Proposed Project 

NCEH/ATSDR Exposure 

Investigations (EI) [OMB NO: 0923– 

0040]—Revision—The National Center 

for Environmental Health (NCEH), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for 

Toxic Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR). 

Background and Brief Description 

This is a brief summary of a joint 

clearance between the NCEH and 

ATSDR, (hereafter ATSDR will 

represent both ATSDR and NCEH). 

ATSDR is mandated pursuant to the 

1980 Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) and its 1986 

Amendments, the Superfund 

Amendments and Reauthorization Act 

(SARA) to prevent or mitigate adverse 

human health effects and diminished 

quality of life resulting from the 

exposure to hazardous substances in the 

environment. EIs are an approach 

developed by ATSDR that employs 

targeted biologic (e.g., urine, blood, hair 

samples) and environmental (e.g., air, 

water, soil, or food) sampling to 

determine whether people are or have 

been exposed to unusual levels of 

pollutants at specific locations (e.g., 

where people live, spend leisure time, 

or anywhere they might come into 

contact with contaminants under 

investigation). After a chemical release 

or suspected release into the 

environment, ATSDR’s EIs are used by 

public health professionals, 

environmental risk managers, and other 

decision makers to determine if current 

conditions warrant intervention 

strategies to minimize or eliminate 

human exposure. EIs are usually 

requested by officials of a state health 

agency, county health departments, the 

Environmental Protection Agency, the 

general public, and ATSDR staff. 

ATSDR has been conducting EIs since 

1995 throughout the United States and 

seeks revision approved of the currently 

approval ICR. All of ATSDR’s 

biomedical assessments and some of the 

environmental investigations involve 

participants. Participation is completely 

voluntary. To assist in interpreting the 

sampling results, a survey questionnaire 

appropriate to the specific contaminant 

is administered to participants. ATSDR 

collects contact information (e.g., name, 

address, phone number) to provide the 

participant with their individual results. 

Name and address information are 

broken into nine separate questions 

(data fields) for computer entry. General 

information, which includes height, 

weight, age, race, gender, etc., is also 

collected primarily on biomedical 

investigations to assist with results 

interpretation. General information can 

account for approximately 28 questions 

per investigation, out of a set of 57 

general information questions. Some of 

this information is investigationspecific; not all of this data is collected 

for every investigation. 

ATSDR also collects information on 

other possible confounding sources of 

chemical(s) exposure such as medicines 

taken, foods eaten, hobbies, jobs, etc. In 

addition, ATSDR asks questions on 

recreational or occupational activities 

that could increase a participant’s 

exposure potential. That information 

represents an individual’s exposure 

history. To cover those broad categories, 

ATSDR is seeking approval for the use 

of sets of topical questions. Of these, we 

use approximately 12–15 questions 

about the pertinent environmental 

exposures per investigation. This 

number can vary depending on the 

number of chemicals being investigated, 

the route of exposure (e.g., breathing, 

eating, touching), and number of other 

sources of the chemical(s) (e.g., products 

used, jobs). 

Data management procedures have 

not changed since the previous 

approved information collection and the 

instrument does not have extensive 

revisions. Only minor non-substantive 

changes were made to the Library of 

Chemical Exposure Questions by 

dividing one question into two; to 

clarify, specify and better generate the 

information needed. 

Typically, the number of participants 

in an individual EI ranges from 10 to 

less than 50. Questionnaires are 

generally needed in less than half of the 

EIs (approximately 10–15 per year). 

The subject matter for the complete 

set of topical questions includes the 

following: 

(1) Media specific which includes: air 

(indoor/outdoor); water (water source 

and plumbing); soil, and food 

(gardening, fish, game, domestic 

animals (e.g., chickens). 

(2) Other sources such as: 

occupations; hobbies; household 

chemical uses and house construction 

characteristics; lifestyle (e.g., smoking); 

medicines and/or health conditions, and 

foods. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 375.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

In compliance with section 

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

Reduction Act of 1995 concerning 

opportunity for public comment on 

proposed collections of information, the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) 

will publish periodic summaries of 

proposed projects. To request more 

information on the proposed projects or 

to obtain a copy of the information 

collection plans, call the SAMHSA 

Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276– 

1243. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collections of information 

are necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Proposed Project: 2010 National Mental 

Health Services Survey (N–MHSS) 

(OMB No. 0930–0119)—Revision 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration’s 

(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health 

Services (CMHS) will conduct the 2010 

N–MHSS. This national survey will 

update the previous biennial mental 

health facility survey conducted in 

2008—the National Survey of Mental 

Health Treatment Facilities (NSMHTF) 

under OMB No. 0930–0119. Similar in 

design to the 2008 NSMHTF, the 2010 

N–MHSS will survey all mental health 

service locations, instead of surveying 

each mental health organization as a 

whole. These separate mental health 

service locations (facilities) are in 

contrast to mental health organizations 

which may include multiple facilities 

(service locations). This survey will be 

(a) A 100-percent enumeration of all 

known facilities nationwide that 

specialize in mental health treatment 

services, (b) more consumer-oriented in 

describing services available at each 

facility location, and (c) patterned after 

SAMHSA’s Office of Applied Studies 

National Survey of Substance Abuse 

Treatment Services (OMB No. 0930– 

0106). 

The 2010 N–MHSS will utilize one 

questionnaire for all mental health 

facility types including hospitals, 

residential treatment centers, outpatient 

clinics, and multi-setting facilities. The 

information collected will include: 

intake telephone numbers for services, 

types of services offered, sources of 

payment for services, facility caseload 

characteristics, and facility bed counts, 

if applicable. This survey will use a 

multi-mode approach to data 

collection—mail and Web with 

telephone follow-up. 

The resulting database will be used to 

provide both State and national 

estimates of facility types and their 

patient caseloads. Information from the 

2010 survey will also be used to update 

SAMHSA’s online Mental Health 

Facility Locator for use by consumers. 

In addition, data derived from the 

survey will be published by CMHS in 

SAMHSA publications such as Mental 

Health, United States and in 

professional journals such as Psychiatric 

Services and the American Journal of 

Psychiatry. The publication, Mental 

Health, United States, is used by the 

general public, State governments, the 

U.S. Congress, university researchers, 

mental health service providers, and 

mental health care professionals. The 

following Table summarizes the 

estimated response burden for the 

survey.
