Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers 
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information 
collection request titled Assessment of Cancer Prevention Services at 
Community Mental Health Centers to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for review and approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed 
Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' 
notice on November 8, 2017 to obtain comments from the public and 
affected agencies. CDC received four comments related to the previous 
notice. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days for public 
and affected agency comments.
    CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information 
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly 
interested in comments that:
    (a) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (b) Evaluate the accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    (d) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including, through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses; and
    (e) Assess information collection costs.
    To request additional information on the proposed project or to 
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call 
(404) 639-7570 or send an email to [email protected]. Direct written comments 
and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in this notice to the 
Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-5806. Provide 
written comments within 30 days of notice publication.

Proposed Project

    Assessment of Cancer Prevention Services at Community Mental Health 
Centers (0920-17AZG)--New--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    People with mental illness (MI) have higher rates of cancer risk 
factors such as smoking and obesity than people without MI.
    Many people with MI receive outpatient mental health care at 
community mental health centers (CMHC), and some of these facilities 
also provide screening for cardiovascular disease and other chronic 
conditions. The extent to which CMHCs provide cancer prevention 
services is not understood.
    This project will use online instruments and telephone interviews 
with psychiatric clinicians (e.g., psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse 
practitioners, psychologists, registered nurses, and other clinicians 
who might oversee cancer prevention services) and administrators at 
selected CMHCs across the United States to assess the capacities of 
these facilities to provide cancer prevention services (e.g., cancer 
risk factor education, cancer screening referrals, tobacco cessation 
counseling) to clients.
    Our goal is to achieve a final analytic sample of at least 250 
psychiatric clinicians and 250 administrators at CMHCs. A subset of 5%-
10% of each group will be interviewed by telephone.
    The objectives of this study are to: (1) Describe the capacity of 
CMHCs to provide cancer prevention services; (2) describe any written 
policies and procedures at CMHCS for providing these services; (3) 
describe any collaboration of CMHCs with health care providers or 
community health workers/organizations to provide these services; and 
(4) describe any barriers to providing these services. Researchers will 
ask respondents for CMHCs that provide cancer prevention services about 
best practices and lessons learned.
    To calculate the total burden, we estimated 500 respondents for the 
surveys and 50 for the interviews. The average burden varied from 15-20 
minutes for the surveys, and an hour for the interviews. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 392. There will be no costs to the 
respondents other than their time.
