SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
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 submissions of responses;
5. Assess information collection costs.

Revision—National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, ‘‘shall collect
statistics on health resources . . . [And]
utilization of health care, including
extended care facilities, and other
institutions.’’
NCHS seeks approval to collect data
for the residential care community
(RCC) and adult day services center
(ADSC) survey components of the fourth
wave of the National Study of LongTerm Care Providers (NSLTCP). The
request is for one-year clearance.
As background, here are some details
on the complete study design. NSLTCP
voluntary survey designed to: (1)
Broaden NCHS’ ongoing coverage of
paid and regulated long-term care (LTC)
providers; (2) merge with existing
administrative data on LTC providers
and service users (i.e., Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
data on nursing homes and residents,
home health agencies and patients, and
hospices and patients); (3) update data
more frequently on LTC providers and
service users for which nationally
representative administrative data do
not exist; and (4) enable comparisons
across LTC sectors and timely
monitoring of supply, use, and
characteristics of these sectors over
time.
CDC will collect data collected from
two types of LTC providers in the 50
states and the District of Columbia:
2,090 RCCs and 1,650 ADSCs. Data
collected in 2012, 2014, and 2016 and
the data collected in 2018 will include
the basic characteristics, services,
staffing, and practices of RCCs and
ADSCs, and demographics, selected
health conditions and health care
utilization, physical functioning, and
cognitive functioning of RCC residents
and ADSC participants. The 2018 wave
will include services user
questionnaires.
Expected users of data from this
collection effort include, but not limited
to CDC and other Department of Health
and Human Services (DHHS) agencies.
Other potential users include the
following: Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation;
the Administration for Community
Living; and the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality; associations, such
as LeadingAge, National Center for

Assisted Living, American Seniors
Housing Association, Argentum
(formerly Assisted Living Federation of
America), National Adult Day Services
Association; universities; foundations;
and other private sector organizations
such as the Alzheimer’s Association and
the AARP Public Policy Institute.
Expected burden from data collection
for eligible cases is 80 minutes per
respondent: 5 minutes for a contact
confirmation call; 15 minutes for a
screener and appointment setting call;
30 minutes for a provider questionnaire;
and 30 minutes for a sampling and
services user questionnaire. We estimate
an eligibility rate for ADSCs of 86% and
for RCCs of 76%. One-year clearance
requested to cover the collection of data.

Background and Brief Description
Overdose deaths involving
prescription opioids and heroin have
reached epidemic levels in the U.S. and
continue to rise. To address the
prescription drug/opioid overdose
crisis, the federal government has
recently allocated funding to improve
access to treatment for opioid use
disorders, reduce opioid related deaths,
and strengthen prevention efforts. One
program resulting from the federal
government’s efforts to address the
opioid crisis is the Substance Abuse and
Mental Health Services Agency
(SAMHSA) Grants to Prevent
Prescription Drug/Opioid OverdoseRelated Deaths. This proposed
information collection project will help
evaluate this program.
Through this program, SAMHSA
awarded funding to 12 states. The
funding is aimed at reducing the
number of prescription drug/opioid
overdose-related deaths and adverse
events among individuals 18 years of
