 In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, e-mail 
                    *paperwork@hrsa.gov*
                     or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443-1129. *Comments are invited on:*
                     (a) The proposed collection of information for the proper performance of the functions of the agency; (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; and (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. Proposed Project: Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic Disease Prevention Demonstration Program (OMB No. 0915-NEW)—[NEW] The Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic Disease Prevention Demonstration Program (PNDP) authorizes funds for the development and operation of projects to provide patient navigator services to improve health outcomes for individuals with cancer and other chronic diseases, with a specific emphasis on health disparities populations. Award recipients are to use grant funds to recruit, assign, train, and employ patient navigators who have direct knowledge of the communities they serve to facilitate the care of those who are at risk for or who have cancer or other chronic diseases, including conducting outreach to health disparities populations. As authorized by the statute, an evaluation of the outcomes of the program must be submitted to Congress. The purpose of these data collection instruments, including navigated patient data intake, VR-12 health status, patient navigator survey, patient navigator encounter/tracking log, patient medical record and clinic data, clinic rates (baseline measures), and quarterly reports is to provide data to inform and support the Report to Congress for: the quantitative analysis of baseline and benchmark measures; aggregate information about the patients served and program activities, and; recommendations on whether patient navigator programs could be used to improve patient outcomes in other public health areas.
