comments or requesting information, 

please include the document identifier 

0990–New–30D and project title for 

reference. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested 

persons are invited to send comments 

regarding this burden estimate or any 

other aspect of this collection of 

information, including any of the 

following subjects: (1) The necessity and 

utility of the proposed information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the agency’s functions; (2) the accuracy 

of the estimated burden; (3) ways to 

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 

of the information to be collected; and 

(4) the use of automated collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology to minimize the information 

collection burden. 

Title of the Collection: HHS 

Teletracking COVID–19 Portal (U.S. 

Healthcare COVID–19 Portal). 

Type of Collection: In use without an 

OMB number: OMB No. 0990–XXXX 

OS/OCIO. 

Abstract: The data collected through 

this ICR informs the Federal 

Government’s understanding of disease 

patterns and furthers the development 

of policies for prevention and control of 

disease spread and impact related to the 

2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID–19). 

One of the most important uses of the 

data collected through this ICR is to 

determine critical allocations of limited 

supplies (e.g., protective equipment and 

medication). For instance, this 

collection has been used to distribute 

Remdesivir, a vital therapeutic that HHS 

distributes to the American healthcare 

system, via distinct data calls on regular 

intervals. As of July 10, HHS reduced 

the number requests for data from 

hospitals to support allocations of 

Remdesivir. HHS has stopped sending 

out one-time requests for data to aid in 

the distribution of Remdesivir or any 

other treatments or supplies. This 

consolidated daily reporting is the only 

mechanism used for the distribution 

calculations, and daily reports are 

needed to ensure accurate calculations. 

Type of respondent: We acknowledge 

the burden placed on many hospitals, 

including resource constraints, and have 

allowed for some flexibilities, such as 

back-submissions or submitting every 

business days, with the understanding 

that respondents may not have 

sufficient staff working over the 

weekend. It is our belief that collection 

of this information daily is the most 

effective way to detect outbreaks and 

needs for Federal assistance over time, 

by hospital and geographical area, and 

to alert the appropriate officials for 

action. It’s requested that 5,500 

hospitals, submit data daily on the 

number of patients tested for COVID–19, 

as well as information on bed capacity 

and requirements for other supplies. 

The HHS Teletracking COVID–19 

Portal (U.S. Healthcare COVID–19 

Portal) includes some data that were 

initially submitted by hospitals to HHS 

through CDC’s National Healthcare 

Safety Network (NHSN) COVID–19 

Module (OMB Control No. 0920–1290, 

approved 03/26/2020). Over the last 

several months time, the guidance for 

which data elements should be sent to 

HHS and through which method was 

updated at the request of the White 

House Coronavirus Task Force and 

other leaders to better inform the 

response.
