Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Online Skills Training for 
PCPs on Substance Abuse

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the 
National Institutes of Health 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 published in the Federal Register in Vol. 75 No. 144, pages 
44265-44266, on July 28, 2010 and allowed 60 days for public comment. 
One public comment was received on the instruments outlined in the 60-
day notice. A response to this request was sent to the interested 
party. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for 
public comment. 5 CFR 1320.5 (General requirements) Reporting and 
Recordkeeping Requirements: Final Rule requires that the agency inform 
the potential persons who are to respond to the collection of 
information that such persons are not required to respond to the 
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB 
control number.
    Proposed Collection:
    Title: Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance Abuse.
    Type of Information Collection Request: New.
    Need and Use of Information Collection: This research will evaluate 
the effectiveness of the Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance 
Abuse, via the Web site SBIRTTraining.com, to positively impact the 
knowledge, attitudes, intended behaviors and clinical skills of primary 
care physicians in the US who treat substance abuse patients. The 
Online Skills Training for PCPs on Substance Abuse is a new program 
developed with funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The 
primary goal is to assess the impact of the training program on 
knowledge, attitude, intended behavior, and clinical skills. A 
secondary goal is to assess learner satisfaction with the program. If 
the program is a success, there will be a new, proven resource 
available to primary care physicians to improve their ability to assess 
and treat substance use disorders. In order to evaluate the 
effectiveness of the program, information will be collected from 
primary care physicians before exposure to the Web based materials 
(pre-test), after exposure to the Web based materials (post-test), and 
4-6 weeks after the program has been completed (follow-up).
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Primary care physicians who treat patients who 
have substance abuse.
    Type of Respondents: Physicians.
    The annual reporting burden is as follows:
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 80.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 3.
    Average Burden Hours per Response: 0.75.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 180.
    The Annualized Cost to Respondents Is Estimated at: $13,500. There 
are no Capital Costs, Operating Costs, and/or Maintenance Costs to 
report.
