Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites comment on a proposed 
assessment of cancer prevention services at selected community mental 
health centers. CDC seeks to request an Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) clearance for a three-year data collection project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they 
conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires Federal agencies 
to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information, including each new proposed 
collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is 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; (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; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. 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.

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

Background and Brief Description

    Compared to people without mental illness (MI), people with MI have 
higher rates of cancer risk factors such as smoking and obesity.
    Many people with MI receive outpatient mental health care at 
community mental health centers (CMHC), and some of these facilities 
provide screening for cardiovascular disease and other chronic 
conditions. The extent to which cancer prevention services are provided 
at CMHCs is not understood.
    This project will use online instruments and telephone interviews 
with psychiatric clinicians 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.
    With a goal to achieve a final analytic sample of at least 250 
psychiatric clinicians and 250 administrators at CMHCs, researchers 
will interview a subset of 5%-10% of each group 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 that provide cancer prevention services about best 
practices and lessons learned.
    There will be no costs to the respondents other than their time. To 
calculate the total burden, we estimated 500 respondents for the 
surveys and 50 for the interviews. The average burden will vary from 
15-20 minutes for the surveys and one hour for the interviews. The 
total estimated annual burden hours are 392.
