    Information Collection Request Title: Poison Help General 
Population Survey, OMB Number 0915-0343, Reinstatement.
    Abstract: HRSA is requesting approval by OMB for reinstatement of a 
previously approved collection of information (OMB control number 0915-
0343). Annually, poison control centers (PCCs) in the U.S. manage 
approximately 2.8 million calls, providing ready and direct access to 
vital public health emergency information and response. In 2001, the 
Poison Help line, a single, national toll-free phone number (800-222-
1222) was established to ensure universal access to PCC services, 24 
hours a day, 7 days a week. The Poison Help campaign is the only 
national media effort to promote awareness and use of the national 
toll-free phone number. The Poison Help campaign aims to reach a wide 
audience, as individuals of all ages are at risk for poisoning and may 
need to access PCC services. The ``Poison Help General Population 
Survey'' is a 10-minute telephone survey designed to assess the Poison 
Help campaign's impact among 2,000 households in the United States. The 
survey is conducted with an adult household member and addresses topics 
related to the types of individuals or organizations to contact for 
information, advice, and treatment related to a poisoning.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Survey results will be 
used to guide future communication, education, and outreach efforts and 
will allow the tracking of longitudinal data from near-identical prior 
surveys conducted in 2008 and 2011. The survey has been updated to 
include questions regarding one of the Secretary of Health and Human 
Service's priority areas, addressing the opioid crisis, and 
definitively ascertain respondents' knowledge of the Poison Help Line 
and phone usage.
    Likely Respondents: This study includes two respondent groups, 
individuals and households with an adult member 18 years and older.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this Information Collection Request are summarized in the table below.

    HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and 
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper 
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the 
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to 
minimize the information collection burden.
