SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
inaugural Physical Activity Guidelines
for Americans (PAG), issued in 2008,
represents the first comprehensive
guidelines on physical activity issued
by the federal government. The PAG
serves as the benchmark and primary,
authoritative voice of the federal
government for providing science-based
guidance on physical activity, fitness,
and health for Americans. Five years
after the first edition was released,
ODPHP, in collaboration with the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), and the
President’s Council on Fitness, Sports,
and Nutrition (PCFSN) led development
of the PAG Midcourse Report: Strategies
to Increase Physical Activity Among
Youth. The second edition of the PAG
will build upon the first edition and
provide a foundation for federal
recommendations and education for
physical activity programs for
Americans, including those at risk for
chronic disease.
Appointed Committee Members: The
Secretary of HHS appointed 17
individuals to serve as members of the
2018 PAGAC in June 2016. Information
on Committee membership is available
at www.health.gov/paguidelines/secondedition/committee/.
Committee’s Task: The work of the
2018 PAGAC will be time-limited and
solely advisory in nature. The
Committee will develop
recommendations based on the
preponderance of current scientific and
medical knowledge using a systematic
review approach. The Committee will
examine the current PAG, take into
consideration new scientific evidence
and current resource documents, and
develop a scientific report to the
Secretary of HHS that outlines its
science-based advice and
recommendations for development of
the second edition of the PAG. The
Committee will hold approximately five

performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the

Proposed Project: National Mental
Health Services Survey (N–MHSS)
(OMB No. 0930–0119)—Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA), Center for Behavioral
Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ)
is requesting a revision to the National
Mental Health Services Survey (N–
MHSS) (OMB No. 0930–0119), which
expires on February 28, 2017. The N–
MHSS provides annual national and
state-level data on the number and
characteristics of mental health
treatment facilities in the United States
and biennial national and state-level
data on the number and characteristics
of persons treated in these facilities.
The N–MHSS will provide updated
information about facilities for
SAMHSA’s online Behavioral Health
Treatment Services Locator (see: https://
findtreatment.samhsa.gov), which was
last updated with information from the
abbreviated N–MHSS (N–MHSS-Locator
Survey) in 2015. An abbreviated N–
MHSS (N–MHSS-Locator Survey) will
be conducted in 2017 and 2019 to
update the information about facilities
in the online Locator. A full-scale N–
MHSS will be conducted in 2018 to
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
collect (1) information about facilities
needed for updating the online Locator,
such as the facility name and address,
specific services offered, and special
client groups served and (2) additional
information about client counts and the
demographics of persons treated in
these facilities. Three small surveys are
proposed for adding new facilities to the
online Locator as they become known to
SAMHSA. Both the 2017 N–MHSSLocator Survey and the addition of new
facilities to the online Locator will use
the same N–MHSS-Locator Survey
instrument.
This request for a revision seeks to
change the content of the currently
approved abbreviated N–MHSS (i.e., N–
MHSS-Locator) survey instrument, and
the previously approved 2014 and 2016
full-scale N–MHSS (OMB No. 0930–
0119) to accommodate two related N–
MHSS activities:
(1) Collection of information from the
total N–MHSS universe of mental health
treatment facilities during 2017, 2018,
and 2019; and
(2) collection of information on newly
identified facilities throughout the year
as they are identified so that new
facilities can quickly be added to the
online Locator.
The survey mode for both data
collection activities will be web with
telephone follow-up. A paper
questionnaire will also be available to
facilities who request one.
The database resulting from the N–
MHSS will be used to update
SAMHSA’s online Behavioral Health
Treatment Services Locator and to
produce an electronic version of a
national directory of mental health
facilities, for use by the general public,
behavioral health professionals, and
