**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. 3501–3520, AHRQ invites the public to comment on this proposed information collection.

**DATES :**  Comments on this notice must be received by October 29, 2010. **ADDRESSES :**  Written comments should be submitted to: Doris Lefkowitz,Reports Clearance Officer, AHRQ, by email at doris.lefkowitz@AHRQ.hhs.gov. 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 :**  Doris Lefkowitz, AHRQ Reports Clearance Officer, (301) 427–1477, or by e-mail at doris.lefkowitz@AHRQ.hhs.gov.

**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) To 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). 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.

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 to complete. The total annualized burden for all participants is estimated to be 400 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 $8,361.

Proposed Project

Workload Management Study of Central Cancer Registries—New— National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description

CDC currently supports the National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), a group of central cancer registries in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and 2 territories. The central cancer registries are data systems that collect, manage, and analyze data about cancer cases and cancer deaths. NPCR-funded centralcancer registries submit populationbased cancer incidence data to CDC on an annual basis (OMB No. 0920–0469, exp. 11/30/2012).

Central cancer registries report that they are chronically understaffed, and many registries are concerned about the impact of staff shortages on data quality. Staffing patterns are known to vary widely from registry to registry, and registries differ in the volume of cases that they process as well as their use of information technology. Cancer registries have asked for clear staffing guidelines based on registry characteristics such as size, degree of automation, and reporting procedures.

CDC proposes to conduct a one-time Workload and Time Management (WLM) Survey to inform the development of staffing guidelines for central cancer registries. Respondentswill be 46 cancer registrars in the NPCRfunded central cancer registries in 45 states and the District of Columbia.Participation will be requested by email. Non-responders will receive follow-up telephone calls to encourage participation.

The WLM survey includes basic questions about registry characteristics such as organizational affiliation and number of staff. The WLM also includes
