National Institutes of Health

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request; ‘‘Screen for

Alcohol Problems in the Elderly’’ Study

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, the National

Institute on Alcohol Abuse and

Alcoholism (NIAAA), National

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) a request to review and approve

the information collection listed below.

This proposed information collection

was previously in the Federal Register

on February 27, 1996, and allowed 60

days for public comment. There were

seven (7) requests for additional

information about this data collection

activity, but no public comments were

received. The purpose of this notice is

to allow an additional 30 days for public

comment.

The NIH may not conduct or sponsor,

and the respondent is not required to

respond to, an information collection

that has been extended, revised, or

implemented on or after September 28,

1997, unless it displays a currently valid

OMB control number.

PROPOSED COLLECTION: Title: Screening

for Alcohol Problems in the Elderly.

Type of Information Collection request:

NEW. Need and Use of Information

Collection: The information proposed

for collection will be used by the

NIAAA to develop an alcohol problem

screening instrument suitable for use

with the population age 65 and over and

that can be administered in health care

settings. The prevalence of alcohol

problems among older persons is not

well established. The instruments used

for assessment are often not sensitive to

alcohol abuse and dependence in this

population, and many alcohol-related

problems go undetected.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Affected Public: Individuals and small

businesses. Type of Respondents: The

elderly (65 and older) and physicians.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 636.

Estimated Number of Responses per

Respondent: 1. Average Burden Hours

per Response: .281. And Estimated

Total Annual Burden Hours Requested:

89.2. There are no Capital Costs to

report. There are no Operating or

Maintenance Costs to report.

The annual burden estimates are as

follows:

Total Number of Responses: 636 (318 per year).

Total Hours: 178.4 (89.2 per year).

REQUEST FOR COMMENTS: Comments are

invited on: (a) whether the proposed

collection is necessary, including

whether the information has practical

use; (b) ways to enhance the clarity,

quality, and use of the information to be

collected; (c) the accuracy of the agency

collection; and (d) ways to minimize the

collection burden of the respondents.
