intended to support clinical quality
management, performance
measurement, service delivery, and
client monitoring at the system and
client levels. The reporting system
consists of an online data form—the
Grantee Report—and a data file
containing the client-level data
elements. Data will be submitted every
six months. The Grantee Report
includes information about program
administration, funding, and
expenditures, in addition to the
medication formulary. The client-level
data include demographic, clinical,
enrollment, and service data for each
patient who is determined eligible and
enrolled in the ADAP.
The legislation specifies grantee
accountability and links budget to
performance. The ADR will be used to
ensure compliance with the
requirements of the legislation, to
evaluate the progress of programs, to
monitor grantee performance, to
measure the Government Performance
and Results Act (GPRA) and the
Performance Assessment Rating Tool
(PART) goals, and to meet reporting
responsibilities to the Department,
Congress, and OMB.
In addition to meeting the goal of
accountability to Congress, clients,
advocacy groups, and the general
public, information collected through
the ADR is critical to HRSA and
grantees for assessing the status of
existing HIV-related service delivery
systems, investigating trends in service
utilization, and identifying the areas of
greatest need.
Discussions were held with nine
volunteer grantee agencies representing
a variety of ADAP models, as a basis for
the burden estimates for the ADR that
follows. These burden estimates are
presented in two tables. The first table
represents the estimated burden for the

first year, including the estimated time
to adjust existing or develop new data
collection systems to collect the
elements that HRSA is requesting. This
is a one-time burden for grantees and
will not be a factor after the first year.
The second table represents the
estimated burden for subsequent years.
The Grantee Report burden remains
unchanged across the three years of the
information collection, as the
submission is consistent with current
reporting requirements. The Client
Report burden is expected to decrease
slightly in subsequent years as grantees
become more proficient with reporting
client-level data, based on feedback and
technical assistance resources that
HRSA will provide.

Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement
Summary: In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act, the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), an
agency of the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), is issuing this
notice to advise the public that an
environmental impact statement will be
prepared for the NIH Animal Center at
Poolesville Master Plan, Poolesville,
Montgomery County, Maryland.

Supplementary Information: The NIH
Animal Center is located on 513 acres
4 miles southwest of the City of
Poolesville, a small agricultural
community located in western
Maryland. The campus is a component
of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH), one of the world’s largest
biomedical research facilities and the
Federal government’s focal point for
medical and behavioral research. The
NIH Animal Center at Poolesville is a
major extension of animal holding and
production facilities at Bethesda and
consists of a number of buildings used
to house, quarantine, and study the

behavior and immunological conduct of
a variety of animal models. The NIH
Animal Center at Poolesville conducts
and supports research protocols for
various Institutes and Centers, which
includes the studies of animal behavior,
conduct of immunologic procedures and
sampling, and surgical investigation.
Total building space on the campus
amounts to approximately 364,507 gsf.
Approximately 199 people work at the
NIH Animal Center site.
A Master Plan is an integrated series
of documents that present in graphic,
narrative, and tabular form the current
composition of NIH campuses and the
plan for their orderly and
comprehensive development over a 20year period. The plan provides guidance
in coordinating the physical
development of NIH campuses,
including building locations, utility
capacities, road alignments, parking
facilities, and the treatment of open
spaces. General design guidelines are
also used to provide detailed guidance
for the placement and design of physical
improvements.
The proposed action is to develop a
long-range physical master plan for the
NIH Animal Center. The plan will cover
a 20-year planning period and address
the future development of the NIH
Animal Center site, including placement
of future construction; vehicular and
pedestrian circulation on- and offcampus; parking within the property
boundaries; open space in and around
the campus; required setbacks; historic
properties; natural and scenic resources;
noise; and lighting. The plan will
examine potential growth in the NIH
Animal Center personnel, and
consequent construction of space over
the planning period. Future
construction on the site could include
such facilities as: new animal holding,
research laboratories, and support
facilities.
In accordance with 40 CFR 1500–1508
and DHHS environmental procedures,
NIH will prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed
master plan. The EIS will evaluate the
impacts of the master plan should
development occur as proposed. Among
the items the EIS will examine are the
implications of the master plan on
community infrastructure, including,
but not limited to, utilities, storm water
management, traffic and transportation,
and other public services.
To ensure that the public is afforded
the greatest opportunity to participate in
the planning and environmental review
process, the NIH is inviting oral and
written comments on the master plan
and related environmental issues.

at the Town Hall Building at 19721
Beall Street, Poolesville, Maryland
20837. All interested parties are
encouraged to attend. The NIH has
established a 30-day public comment
period for the scoping process. Scoping
comments must be postmarked no later
than November 18, 2011 to ensure they
are considered. All comments and
questions on the EIS should be directed

Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and

information collection requests under
OMB review, in compliance with the

Project: Networking Suicide Prevention
Hotlines—Evaluation of the Lifeline
Policies for Helping Callers at
Imminent Risk (NEW)
This proposed project is a new data
collection that builds on previously
approved data collection activities
[Evaluation of Networking Suicide
Prevention Hotlines Follow–Up
Assessment (OMB No. 0930–0274) and
Call Monitoring of National Suicide
Prevention Lifeline Form (OMB No.
0930–0275)]. This new data collection is
an effort to advance the understanding
of crisis hotline utilization and its
impact. The Substance Abuse and

Administration’s (SAMHSA), Center for

Mental Health Services (CMHS) funds a
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
Network (‘‘Lifeline’’), consisting of a
toll-free telephone number that routes
calls from anywhere in the United
States to a network of local crisis
centers. In turn, the local centers link
callers to local emergency, mental
health, and social service resources.
The overarching purpose of the
proposed Evaluation of the Lifeline
Policies for Helping Callers at Imminent
Risk is to implement data collection to
evaluate hotline counselors’
management of imminent risk callers
and third party callers concerned about
persons at imminent risk, and counselor
adherence to Lifeline Policies and
Guidelines for Helping Callers at
Imminent Risk of Suicide. Specifically,
the Evaluation of the Lifeline Policies
for Helping Callers at Imminent Risk
will collect data, using an imminent risk
form, to inform the network’s
knowledge of the extent to which
counselors are aware of and being
guided by the Lifeline’s imminent risk
guidelines; counselors’ definitions of
imminent risk; the rates of active rescue
of imminent risk callers; types of rescue;
barriers to intervention; and the
circumstances in which active rescue is
initiated, including the caller’s
agreement to receive the intervention.
Clearance is being requested for one
activity to assess the knowledge,
actions, and practices of counselors to
aid callers who are determined to be at
imminent risk for suicide and who may
require active rescue. This evaluation
will allow researchers to examine and
understand the actions taken by
counselors to aid imminent risk callers,
the need for active rescue, and,
ultimately, to improve the delivery of
crisis hotline services to imminent risk
callers. A total of eight centers will
participate in this evaluation. Thus,
SAMHSA is requesting OMB review and
approval of the National Suicide
Prevention Lifeline—Imminent Risk
Form. This activity is distinct from the
Crisis Center Survey data collection,
which targets the entire network of
crisis centers and focuses on a different
domain of questions (specifically, the
makeup, strengths, and needs of crisis
centers.) The information gathered from
the Crisis Center Survey cannot provide
a profile of imminent risk callers or
details about interventions with
imminent risk or third party callers.
Crisis counselors at eight participating
centers will record information
discussed with imminent risk callers on
the Imminent Risk Form, which does
not require direct data collection from
callers. As with previously approved
evaluations, callers will maintain
