Proposed Project
NCEH/ATSDR Exposure
Investigations (EI) [OMB NO: 0923–
0040]—Revision—The National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR).
Background and Brief Description
This is a brief summary of a joint
clearance between the NCEH and
ATSDR, (hereafter ATSDR will
represent both ATSDR and NCEH).
ATSDR is mandated pursuant to the
1980 Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) and its 1986
Amendments, the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act
(SARA) to prevent or mitigate adverse
human health effects and diminished
quality of life resulting from the
exposure to hazardous substances in the
environment. EIs are an approach
developed by ATSDR that employs
targeted biologic (e.g., urine, blood, hair
samples) and environmental (e.g., air,
water, soil, or food) sampling to
determine whether people are or have
been exposed to unusual levels of
pollutants at specific locations (e.g.,
where people live, spend leisure time,
or anywhere they might come into
contact with contaminants under
investigation). After a chemical release
or suspected release into the
environment, ATSDR’s EIs are used by
public health professionals,
environmental risk managers, and other
decision makers to determine if current
conditions warrant intervention
strategies to minimize or eliminate
human exposure. EIs are usually
requested by officials of a state health
agency, county health departments, the
Environmental Protection Agency, the
general public, and ATSDR staff.
ATSDR has been conducting EIs since
1995 throughout the United States and
seeks revision approved of the currently
approval ICR. All of ATSDR’s
biomedical assessments and some of the
environmental investigations involve
participants. Participation is completely
voluntary. To assist in interpreting the
sampling results, a survey questionnaire
appropriate to the specific contaminant
is administered to participants. ATSDR
collects contact information (e.g., name,
address, phone number) to provide the
participant with their individual results.
Name and address information are
broken into nine separate questions
(data fields) for computer entry. General
information, which includes height,
weight, age, race, gender, etc., is also
collected primarily on biomedical
investigations to assist with results
interpretation. General information can
account for approximately 28 questions
per investigation, out of a set of 57
general information questions. Some of
this information is investigationspecific; not all of this data is collected
for every investigation.

ATSDR also collects information on
other possible confounding sources of
chemical(s) exposure such as medicines
taken, foods eaten, hobbies, jobs, etc. In
addition, ATSDR asks questions on
recreational or occupational activities
that could increase a participant’s
exposure potential. That information
represents an individual’s exposure
history. To cover those broad categories,
ATSDR is seeking approval for the use
of sets of topical questions. Of these, we
use approximately 12–15 questions
about the pertinent environmental
exposures per investigation. This
number can vary depending on the
number of chemicals being investigated,
the route of exposure (e.g., breathing,
eating, touching), and number of other
sources of the chemical(s) (e.g., products
used, jobs).
Data management procedures have
not changed since the previous
approved information collection and the
instrument does not have extensive
revisions. Only minor non-substantive
changes were made to the Library of
Chemical Exposure Questions by
dividing one question into two; to
clarify, specify and better generate the
information needed.
Typically, the number of participants
in an individual EI ranges from 10 to
less than 50. Questionnaires are
generally needed in less than half of the
EIs (approximately 10–15 per year).
The subject matter for the complete
set of topical questions includes the
following:
(1) Media specific which includes: air
(indoor/outdoor); water (water source
and plumbing); soil, and food
(gardening, fish, game, domestic
animals (e.g., chickens).
(2) Other sources such as:
occupations; hobbies; household
chemical uses and house construction
characteristics; lifestyle (e.g., smoking);
medicines and/or health conditions, and
foods.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 375.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 concerning
opportunity for public comment on
proposed collections of information, the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA)
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
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 or
other forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: 2010 National Mental
Health Services Survey (N–MHSS)
(OMB No. 0930–0119)—Revision
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration’s
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS) will conduct the 2010
N–MHSS. This national survey will
update the previous biennial mental
health facility survey conducted in
2008—the National Survey of Mental
Health Treatment Facilities (NSMHTF)
under OMB No. 0930–0119. Similar in
design to the 2008 NSMHTF, the 2010
N–MHSS will survey all mental health
service locations, instead of surveying
each mental health organization as a
whole. These separate mental health
service locations (facilities) are in
contrast to mental health organizations
which may include multiple facilities
(service locations). This survey will be
(a) A 100-percent enumeration of all
known facilities nationwide that
specialize in mental health treatment
services, (b) more consumer-oriented in
describing services available at each
facility location, and (c) patterned after
SAMHSA’s Office of Applied Studies
National Survey of Substance Abuse
Treatment Services (OMB No. 0930–
0106).
The 2010 N–MHSS will utilize one
questionnaire for all mental health
facility types including hospitals,
residential treatment centers, outpatient
clinics, and multi-setting facilities. The
information collected will include:
intake telephone numbers for services,
types of services offered, sources of
payment for services, facility caseload
characteristics, and facility bed counts,
if applicable. This survey will use a
multi-mode approach to data
collection—mail and Web with
telephone follow-up.
The resulting database will be used to
provide both State and national
estimates of facility types and their
patient caseloads. Information from the
2010 survey will also be used to update
SAMHSA’s online Mental Health
Facility Locator for use by consumers.
In addition, data derived from the
survey will be published by CMHS in
SAMHSA publications such as Mental
Health, United States and in
professional journals such as Psychiatric
Services and the American Journal of
Psychiatry. The publication, Mental
Health, United States, is used by the
general public, State governments, the
U.S. Congress, university researchers,
mental health service providers, and
mental health care professionals. The
following Table summarizes the
estimated response burden for the
survey.
