The National Institutes of Health may 

not conduct or sponsor, and the 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, an information collection that has 

been extended, revised, or implemented 

on or after October 1, 1995, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Proposed Collection: Title: 

Physicians’ Experience of Ethical 

Dilemmas and Resource Allocation. 

Type of Information Collection Request: 

New. Need and Use of Information 

Collection: Health care costs are rising 

ceaselessly and there are currently no 

generally accepted way of controlling 

them. This study will access the 

experience of physicians regarding 

resource allocation in clinical practice, 

and how allocation decisions made at 

other levels shapes this experience. The 

primary objectives of the study are to 

determine if physicians make decisions 

to withhold interventions on the basis of 

cost, how often they report doing so, 

what types of care are withheld, and 

what criteria are used in making such 

decisions. The findings will provide 

valuable information concerning: (1) 

The practice of resource allocation in 

clinical practice, (2) the possible effects 

of perceived constraints on this practice; 

and (3) international comparisons on 

these two aspects. Frequency of 

Response: Once. Affected Public: 

Individuals or households; Businesses 

or other for-profit; Not-for-profit 

institutions. Type of Respondents: 

Physicians. The annual reporting 

burden is as follows: Estimated Number 

of Respondents: 250; Estimated Number 

of Responses per Respondent: 1; 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

0.3674; and Estimated Total Annual 

Burden Hours Requested: 91.85. The 

annualized cost to respondents is 

estimated at: $5,218. There are no 

Capital Costs, Operating Costs and/or 

Maintenance Costs to report. 

Request for Comments: Written 

comments and/or suggestions from the 

public and affected agencies should 

address one or more of the following 

points: (1) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the function of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (2) Evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) Minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

the item(s) contained in this notice,
