Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Prostate, Lung, Colorectal
and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial
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 Cancer Institute (NCI), 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: Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and
Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.
Type of Information Collection
Request: EXTENSION, OMB control
number 0925–0407, expiration date July
31, 2005.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: This trial is designed to
determine if screening for prostate, lung,
colorectal and ovarian cancer can
reduce mortality from these cancers
which currently cause an estimated
263,000 deaths annually in the U.S. The
design is a two-armed randomized trial
of men and women aged 55 to 74 at
entry. The total sample size t is 154,938.
The primary endpoint of the trial is
cancer-specific mortality for each of the
four cancer sites (prostate, lung,
colorectum, and ovary). In addition,
cancer incidence, stage shift, and case
survival are to be monitored to help
understand and explain results. Biologic
prognostic characteristics of the cancers
will be measured and correlated with
mortality to determine the mortality
predictive value of these intermediate
endpoints. Basic demographic data, risk
factor data for the four cancer sites and
screening history data, as collected from
all subjects at baseline, will be used to
assure comparability between the
screening and control groups and make
appropriate adjustments in analysis.
Further, demographic and risk factor
information may be used to analyze the
differential effectiveness of screening in
high versus low risk individuals.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Type of Respondents: Adult men and
women.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
145,852;
Estimated Number of Responses Per
Respondent: 1.14;
Average Burden Hours Per Response:
0.14; and
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours Requested: 23,278.
The annualized cost to respondents is
estimated at: $232,780. 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

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.

Workplace Helpline Call Record Form
(OMB NO. 0930–0232)—Revision
Workplace Helpline is a toll-free,
telephone consulting service which
provides information, guidance and
assistance to employers, communitybased prevention organizations and
labor offices on how to deal with
alcohol and drug abuse problems in the
workplace. The Helpline was required
by Presidential Executive Order 12564
and has been operating since 1987. It is
located in the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services
Administration’s Center for Substance
Abuse Prevention (CSAP), where it is
managed out of the Division of
Workplace Programs.
Callers access the Helpline service
through one of its Workplace Prevention
Specialists (WPS) who may spend from
several to up to 30 minutes with a
caller, providing guidance on how to
develop a comprehensive workplace
prevention program (written policy,
employee assistance program services,
employee education, supervisor
training, and drug testing) or
components thereof.
When a call is received, the WPS uses
a Call Record Form to record
information about the call, including the

agrees to answer any question. To
determine if the caller is representing an
employer or other organization that is
seeking assistance in dealing with
substance abuse in the workplace, each
caller is asked for his/her position in the
company/organization and the basis for
the call. In the course of the call, the

Survey of Medicaid Directors
Regarding Medicaid Mental Health
Services and Policy—New
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will conduct a survey of
State Medicaid directors to learn about
the relationships between State mental
health authorities and State Medicaid
agencies in each State and the District
of Columbia. In addition, SAMHSA will
ask about the administration of
Medicaid mental health services, the
development of Medicaid mental health
policy, mental health services statistics
generated by Medicaid programs, and
the characteristics of mental healthrelated data maintained by Medicaid
agencies and used by mental health and
other state agencies.
The survey will contact State
Medicaid directors in all fifty States
(and the District of Columbia) and will
gather information on the following five
survey domains: Organization structure;
Medicaid mental health services policy
infrastructure; Medicaid mental health
services, rates, and funding; Medicaid
mental health providers; and, Data.
The survey will identify and describe,
at the State level, how Medicaid mental
health policy is developed; whether
Medicaid mental health services and
providers are treated differently from
other Medicaid services and providers,
and if so, how; and the availability of

data and reports on Medicaid mental
health service use/and or expenditures.
This information collection supports
the New Freedom Initiative, one of
SAMHSA’s current priorities. As part of
this effort, the President launched the
New Freedom Commission on Mental
Health to address the problems in the
current mental health system. The
Commission noted that fragmentation of
responsibility for mental health services
is a serious problem at the State level.
Two of the Commission’s 19
recommendations for the improvement
of the mental health system were aimed
at this problem. One was directed to
States (create a comprehensive State
mental health plan) and the other to the
Federal government (align relevant
Federal programs to improve access and
accountability for mental health
services). This survey is aimed at
providing information that can help in
carrying out these recommendations by
further illuminating the relationships
between State Medicaid and mental
health agencies in the development and
implementation of mental health policy.
Telephone interviews will be
conducted with State Medicaid
directors. Each interview will last one
hour. Because of the open-ended nature
of many of the survey questions and the
general reluctance of State Medicaid
directors to complete detailed paper or
electronic surveys, we propose to
conduct all the interviews by telephone,
unless interviewees prefer to respond to
a paper or electronic version.
