AoA’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

The Certification on Maintenance of 

Effort under Title III and Certification of 

Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program 

Expenditures provides statutorily 

required information regarding State’s 

contribution to programs funded under 

the Older Americans Act and 

conformance with legislative 

requirements, pertinent Federal 

regulations and other applicable 

instructions and guidelines issued by 

Administration on Aging (AoA). This 

information will be used for Federal 

oversight of Title III Programs and Title 

VII Ombudsman Program expenditures. 

AoA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 56 

State Agencies on Aging respond 

annually which should be an average 

burden of one half (1⁄2) hour per State 

agency per year or a total of twentyeight hours for all State agencies 

annually. The proposed data collection 

tools may be found on the AoA Web site 

for review at http://www.aoa.gov/

Proposed Project 

The National Survey of Prison 

Healthcare (NSPH) — New—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 the extent and nature of 

illness and disability of the population 

of the United States. This three-year 

clearance request includes data 

collection from identified respondents 

at the Department of Corrections within 

each state in the United States and the 

Federal Bureau of Prisons. 

Few national level data exist 

concerning the administration of health 

care services in correctional facilities in 

the United States. National-level data 

from the health care providers within 

prison systems are important for a 

myriad of purposes related to improving 

prison health and health care. To 

remedy this gap in knowledge regarding 

the capacity of prison facilities to 

deliver medical and mental health 

services, NCHS in partnership with the 

Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) plans 

to conduct the National Survey of 

Prison Healthcare (NSPH). This 

collection aims to: provide an overall 

picture of the global structure of 

healthcare services in prisons in the 

United States; close gaps in available 

information about availability, location 

and capacity of healthcare services 

provided to inmates; and identify extent 

to which electronic medical records are 

utilized within the correctional 

healthcare system. 

NSPH will be a mail survey to a 

prison official in the Department of 

Corrections (DOC) within each of the 50 

States and Federal Bureau of Prisons 

(BOP) and will seek facility-level 

information on the types of healthcare 

services delivered and the mechanisms 

used to deliver these services. Following 

a small pilot test of the questionnaire 

with 9 prison officials, NSPH will be 

administered in Fall 2011. 

NSPH will collect data on healthcare 

services including the extent to which 

services are contracted; staffing; 

locations (i.e., on- or off-site) of 

healthcare services and specialty 

healthcare services; and the types of 

medical, dental, mental health, and 

pharmaceutical services provided to 

inmates. NSPH will collect data on 

intake physical and mental health 

assessments practices for inmates; 

credentials of staff performing 

screenings; vaccinations against major 

infectious diseases; and smoking 

allowances. Discharge planning data 

collected includes the availability of 

bridge medications, Medicaid reenrollment processes, and the number 

of inmates with mental illness linked to 

housing prior to release. NSPH will also 

collect data on how DOCs maintain 

health records including the format 

(paper and/or electronic) of specific 

types of health records. 

Potential users of the data collected 

through NSPH are policy makers, 

correctional healthcare researchers, 

mental health researchers, and 

corrections administrators. Valid and 

current data on infrastructure, capacity 

and utilization of healthcare are 

essential to supporting research and 

studying the effects of changes in 

correctional healthcare. Other potential 

users of these data include universities, 

research organizations, many in the 

private sector, foundations, and a 

variety of users in the print media. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Control and Prevention (CDC) serves as 

the World Trade Center (WTC) Program 

Administrator for certain functions 

related to the WTC Health Program 

established by the James Zadroga 9/11 

Health and Compensation Act (Pub. L. 

111–347). In accordance with Section 

3312(a)(5)(A) of that Act, the WTC 

Program Administrator is conducting a 

review of all available scientific and 

medical evidence to determine if, based 

on the scientific evidence, cancer or a 

certain type of cancer should be added 

to the applicable list of health 

conditions covered by the World Trade 

Center Health Program. 

The WTC Program Administrator is 

requesting information on the following: 

(1) Relevant reports, publications, and 

case information of scientific and 

medical findings where exposure to 

airborne toxins, any other hazard, or any 

other adverse condition resulting from 

the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, 

is substantially likely to be a significant 

factor in aggravating, contributing to, or 

causing cancer or a type of cancer; (2) 

clinical findings from the Clinical 

Centers of Excellence providing 

monitoring and treatment services to 

WTC responders (i.e., those persons 

who performed rescue, recovery, cleanup and remediation work on the WTC 

disaster sites) and community members 

directly exposed to the dust cloud, gases 

and vapors on 9/11/01 and those living 

and working in the affected area; and (3) 

input on the scientific criteria to be used 

by experts to evaluate the weight of the 

medical and scientific evidence 

regarding such potential health 

conditions.

Year State Plan. 

Description 

A Plan developed by the State 

Council on Developmental Disabilities 

is required by Federal statute. Each 

State Council on Developmental 

Disabilities must develop the plan, 

provide for public comments in the 

State, provide for approval by the State’s 

Governor, and finally submit the plan 

on a five-year basis. On an annual basis, 

the Council must review the plan and 

make any amendments. The State Plan 

will be used (1) by the Council as a 

planning document; (2) by the citizenry 

of the State as a mechanism for 

commenting on the plans of the 

Council; and (3) by the Department as 

a stewardship tool, for ensuring 

compliance with the Developmental 

Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights 

Act, as one basis for providing technical 

assistance (e.g., during site visits), and
