    Project Title: Assessment of the Impact of Energy Development on 
the Behavioral Health of Women in Western North Dakota and Eastern 
Montana, The Region VIII Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health 
(OASH), Office on Women's Health (OWH).
    Abstract: The Office on Women's Health (OWH) in the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for a new data collection for the Assessment of the Impact 
of Energy Development on the Behavioral Health of Women in Western 
North Dakota and Eastern Montana. Its mission is to provide national 
leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls 
through policy, education and model programs. Region VIII OASH/OWH is 
interested in improving women's behavioral health associated with the 
impact of energy development through gender based data collection and 
analysis. The discovery and subsequent development of the Parshall Oil 
Field within the Bakken region of Western North Dakota has led to 
significant economic opportunity and population growth in the region 
(Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota). Rapid population growth has 
many intended and unintended consequences, both positive and negative, 
on the social and economic environment of the region and, consequently, 
the population's health and well-being.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: There are well-documented 
environmental health issues associated with oil and gas development, 
including air, water, soil, noise, and light pollution. However, there 
are additional social, physical and mental health effects that are less 
well documented. Current research is very limited, but preliminary 
evidence suggests that women have unmet behavioral health needs due in 
part to the energy development and population surge in region. These 
data will ultimately be used to understand the impact of energy 
development on the behavioral health of women in Eastern Montana and 
Western North Dakota.

[[Page 40775]]

There will be a final report that is thematically organized and 
describes key findings and strategic recommendations for Region VIII 
OASH/OWH to consider supporting future evidence-based program 
development and implementation, policy recommendations, and future 
research.
    Likely Respondents: Data for this assessment will be collected 
through three mechanisms--a survey of women living in the assessment 
geography, focus groups with a cross-section of women and other key 
groups living in the assessment geography, key leaders and stakeholders 
across a variety of governmental and non-governmental sectors.
    The total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized 
in the table below.
