AHRQ invites the public to comment on
this proposed information collection.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on August 30th 2010 and
allowed 60 days for public comment. No
comments were received. The purpose
of this notice is to allow an additional
30 days for public comment.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by December 2, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be submitted to: AHRQ’s OMB Desk
Officer by fax at (202) 395–6974
(attention: AHRQ’s desk officer) or by email at OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov
(attention: AHRQs desk officer).
Copies of the proposed collection
plans, data collection instruments, and
specific details on the estimated burden
can be obtained from the AHRQ Reports

Jkt 223001
AHRQ proposes a cross-sectional
prospective survey to identify issues
that relate to the misuse and overdosing
of over-the-counter (OTC)
acetaminophen. The survey was
developed based on results from a
previous data collection (OMB control
number 0935–0154, approved on 10/13/
2009). Acetaminophen is the most
widely used analgesic and antipyretic
drug in the U.S. When appropriately
used, it is a very safe agent. However,
a single large overdose, or several
supratherapeutic dosages in a short
period of time, has been associated with
acute liver failure, which can occur with
dosages over 250 mg/kg over a 24-hour
period, or > 12 g in an adult. Toxicity
from acetaminophen has been on the
rise in the past 3 decades, and is now
the most common cause of acute liver
failure in the U.S., surpassing viral
hepatitis.
This project has the following aims:
(1) To estimate frequency of use,
knowledge, and practices regarding use
of OTC acetaminophen, and

(2) Evaluate potential determinants of
misuse in community-based samples.
This information will be useful for
policy makers to consider and to
evaluate regulations and legislation with
respect to the distribution, dispensing
and sales of OTC acetaminophen.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, the
University of Texas. This project
supports AHRQ’s Centers for Education
and Research on Therapeutics initiative
to promote the safe and effective use of
therapeutics. See 42 U.S.C. 299b–1(b). It
also supports AHRQ’s mandate for the
inclusion of priority populations. See 42
U.S.C. 299(c).
Method of Collection
To achieve the projects’ aims the
following data collections will be
implemented:
(1) Surveys with parents of young
children (age < 8 years). The purpose of
this survey is to learn how parents
administer acetaminophen to their
children and to identify determinants of
misuse of acetaminophen;
(2) Surveys with adolescents (ages 13
to 20 years of age). The purpose of this
survey is to learn how adolescents use
acetaminophen and to identify
determinants of misuse of
acetaminophen;
(3) Surveys with adults (21 to 65 years
of age). The purpose of this survey is to
learn how adults use acetaminophen
and to identify determinants of misuse
of acetaminophen;
(4) Surveys with adults (greater than
65 years of age). The purpose of this
survey is to learn how older adults use
acetaminophen and to identify
determinants of misuse of
acetaminophen, particularly in regards
to age-related factors.
(5) Telephone screener. The telephone
screener will be used to recruit a subset
of respondents for which a contact
telephone number is available.
Data will be collected in-person using
paper questionnaires administered by
the project personnel.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for the
respondent’s time to participate in this
project. Each of the four questionnaires
used in the planned face-to-face surveys
will require approximately 30 minutes
E:\FR\FM\02NON1.SGM
02NON1
67373
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 2, 2010 / Notices
to complete. The telephone screener
will be used with a subset of 500
potential respondents, 300 of which are
expected to screen-in. The telephone
screener takes about 2 minutes to
complete. The total annualized burden
for all participants is estimated to be
417 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden for the
respondent’s time to participate in the
project. The total annualized cost
burden is estimated to be $8,716.

Proposed Project
Understanding Patients' Knowledge and Use of Acetaminophen--Phase 2
AHRQ proposes a cross-sectional prospective survey to identify
issues that relate to the misuse and overdosing of over-the-counter
(OTC) acetaminophen. The survey was developed based on results from a
previous data collection (OMB control number 0935-0154, approved on 10/

antipyretic drug in the U.S. When appropriately used, it is a very safe
agent. However, a single large overdose, or several supratherapeutic
dosages in a short period of time, has been associated with acute liver
failure, which can occur with dosages over 250 mg/kg over a 24-hour
period, or > 12 g in an adult. Toxicity from acetaminophen has been on
