    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
    of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management 
    and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an 
    early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB 
    may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the 
    extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat 
    the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal 
    law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform 
    its statutory obligations. The Acting Leader, Information Management 
    Group, Office of the Chief Information Officer, publishes that notice 
    containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission 
    of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection, grouped 
    by office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g. 
    new, revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) 
    Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and 
    proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of 
    collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites 
    public comment.

        Abstract: The Early Childhood Longitudinal Study--Birth Cohort 2000 
    (ECLS-B) is a component of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Studies 
    Program. Studies also include the Kindergarten Class of 1998-1999, 
    currently under way. The ECLS program responds to increased policy 
    interest in a critical period in the development of children, the years 
    from zero to three. The principal purposes of the study are to assess 
    chidlren's health status and their growth and development in a variety 
    of key domains that are critical for later school readiness and 
    academic achievement. The key domains include physical health and 
    growth, motor development, and social and emotional maturation. The 
    data set will provide a comprehensive and reliable longitudinal data 
    set describing the growth of children from birth through first grade. 
    The data can also be used by a wide range of federal agencies on topics 
    such as maternal and child health; childhood illnesses and 
    disabilities; nonparental child care and early childhood education; 
    health intervention; family economics and composition; welfare 
    dependency; cultural diversity; and food and nutrition.
