Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 8, 2017 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Compared to people without mental
illness (MI), people with MI have higher
rates of cancer risk factors such as
smoking and obesity.
Many people with MI receive
outpatient mental health care at
community mental health centers
(CMHC), and some of these facilities
provide screening for cardiovascular
disease and other chronic conditions.
The extent to which cancer prevention
services are provided at CMHCs is not
understood.
This project will use online
instruments and telephone interviews
with psychiatric clinicians and
administrators at selected CMHCs across
collaboration of CMHCs with health
care providers or community health
workers/organizations to provide these
services; and (4) describe any barriers to
providing these services. Researchers
will ask respondents that provide cancer
prevention services about best practices
and lessons learned.
There will be no costs to the
respondents other than their time. To
calculate the total burden, we estimated
500 respondents for the surveys and 50
for the interviews. The average burden
will vary from 15–20 minutes for the
surveys and one hour for the interviews.
The total estimated annual burden
hours are 392.
the United States to assess the capacities
of these facilities to provide cancer
prevention services (e.g., cancer risk
factor education, cancer screening
referrals, tobacco cessation counseling)
to clients.
With a goal to achieve a final analytic
sample of at least 250 psychiatric
clinicians and 250 administrators at
CMHCs, researchers will interview a
subset of 5%-10% of each group by
telephone.
The objectives of this study are to (1)
describe the capacity of CMHCs to
provide cancer prevention services; (2)
describe any written policies and
procedures at CMHCS for providing
these services; (3) describe any

has submitted the information
collection request titled Information
Collection on Cause-Specific
Absenteeism in Schools and Evaluation
of Influenza Transmission within
Student Households to the Office of

received two comments related to the
previous notice. This notice serves to
allow an additional 30 days for public
and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this
proposed information collection project.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
that:
(a) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the
agencies estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
(d) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including, through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses; and
(e) Assess information collection
costs.

Proposed Project
Information Collection on CauseSpecific Absenteeism in Schools and
Evaluation of Influenza Transmission
within Student Households—Revision—
National Center for Emerging and
Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The CDC requests approval of a
revised information collection to
improve our understanding of the role
of influenza-like illness (ILI)-specific
absenteeism in schools in predicting
community-wide influenza transmission
and to detect within-household
transmission of influenza in households
from which a student has been absent
from school due to ILI.
This information collection request
aligns DGMQ/CDC’s mission to reduce
morbidity and mortality in mobile

populations, and to prevent the
introduction, transmission, or spread of
communicable diseases within the
United States. Insights gained from this
information collection will assist in
pandemic preparedness planning and
implementation of CDC Pre-Pandemic
Guidance on the use of school related
measures, including school closures, to
slow transmission during an influenza
pandemic.
School closures were considered an
important measure during the earliest
stage of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic,
because a pandemic vaccine was not
available until October (six months
later), and sufficient stocks to immunize
all school-age children were not
available until December. However,
retrospective review of the U.S.
government response to the pandemic
identified a limited evidence-base
regarding the effectiveness,
acceptability, and feasibility of various
school related measures during mild or
moderately severe pandemics. Guidance
updates will require an evidence-based
rationale for determining the
appropriate triggers, timing, and
duration of school related measures,
including school closures, during a
pandemic.
CDC staff proposes that the
information collection for this project
will target adult and child populations
in a school district in Wisconsin. CDC
will collect reports of individual student
symptoms, vaccination status, recent
travel, recent exposure to people with
influenza symptoms, and duration of
illness. In accordance with the revised
proposal, CDC will also collect reports
on household composition, and
influenza vaccination status; symptoms
and severity of illness; related
healthcare visits; and missed work or
school of the participating students’
household members. This information
accomplished through telephone and inperson interviews.
CDC will use findings obtained from
this information to inform and update
CDC’s Pre-pandemic Guidance on the
implementation of school related
measures to prevent the spread of
influenza, especially school closures.
Both state and local health departments
in the United States use this guidance
as an important planning and reference
tool.
CDC has enrolled in the study 651
students absent from school due to ILI
since gaining OMB approval in
December 2014, 651 students absent
from school due to ILI. Of them, 58%
were positive for at least one respiratory
pathogen included in the PCR panel that
tests for the presence of 17 common
respiratory viruses, and 27% of the
students were found to be positive for
influenza. It was demonstrated that
absenteeism due to ILI in school
children was highly correlated with
PCR-confirmed influenza in enrolled
school children (r = 0.73; P < 0.001) and
with medically-attended influenza in
the surrounding community (r = 0.72; P
< 0.001) suggesting that ILI-specific
school absenteeism can be considered a
useful tool for predicting influenza
outbreaks in the surrounding
community. However, researchers
require more observations during
influenza seasons caused by other
influenza strains to make these findings
more robust.
This revision adds a household
transmission component to the ongoing
approved information collection. In
addition to collecting data and
biospecimens from students who were
absent from school because of the ILI,
information and biospecimens will also
be collected from household members of
these students. This revision aims to
enhance current knowledge and
understanding of introduction of
influenza infection to households that
have school-age children as well as
within-household transmission.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 419.
