Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects
(section 3506(c)(2) of Title 44, United
States Code, as amended by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13), the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects being
developed for submission to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. To request more information on
the proposed project or to obtain a copy
of the data collection plans, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on
(301) 443–1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is 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 quality, utility, and
clarity of 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
of other forms of information
technology.
Proposed Project: Sentinel Centers
Network Technical Assistance Needs
Assessment (NEW)
HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Health
Care (BPHC) established the Sentinel
Centers Network (SCN) to assist in
addressing critical quality,
programmatic, and policy issues. Health
centers submit core data periodically
that is extracted from existing
information systems. In order to assess
needs for technical assistance (TA),
information will be requested from
centers regarding current information
systems, updates/changes to
information systems, and other TA
needs. This information will be
collected periodically via a project Web
site and will be used to manage the
ongoing needs of network participants.

Proposed Project: Women’s Physical
Activity and Eating Tools Assessment:
NEW
The HRSA Office of Women’s Health
(OWH) developed the Bright Futures for
Women’s Health and Wellness
(BFWHW) Initiative to help expand the
scope of women’s preventive health
activities, particularly related to
nutrition and physical activity. Building
upon a previous pilot study, an
intermediate assessment of the BFWHW
health promotion tools and materials
related to physical activity and healthy

eating will be conducted in order to
identify characteristics of both
individual and organizational change
toward health and wellness associated
with the uptake and use of the BFWHW
tools. This data collection effort will
ensure that the BFWHW tools are
disseminated and utilized in the most
effective ways, used to inform future
BFWHW programming, and added to
the literature regarding evidence-based
women’s health and wellness
initiatives.
Towards this end, questionnaires will
be used to collect data from adolescent
and adult women clients, providers, and
administrators of community health
provider organizations. Data collected
will include process, impact, and
outcome measures. Data domains
include the implementation and use of
the BFWHW tools, including
distribution and use; provider training;
organizational characteristics related to
successful implementation; client and
provider awareness; attitudes about the
importance of physical activity,
nutrition and self-efficacy to take steps
to make effective changes; increase in
knowledge and intent to change
behavior after exposure; and short-term
outcomes related to improved
preventive healthcare for women. A
total of six organizations, which may
include HHS Centers of Excellence and
Community Centers of Excellence in

Centers, faith-based organizations, and
school-based health clinics, will be
selected for the study. Adolescent and
adult women patients of various racial
and ethnic backgrounds will complete
the anonymous questionnaires at these
six organizations. The providers at these
same sites will also be asked to
complete a brief anonymous
questionnaire. Telephone interviews
will be conducted with an administrator
of each of these sites as well. The data
collection period is estimated to last
four months.

Agencies

ACTION: Notice.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) notifies Federal
agencies of the laboratories currently
certified to meet the standards of
Subpart C of the Mandatory Guidelines
for Federal Workplace Drug Testing
Programs (Mandatory Guidelines). The
Mandatory Guidelines were first
published in the Federal Register on
April 11, 1988 (53 FR 11970), and
subsequently revised in the Federal
Register on June 9, 1994 (59 FR 29908),
on September 30, 1997 (62 FR 51118),
and on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19644).
A notice listing all currently certified
laboratories is published in the Federal
Register during the first week of each
month. If any laboratory’s certification
is suspended or revoked, the laboratory
will be omitted from subsequent lists
until such time as it is restored to full
VerDate Aug<31>2005

certification under the Mandatory
Guidelines.
If any laboratory has withdrawn from
the HHS National Laboratory
Certification Program (NLCP) during the
past month, it will be listed at the end,
and will be omitted from the monthly
listing thereafter.
This notice is also available on the
Internet at https://workplace.samhsa.gov
and https://www.drugfreeworkplace.gov.

Giselle Hersh or Dr. Walter Vogl,

2610 (fax).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Mandatory Guidelines were developed
in accordance with Executive Order
12564 and section 503 of Public Law
100–71. Subpart C of the Mandatory
Guidelines, ‘‘Certification of
Laboratories Engaged in Urine Drug
Testing for Federal Agencies,’’ sets strict
standards that laboratories must meet in
order to conduct drug and specimen
validity tests on urine specimens for
Federal agencies. To become certified,
an applicant laboratory must undergo
three rounds of performance testing plus
an on-site inspection. To maintain that
certification, a laboratory must
participate in a quarterly performance
testing program plus undergo periodic,
on-site inspections.
Laboratories which claim to be in the
applicant stage of certification are not to
be considered as meeting the minimum
requirements described in the HHS
Mandatory Guidelines. A laboratory
must have its letter of certification from
HHS/SAMHSA (formerly: HHS/NIDA)
which attests that it has met minimum
standards.
In accordance with Subpart C of the
Mandatory Guidelines dated April 13,
