The Framingham Study will continue to
conduct examinations and morbidity and mortality follow-up in
original, offspring and third generation participants to study the
determinants of cardiovascular disease.
US Code:

USC 285b-3 Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
A revision to the previous OMB
submission is requested because the numbers of Offspring and Omni
Group 1 participants to be examined for the 2014-2016 time period
are much smaller than those during the last OMB approval period.
This is because a great majority of these two cohorts will have
completed their examinations by the end of the 2013. The small
number of participants remaining to be examined is reflected in the
decrease in the estimated annualized burden hours for these two
cohorts as well as for the entire study, compared to the last OMB
approval period.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
