1 There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Based on FDA’s database system, 

there are an estimated 140 

manufacturers of products or sponsors 

of new animal drugs potentially subject 

to ADUFA. However, not all 

manufacturers or sponsors will have any 

submissions in a given year and some 

may have multiple submissions. The 

total number of annual responses is 

based on the number of submissions 

received by FDA in the fiscal year 2003. 

FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine, 

estimates 69 annual responses that 

include the following: 28 new animal 

drug premarket approval applications 

and 41 supplements. The estimated 

hours per response are based on past 

FDA experience with the various 

submissions and range from 30 minutes 

to 1 hour. The hours per response are 

based on the average of these estimates.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection 

Comment Request 

In compliance with the requirement 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects 

(section 3506(c) (2) of Title 44, United 

States Code, as amended by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13), the Health 

Resources and Services Administration 

(HRSA) will publish 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, call the 

HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on 

(301) 443–1129. 

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; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques

technology. 

Proposed Project: Survey of Safety Net 

Providers for the Healthy Communities 

Access Program National Evaluation—

New 

A survey of 800 safety net providers 

will be performed to provide essential 

information not otherwise available for 

the national evaluation of the Healthy 

Communities Access Program (Sect. 

340, Pub. L. 107–251, Oct. 26, 2002). A 

preliminary review indicates that this 

sample of providers provides an 

adequate representation of provider 

types of most interest. The survey 

results will be considered along with 

information from other quantitative and 

qualitative data sources (including 

national, State and local data and 

information from grantee consortia 

leaders and clients) in order to develop 

a Report to Congress in September 2005 

and a program evaluation report by 

September 2006. The survey will collect 

data for key evaluation goals including 

coordination and integration of safety 

net services, capacity and access issues, 

health care delivery, quality of care, cost 

savings, sustainability, and provider and 

patient satisfaction. 

The survey of the provider 

institution’s administrator will be multimodal using mail, telephone, and 

internet modes of data collection. Mail 

or internet responses will be requested, 

with telephone follow-up or survey 

administration. The key types of 

providers to be surveyed are those 

specified in the law as required 

consortia members (i.e., federally 

qualified health centers, hospitals, 

public health departments, and 

providers serving the medically 

uninsured and underserved). Two 

hundred providers of each type will be 

surveyed. The burden estimate is as 

follows:
