Comment Request 

AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research 

and Quality, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

intention of the Agency for Healthcare 

Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request 

that the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) approve the proposed 

information collection project: 

‘‘Understanding Patients’ Knowledge 

and Use of Acetaminophen—Phase 2.’’ 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 35013520, 

AHRQ invites the public to comment on 

this proposed information collection. 

This proposed information collection 

was previously published in the Federal 

Register on August 30th 2010 and 

allowed 60 days for public comment. No 

comments were received. The purpose 

of this notice is to allow an additional 

30 days for public comment. 

DATES: Comments on this notice must be 

received by December 2, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be submitted to: AHRQ’s OMB Desk 

Officer by fax at (202) 395–6974 

(attention: AHRQ’s desk officer) or by email at OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov 

(attention: AHRQs desk officer). 

Copies of the proposed collection 

plans, data collection instruments, and 

specific details on the estimated burden 

can be obtained from the AHRQ Reports 

Clearance Officer. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Clearance Officer, (301) 427–1477, or by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Project 

Understanding Patients’ Knowledge and 

Use of Acetaminophen—Phase 2 

AHRQ proposes a cross-sectional 

prospective survey to identify issues 

that relate to the misuse and overdosing 

of over-the-counter (OTC) 

acetaminophen. The survey was 

developed based on results from a 

previous data collection (OMB control 

number 0935–0154, approved on 10/13/ 

2009). Acetaminophen is the most 

widely used analgesic and antipyretic 

drug in the U.S. When appropriately 

used, it is a very safe agent. However, 

a single large overdose, or several 

supratherapeutic dosages in a short 

period of time, has been associated with 

acute liver failure, which can occur with 

dosages over 250 mg/kg over a 24-hour 

period, or > 12 g in an adult. Toxicity 

from acetaminophen has been on the 

rise in the past 3 decades, and is now 

the most common cause of acute liver 

failure in the U.S., surpassing viral 

hepatitis. 

This project has the following aims: 

(1) To estimate frequency of use, 

knowledge, and practices regarding use 

of OTC acetaminophen, and 

(2) Evaluate potential determinants of 

misuse in community-based samples. 

This information will be useful for 

policy makers to consider and to 

evaluate regulations and legislation with 

respect to the distribution, dispensing 

and sales of OTC acetaminophen. 

This study is being conducted by 

AHRQ through its contractor, the 

University of Texas. This project 

supports AHRQ’s Centers for Education 

and Research on Therapeutics initiative 

to promote the safe and effective use of 

therapeutics. See 42 U.S.C. 299b–1(b). It 

also supports AHRQ’s mandate for the 

inclusion of priority populations. See 42 

U.S.C. 299(c). 

Method of Collection 

To achieve the projects’ aims the 

following data collections will be 

implemented: 

(1) Surveys with parents of young 

children (age < 8 years). The purpose of 

this survey is to learn how parents 

administer acetaminophen to their 

children and to identify determinants of 

misuse of acetaminophen; 

(2) Surveys with adolescents (ages 13 

to 20 years of age). The purpose of this 

survey is to learn how adolescents use 

acetaminophen and to identify 

determinants of misuse of 

acetaminophen; 

(3) Surveys with adults (21 to 65 years 

of age). The purpose of this survey is to 

learn how adults use acetaminophen 

and to identify determinants of misuse 

of acetaminophen; 

(4) Surveys with adults (greater than 

65 years of age). The purpose of this 

survey is to learn how older adults use 

acetaminophen and to identify 

determinants of misuse of 

acetaminophen, particularly in regards 

to age-related factors. 

(5) Telephone screener. The telephone 

screener will be used to recruit a subset 

of respondents for which a contact 

telephone number is available. 

Data will be collected in-person using 

paper questionnaires administered by 

the project personnel. 

Estimated Annual Respondent Burden 

Exhibit 1 shows the estimated 

annualized burden hours for the 

respondent’s time to participate in this 

project. Each of the four questionnaires 

used in the planned face-to-face surveys 

will require approximately 30 minutes 


hsrobinson on DSK69SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 2, 2010 / Notices 67373 

to complete. The telephone screener 

will be used with a subset of 500 

potential respondents, 300 of which are 

expected to screen-in. The telephone 

screener takes about 2 minutes to 

complete. The total annualized burden 

for all participants is estimated to be 

417 hours. 

Exhibit 2 shows the estimated 

annualized cost burden for the 

respondent’s time to participate in the 

project. The total annualized cost 

burden is estimated to be $8,716.
