participants will be selected from
geographical areas of each state where
groundwater is known or suspected to
contain contaminants of public health
concern. We will administer a
questionnaire at each household to
obtain information on selection of water
treatment type, adherence to suggested
maintenance, and reasons for use of
treatment device. We will also obtain
samples of treated water and untreated
well water at each household to analyze
for contaminants of public health
concern. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.

Request; NCCAM Customer Service
Data Collection
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 Center for Complementary and
Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), at 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: NCCAM
Customer Service Data Collection. Type
of Information Collection Request:
Renewal. Need and Use of Information
Collection: NCCAM provides the public,
patients, families, health care providers,
complementary and alternative
medicine (CAM) practitioners, and
others with the latest scientifically
based information on CAM and
information about NCCAM’s programs
through a variety of channels, including
its toll-free telephone information
service and its quarterly newsletter. To
ensure that NCCAM is effectively
serving all audiences, NCCAM needs to
continue to measure customer
satisfaction with NCCAM telephone
interactions and the NCCAM newsletter
and to assess which audiences are being
reached through these channels. This
effort involves a telephone survey
consisting of 10 questions, which are
asked of 25 percent of all callers, for an
annual total of approximately 1,210
respondents; a print newsletter survey
consisting of 10 questions, which is sent
to all print newsletter subscribers, for an
annual total of approximately 339
respondents; and an online newsletter
survey consisting of 14 questions, which
all visitors to the newsletter page on the
NCCAM Web site have the option of

use among special populations, and
assess the most effective media and
messages to reach these audiences.
Frequency of Response: Once for the
telephone survey, and three times for
the newsletter survey (once every year
to measure any changes in customer
satisfaction and/or audience profile).
Affected Public: Individuals and
households. Type of Respondents: For
the telephone survey, patients, spouses/
family/friends of patients, health care
providers, physicians, CAM
practitioners, or other individuals
contacting the NCCAM Clearinghouse;
for the print newsletter survey,
subscribers to the print NCCAM
newsletter; and for the online newsletter
survey, visitors to the newsletter page
on NCCAM’s Web site.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows.

proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health

will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more
information on the proposed projects or
to obtain a copy of the information
collection plans, call the SAMHSA
Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276–
1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collections of information
are necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information; (c) ways to enhance the

information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or

Proposed Project: Mandatory
Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug
Testing Programs (OMB NO. 0930–
0158)—Revision
SAMHSA’s Mandatory Guidelines for
Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs will request OMB approval for
the Federal Drug Testing Custody and
Control Form for Federal agency and
federally regulated drug testing
programs which must comply with the
HHS Mandatory Guidelines for Federal
Workplace Drug Testing Programs (69
FR 19644) dated April 13, 2004, and for
the information provided by laboratories
for the National Laboratory Certification
Program (NLCP).
The Federal Drug Testing Custody
and Control Form is used by all Federal
agencies and employers regulated by the
Department of Transportation to
document the collection and chain of
custody of urine specimens at the
collection site, for laboratories to report
results, and for Medical Review Officers
to make a determination. The Federal
Drug Testing Custody and Control Form
approved by OMB three years ago is
being resubmitted for OMB approval
without any revision.
Prior to an inspection, a laboratory is
required to submit specific information
regarding its laboratory procedures.
Collecting this information prior to an
inspection allows the inspectors to
thoroughly review and understand the
laboratory’s testing procedures before
arriving at the laboratory.
The NLCP application form has not
been revised compared to the previous
form.
