Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 39 / Monday, March 1, 2010 / Notices
Information System (APIS), an
authoritative compendium of State
alcohol-related laws. The APIS data will
be augmented by SAMHSA with
original legal research on State laws and
policies addressing underage drinking
to include all of the STOP Act’s
requested laws and regulations
(Category #1 of the four categories
included in the STOP Act, as described
above, page 2).
The STOP Act mandates that the State
Survey assess ‘‘best practices’’ and
emphasize the importance of building
collaborations with Federally
Recognized Tribal Governments (‘‘Tribal
Governments’’). It also emphasizes the
importance at the Federal level of
promoting interagency collaboration
and to that end established the
Interagency Coordinating Committee on
the Prevention of Underage Drinking
(ICCPUD). SAMHSA has determined
that to fulfill the Congressional intent, it
is critical that the State Survey gather
information from the States regarding
the best practices standards that they
apply to their underage drinking
programs, collaborations between States
and Tribal Governments, and the
development of State-level interagency
collaborations similar to ICCPUD.
SAMHSA has determined that data on
Categories #2, #3, and #4 mandated in
the STOP Act (as listed on page 2)
(enforcement and educational programs;
programs targeting youth, parents, and
caregivers; and State expenditures) as
well as States’ best practices standards,
collaborations with Tribal Governments,
and State-level interagency
collaborations are not available from
secondary sources and therefore must be
collected from the States themselves.
The State Survey will therefore be
necessary to fulfill the Congressional
mandate found in the STOP Act.
The State Survey is a single document
that is divided into four sections, as
follows:
(1) Enforcement of underage drinking
prevention laws;
(2) Underage drinking prevention
programs, including data on State best
practices standards and collaborations
with Tribal Governments;
(3) State interagency collaborations
used to implement the above programs;
and
(4) Estimates of the State funds
invested in the categories specified in
the STOP Act (see description of
Category #4, above, page 2) and
descriptions of any dedicated fees, taxes
or fines used to raise these funds.
The number of questions in each
Section is as follows:
Section 1: 29 questions
Section 2A: 18 questions 2
Section 2B: 6 questions 3
Section 2C: 6 questions
Section 3: 12 questions
Section 4: 19 questions
TOTAL: 90 Questions
It is anticipated that respondents will
actually respond to only a subset of this
total. This is because the survey is
designed with ‘‘skip logic,’’ which
means that many questions will only be
directed to a subset of respondents who
report the existence of particular
programs or activities.
To ensure that the State Survey
obtains the necessary data while
minimizing the burden on the States,
SAMHSA has conducted a lengthy and
comprehensive planning process. It has
sought advice from key stakeholders (as
mandated by the STOP Act) including
hosting an all-day stakeholders meeting,
conducting two field tests with State
officials likely to be responsible for
completing the State Survey, and
investigating and testing various State
Survey formats, online delivery systems,
and data collection methodologies.
Based on these investigations,
SAMHSA has decided to collect the
required data using an online survey
instrument over an 8-week period. The
State Survey will be sent to each State
Governor’s office and the Office of the
Mayor of the District of Columbia, for a
total of 51 survey respondents. Based on
the feedback received from stakeholders
and field pilot testers, it is anticipated
that the State Governors will designate
staff from State agencies that have
access to the requested data (typically
State Alcohol Beverage Control [ABC]
agencies and State Substance Abuse
Program agencies). SAMHSA will
provide both telephone and online
technical support to State agency staff
and will emphasize that the States are
only expected to provide data that is
readily available and are not required to
provide data that has not already been
collected. The burden estimate below
takes into account these assumptions.
The estimated annual response
burden to collect this information is as

2 Note that the number of questions in Sections
2A is an estimate. This Section asks States to
identify their programs that are specific to underage
drinking prevention. For each program identified
there are six follow-up questions. Based on
feedback from stakeholders and pilot testers, it is
anticipated that States will report an average of
three programs for a total of 18 questions.
3 Note that the number of questions in Section 2B
is an estimate. This Section asks States to identify
their programs that are related to underage drinking
prevention. For each program identified there are
two follow-up questions. Based on feedback from
stakeholders and pilot testers, it is anticipated that
States will report an average of three such programs
for a total of six questions.

Although a system was put in place
to track school closures in conjunction
with the Department of Education (ED),
no formal monitoring system was
established, making it difficult to
monitor reports of school dismissal and
to gauge the impact of the outbreak.
CDC has recently issued guidance for
school closure for the 2009–2010 school
year. To address the need to monitor
reports of school closure, CDC and ED
have established a School Dismissal
Monitoring System to report on novel
influenza A (H1N1)-related school or
school district dismissals in the United
States. Although the School Dismissal
Monitoring System is currently
approved to collect data under OMB
Control Number 0920–0008, Emergency
Epidemic Investigations, CDC would
like to continue the data collection long
term. Thus, CDC is requesting a separate
OMB Control Number for this data
collection.
The purpose of the School Dismissal
Monitoring System is to generate
accurate, real-time, national summary
data daily on the number of school
dismissals and the number of students
and teachers impacted by the school
dismissals. CDC will use the summary
data to fully understand how schools
are responding to CDC community
mitigation guidance among schools,
students, household contacts and for
overall awareness of the impact of
influenza outbreaks on school systems
and communities.
Respondents are schools, school
districts, and local public health
agencies. Respondents will use a
common reporting form to submit data
to CDC. The reporting form includes the
following data elements: Name of school
district; zip code of school district; date
the school or school district was
dismissed; and the date school or school
district is projected to reopen. Optional
data elements include: name of person
submitting information; the
organization/agency; phone number of
the organization/agency; and e-mail
address. There is no cost to respondents
other than their time to complete the
data collection. The total annualized
burden for this information collection
request is 42 hours.

Background and Brief Description
During the spring 2009 H1N1
outbreak, the U.S. Department of
Education (ED) and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
received numerous daily requests about
the overall number of school dismissals
nationwide including the number of
students and teachers impacted by the
outbreak. Illness among school-aged
students (K–12) in many states and
cities resulted in at least 1351 school
dismissals due to rapidly increasing
absenteeism among students or staff that
impacted at least 824,966 students and
53,217 teachers.
