of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

systematically developing a marketing
strategy for The Safer University
Intervention, a comprehensive,
community-based environmental
prevention program with proven
efficacy in reducing intoxication and
alcohol-impaired driving among college
students.
The CDC proposes an on-line
information collection, that will take
place during the spring semester of the
2012–2013 academic year, and will
constitute a follow-up to a marketing
effort targeting a national sample of 4year colleges and universities. The
follow-up comprises a survey of key
informants from the sampled
institutions and key leaders of the
surrounding community.
The CDC will use the information
gathered from the on-line survey to: (1)
Develop and revise customized
marketing and program materials
targeting potential campus and
community stakeholders; and (2) inform
strategies for the marketing plan.
The respondents targeted for the online survey include: College
Administrators and staff, campus and
municipal police; as well as selected
community leaders. A total of up to 160
Institutions of Higher Education (IHE)
will be contacted with a maximum of 12
participants per IHE. A maximum of
1,800 respondents will be contacted by
email and asked to forward the email
and participate in the on-line survey.
Questions of a sensitive nature will not
be asked. The amount of time required
for a respondent to take part in the
survey is estimated to be less than 1
hour. We estimate a total maximum of
1,800 burden hours.

Proposed Project
Science to Practice: Developing and
Testing a Marketing Strategy for
Preventing Alcohol-related Problems in
College Communities—NEW—National
Center for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Each year, 1,700 college students die
and more than 1.4 million are injured as
a result of alcohol-related incidents.
Additionally, about 25% of students
report negative academic consequences
due to alcohol (Engs et al., 1996; Presley
et al., 1996a, 1996b; Wechsler et al.,
2002). Despite the enormous public
health burden of college-age alcohol
misuse, there have been few rigorous
evaluations of environmental strategies
to address alcohol misuse in college
settings. Environmental strategies
typically involve implementing and
enforcing policies that change the
environments that influence alcoholrelated behavior and subsequent harm.
Further, studies show that the typical
lag time between identifying effective
interventions and obtaining widespread
adoption can stretch to well over a
decade. Given the number of students
harmed, there is an urgent need to
develop more efficient and timely
strategies for moving effective science to
widespread practice. This project will
address this exact issue by

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), Department of Health
and Human Services, is publishing the
following summary of proposed
collections for public comment.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the Agency’s function;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.

Request: New collection (request for a
new OMB control number). Title of

Community-Based Service (HCBS)

one-time pilot field test involving
individuals who receive HCBS from
Medicaid programs. The field test will

methodology—to determine how well a
face-to-face survey and telephone
survey performs with individuals who
receive HCBS services; (b) Psychometric
Analysis—to provide information for
the revision and shortening of the
survey based on the assessment of the
reliability and construct validity of
survey items and composites; and (c)
Case mix adjustment analysis—to assess
the variables that may be considered as
case mix adjusters. These preliminary
research activities are not required by
regulation, and will not be used by CMS
to regulate or sanction its customers.
They will be entirely voluntary and the
confidentiality of respondents and their
responses will be preserved.
The information collected will be
used to revise and test the survey
instrument described in the Background
section of the PRA package’s Supporting
Statement. Within the PRA package,
Attachment B includes two versions of
the survey (one modified for
accessibility) and Attachment C has the
introductory information. The end
result will be an improvement in
information collection instruments and
in the quality of data collected, a
reduction or minimization of
respondent burden, increased agency
efficiency, and improved
responsiveness to the public. Following
the field test, CMS will seek approval
from the CAHPS consortium for the
HCBS Experience Survey to be a new
addition to the CAHPS® family of
surveys. Form Number: CMS–10389
