ACTION: Notice of Single Source Award.
AGENCY:
Stabilization and Enhancement Grant
Program.
Project Period: The period of the
award is from September 1, 2007,
through April 1, 2008.
Justification for the Exception to
Competition
This project will be implemented
through a single source cooperative
agreement because the HSC is uniquely
positioned to immediately undertake
and complete the activities within the
seven month time frame. HSC is
currently developing low literacy
poison prevention materials, and this
project will enhance the existing
package of materials. The HSC has
existing organizational knowledge and
experience in developing materials for
the low literacy population through its
Home Safety Literacy Project, of which
this project will be a component. The
HSC has an existing relationship with
key stakeholders in place for reaching
this vulnerable population, and the HSC
project director has extensive expertise
in poison prevention education.

HRSA will be enhancing the
partnership with the Home Safety
Council (HSC) to collaborate on
reaching America’s low literacy
population. Through this project,
additional poison prevention training
materials targeting the low literacy
population will be developed and
distributed to the public, poison centers,
safety and injury prevention
professionals, health educators, and first
responders. HRSA first announced the
partnership with the HSC in the Federal
Register, Vol. 71, No. 146, July 31, 2006.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of
information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (240) 276–1243.
Project: 2008–2010 National Survey on
Drug Use and Health: Methodological
Field Tests—NEW
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
62483
(NHSDA), is a survey of the civilian,
non-institutionalized population of the
United States 12 years old and older.
The data are used to determine the
prevalence of use of tobacco products,
alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use
of prescription drugs. The results are
used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal
government agencies, and other
organizations and researchers to
establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
This will be a request for generic
approval for information collection for
NSDUH methodological field tests
designed to examine the feasibility,
quality, and efficiency of new
procedures of revisions to the existing
survey protocol. These field tests will
examine ways to increase data quality,
lower operating costs, and gain a better
understanding of various sources of
nonsampling error. If these tests provide
successful results, current procedures
may be revised and incorporated into
the main study (e.g., questionnaire
changes). Particular attention will be
given to minimizing the impact of
design changes so that survey data
continue to remain comparable over
time.
Field test activities are expected to
include improving response rates among
persons residing in controlled access
communities (locked apartment
buildings, gated communities, college
dormitories, etc.), and conducting a
nonresponse follow-up study. Cognitive
laboratory testing will be conducted
prior to the implementation of
significant questionnaire modifications.
These questionnaire modifications will
also be pre-tested and the feasibility of
text-to-speech software determined. To
understand the effectiveness of current
monetary incentive, a new incentive
study will be conducted with varying
incentive amounts. The relationship
between incentives and veracity of
reporting will also be examined. Tests
will also be designed to determine the
feasibility of alternative sample designs
and modes of data collection. Lastly, a
customer satisfaction survey of NSDUH
data users will be conducted to improve
the utility of the NSDUH data. Some of
the above studies may be combined to
introduce survey efficiencies.
The average annual burden associated
with these activities over a three-year
period is summarized below:
