certain personal respiratory protection

information subject to the terms of any
authorization issued under 21 U.S.C
360bbb–3(a). This renewal was made on
the basis of the April 26, 2009
determination by then Acting Secretary
Charles E. Johnson, pursuant to section
319 of the Public Health Service Act, 42
U.S.C. 247d, that a public health
emergency exists nationwide involving
Swine Influenza A (now called 2009
H1N1 Influenza) that affects or has
significant potential to affect national
security, a determination which was
renewed on July 24, 2009, October 1,
2009, December 28, 2009 and March 26,
2010 because 2009 H1N1 flu outbreak
remains a public health threat and the
Department should use all available
tools to ensure that the nation is
prepared. The renewal of this April 27,
2009 declaration was made pursuant to
section 564(b) of the Federal Food, Drug
and Cosmetic Act, 21 U.S.C. 360bbb–
3(b). In renewing this declaration, the
Secretary further specified that the
declaration is a declaration of

Readiness and Emergency Preparedness
Act for Influenza Diagnostics, Personal

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: Multiplier Surveys—

intended to support the SAMHSA
vision of a life in the community for
everyone, and its strategic goals of

effectiveness, there has been little
systematic investigation of the longrange impact of different categories of
discretionary programs. The Multiplier
Surveys will inform SAMHSA policy
and budget development by determining
which types of investments are most
appropriate for achieving different
policy objectives, including
sustainability of the program or its
intended outcomes after Federal
funding ends. It also seeks to determine
which program types or factors are best
at achieving certain objectives after the
conclusion of Federal funding, such as
capacity improvement, system change,
sustainability and influence on other
programs. Findings will be used to make
recommendations to SAMHSA
management to better inform policy and
budget development and to determine
which types of investments are most
appropriate for achieving different
policy objectives.
To achieve the goals of the Multiplier
Surveys four programs have been
chosen from each of SAMHSA’s three
Centers. Four Project Directors from
each of the 12 programs (48 respondents
in all), whose Federal funding ended no
later than September 30, 2008 will be
interviewed by telephone to determine
how the project was sustained after
Federal funding ended and what factors
contributed to its sustainability.
In addition, all grantees from each of
the 12 selected programs meeting
inclusion criteria will be invited via email to complete a short on-line survey
about their project and how/if it was
sustained after Federal funding ended.
A 20 percent response rate or about 100
respondents to the on-line survey is
expected.

project’s purpose is to provide
information for this Report to Congress.
Due to substantial legislative and
regulatory delays in program
implementation, the Report to Congress
in 2011 will be released just as the
program is being implemented, and
before the evaluation is complete. This
project will continue after the Report to
Congress, to evaluate the impact of the
program on beneficiaries, on Medicare
costs, and on changes in the Medicare
Durable Medical Equipment,
Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies
(DMEPOS) market.
In response to public comments
received on the 60-day notice that
published on December 18, 2009 (74 FR
67227), we have made several revisions
to this information collection request.
Most notably, the revisions include but
are not limited to revised burden
calculations due to an increase in the
number of respondents and the addition
of another data collection wave. Form
