Need and Use of Information
Collection: This is a request for a
revision to a generic clearance used for
submissions specific to the Eunice
Kennedy Shriver National Institute of
Child Health and Human Development
(NICHD) Safe to Sleep® (STS) public
education campaign. Submissions for
the STS campaign will be used to assess
the understanding and reach of STS
campaign materials and messages, and
to monitor and improve campaign
activities such as training workshops
and overall implementation. The
purpose of this information collection is
to monitor and modify campaign
activities, to plan future campaign
activities, to develop messages and
materials, and to develop distribution
and outreach strategies that are effective
(5) inform and/or change practices and
behaviors of program participants.
Examples of the types of information
collections that could be included under
this generic clearance include: Focus
groups and key informant interviews
with parents/caregivers and/or health
professionals to get feedback on
distribution and outreach activities,
and/or campaign messages; and Surveys
with parents/caregivers and/or health
professionals to: (1) Assess the
usefulness of the new STS campaign
materials, including print and on-line
multi-media materials, (2) track
outreach experiences of program
participants, (3) assess training
participants’ changes in knowledge
related to safe infant sleep behavior and
implementation of learned outreach and
education methods, and (4) assess
program participants’ resource needs.
The sub-studies for this generic
clearance will be small in scale,
designed to obtain results frequently
and quickly to guide campaign
development and implementation,
inform campaign direction, and be used
internally for campaign management
purposes. NICHD’s current scope and
capacity for STS generic sub-studies is
non-existent and this request would fill
this gap.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
13,305.
at communicating their message to bring
about the intended response, awareness,
and/or behavioral change for the target
audiences. This generic clearance will
enable the NICHD to: (1) More
efficiently assess the implementation of
campaign activities; (2) better
understand the target audiences’
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs toward
STS messages and materials; (3) better
understand how the campaign activities
have influenced the target audiences’
behaviors and practices; and (4) monitor
and improve activities such as trainings,
materials, and messages. Having a way
to gather feedback on the STS campaign
activities is critical to assessing the
reach and effect of campaign efforts.
Data collected for the campaign can
inform where future STS campaign
resources can produce the most
meaningful results.
Data collected for the STS campaign
generic clearance will be used by a
number of audiences, including STS
campaign staff, NICHD leadership, STS
campaign collaborators, Federal SUID/
SIDS Workgroup members, SUID/SIDS
stakeholders, clinical and maternal and
child health professionals. These
audiences may use the information
collections to: (1) Develop new
campaign messages, materials, and/or
training curricula; (2) monitor and
improve campaign activities; (3) make
decisions about campaign activities; (4)
inform current campaign activities; and

Proposed Project: Networking Suicide
Prevention Hotlines—Evaluation of
Imminent Risk (OMB No. 0930–0333)—
REVISION
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services 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. This project is a
revision of the Evaluation of Imminent
Risk and 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)]. The
extension data collection is an effort to
advance the understanding of crisis
hotline utilization and its impact.
The overarching purpose of the
proposed Evaluation of Imminent Risk
data collection is to evaluate hotline
counselors’ management of imminent
risk callers and third party callers
concerned about persons at imminent
risk, assess counselor adherence to the
Lifeline Policies and Guidelines for
Helping Callers at Imminent Risk of
Suicide, and identify the types of
interventions implemented with
imminent risk callers. Specifically, the
Evaluation of Imminent Risk will collect
data, using the Imminent Risk Form, to
inform the network’s knowledge of the
extent to which counselors are aware of
and being guided by Lifeline’s imminent
risk guidelines; counselors’ definitions
of imminent risk; the rates of active
rescue of imminent risk callers; the
types of rescue and non-rescue
interventions used; barriers to
intervention; and the circumstances in
which active rescue is initiated,
including the caller’s agreement to
receive the intervention. To capture
differences across centers, the form also
collects information on counselors’
employment status and hours worked/
volunteered, level of education, license
status, training status, source of safety
planning protocols, and responsibility
for follow up.
Clearance is being requested for the
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, the types of
interventions used, and, ultimately,
improve the delivery of crisis hotline
services to imminent risk callers. A total
of nine centers will participate in this
evaluation. Thus, SAMHSA is
requesting OMB review and approval of
the Imminent Risk Form.
Crisis counselors at nine 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
anonymity. Participating counselors
will be asked to complete the form for
100% of their imminent risk calls. At
centers with high call volumes, data
collection may be limited to designated
shifts. The Imminent Risk Form
contains minor changes from the earlier
data collection with revised options of
either receiving emergency department
80125
services or crisis stabilization centers
services while the caller was
determined to be at imminent risk for
suicide. The prior option was for the
emergency department or hospital
services. This form requests information
in 15 content areas, each with multiple
sub-items and response options.
Response options include open-ended,
yes/no, Likert-type ratings, and multiple
choice/check all that apply. The form
also requests demographic information
on the caller, the identification of the
center and counselor submitting the
form, and the date of the call.
Specifically, the form is divided into the
following sections: (1) Counselor
information, (2) center information, (3)
call characteristics (e.g., line called,
language spoken, participation of third
party), (4) suicidal desire, (5) suicidal
intent, (6) suicidal capability, (7) buffers
to suicide, (8) interventions agreed to by
caller or implemented by counselor
without caller’s consent, (9) whether
imminent risk was reduced enough such
that active rescue was not needed, (10)
interventions for third party callers
calling about a person at imminent risk,
(11) whether supervisory consultation
occurred during or after the call, (12)
barriers to getting needed help to the
person at imminent risk, (13) steps
taken to confirm whether emergency
contact was made with person at risk,
(14) outcome of attempts to rescue
person at risk, and (15) outcome of
attempts to follow-up on the case. The
form also includes an Additional
Counselor Training section that
counselors complete only when
applicable. The form will take
approximately 15 minutes to complete
and will be completed by the counselor
after the call. It is expected that a total
of 440 forms will be completed by 116
counselors over the two-year data
collection period.
The estimated response burden to
collect this information is annualized
over the requested two-year clearance
period and is presented below:

FEMA
Emergency Non-Congregate Sheltering
during the COVID–19 Public Health
Emergency (Interim) FP 104–009–18.
This policy defines the framework,
policy details, and requirements for
determining eligible work and costs for
sheltering in response to declarations as
defined in the Robert T. Stafford Act for
PA or the Fire Management Assistance
Grant (FMAG) programs. FEMA
provides Public Assistance (PA) funding
to state, tribal, and territorial (STT)
governments (aka PA Applicants) for
costs related to emergency sheltering for
survivors. Typically, sheltering occurs
in facilities with large open spaces, such
as schools, churches, community
centers, armories, or other similar
facilities rather than in non-congregate
environments, which are locations
where each individual or household has
living space that offers some level of
privacy (e.g., hotels, motels, casinos,
dormitories, retreat camps, etc.).
However, FEMA recognizes that
sheltering operations during the
COVID–19 Public Health Emergency
may require STT’s to consider
additional strategies to ensure that
survivors are sheltered in a manner that
does not increase the risk of exposure to
or further transmission of COVID–19.
FEMA will provide flexibility to STTs to
take measures to safely conduct noncongregate sheltering activities. FEMA
will encourage STTs operating noncongregate shelters to collect basic
shelter resident data. If there is a
subsequent Major Disaster Declaration
that includes the Individual Assistance
(IA) program, FEMA and STTs may
begin a bi-lateral exchange of data to
coordinate and expedite assistance to
shelter residents. This data exchange
will enable FEMA to share additional
disaster survivor data on losses and
needs to STT shelter managers
facilitating a coordinated effort to
provide resources to shelter residents.
This data also provides STTs increased
ability for shelter planning and shelter
population management.
