SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

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. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 

44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) 

and includes agency request or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies 

to provide a 60-day notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, AoA is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following collection 

of information, AoA invites comments 

on: (1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of AoA’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of

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.
