interview. There are no
Capital Costs to report. There are no
Operating or Maintenance Costs to
report.
Request for Comments: Written
comments and/or suggestions from the
public and affected agencies are invited
on one or more of the following points:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the function of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) Ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
Ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

project or to obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and instruments,
