Proposed Collection; Comment

Request; Miniaturized Wearable

Transdermal Alcohol Monitor

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

for opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects, the

National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and

Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) will publish

periodic summaries of proposed

projects to be submitted to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval.

PROPOSED COLLECTION: Title:

Miniaturized Wearable Transdermal

Alcohol Monitor. Type of Information

Collection Request: New. Need and Use

of Information Collection: This Small

Business Innovation Research two-year

study is designed to complete the

development and clinical testing of a

miniaturized wearable Transdermal

Alcohol Sensor/Recorder (TAS) that is

ready for evaluation in various medical

and forensic markets. The overall goal of

the project is to refine the specifications

of Giner, Inc.’s prototype TAS for

miniaturization and to improve

wearability for extended periods of time

on the wrist or upper arm, maintaining

all of the functionality of the current

device. Testing on adult volunteers

while they are consuming alcohol will

determine wearability, performance,

reliability, and reproducibility of the

TAS in both clinical and normal living/

working conditions. The subjects in two

small clinical studies will be asked to

keep a daily log of activities, including

eating and drinking, while they are

wearing the TAS for up 14 days. At the

conclusion of the experiment, they will

be interviewed about their drinking

during the test period using the Time

Line Followback (TLFB), a standard

clinical interview instrument. A relative

of each subject (collateral) will also be

interviewed to corroborate the subjects’

drinking record. A small sample of

alcoholics will wear the TAS for 24

hours, while undergoing detoxification

treatment under a physician’s care, to

evaluate the TAS response to high blood

alcohol levels. They will be interviewed

about their drinking in the past week

using the TLFB. The findings of the

studies will be used by the contractor to

validate the performance of the redesigned TAS in different settings

where monitoring of alcohol ingestion is

desirable. Frequency of Response: Once,

twice, or daily for 14 days. Affected

Public: Individuals. Type of

Respondents: Alcoholics, social

drinkers, collaterals (ages 21–65). The

annual reporting burden is as follows:

YEAR 1

Total .......................................................................................................... ........................ ........................ ........................ 112

There are no costs to Respondents to

report. Social drinker respondents who

consume alcohol in controlled settings,

wear the TAS, and keep daily log are

paid $100–$150 for their participation.

There are no Capital Costs to report.

There are no Operating or Maintenance

Costs to report.

Request for Comments: Written

comments and/or suggestions from the

public and affected agencies are invited

on one or more of the following points:

(1) Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the function of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(2) The accuracy of the agency’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 those who

are to respond, including the use of

appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology.

project or to obtain a copy of the data

collection plans and instruments,
