Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection:

Comment Request

In compliance with the requirement

of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for

opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects, the
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 5 / Wednesday, January 8, 1997 / Notices 1121

Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) will publish

periodic summaries of proposed

projects being developed for submission

to 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, 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

or other forms of information

technology.

Proposed Projects

for the DHHS and DHUD Hospital

Mortgage Insurance, Guarantee, and

Direct Loan Programs (OMB No. 0915–

0174)—Extension, no change—The

Division of Facilities Loans within the

Health Resources and Services

Administration monitors outstanding

direct and guaranteed loans made under

Section 621 of Title VI and Section 1601

of Title XVI of the Public Health Service

Act, as well as loans insured under the

Section 242 Hospital Mortgage

Insurance Program of the Fair Housing

Act. These programs were designed to

aid construction and modernization of

health care facilities by increasing the

access of facilities to capital through the

assumption of the mortgage credit risk

by the Federal Government.

Operating statistics and financial

information are collected annually from

hospitals with mortgages that are

insured under these programs. The

information is used to monitor the

financial stability of the hospitals to

protect the Federal investment in these

facilities. The form used for the data

collection is the Hospital Facility Data

Abstract. No changes in the form are

proposed. Because of the relatively

small level of effort associated with

submitting this report, there are no

plans to develop a system for electronic

transmission of the data. The estimate of

annual burden hours is as follows:

National Institutes of Health

Submission for OMB Review;

Comment Request; Pilot Research for

Epidemiologic Studies of Migrant and

Seasonal Farmworkers

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995, the National

Cancer Institute (NCI), the National

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted

to the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) a request to review and approve

the information collection listed below.

This proposed information collection

was previously published in the Federal

Register on October 24, 1996, page

55159, and allowed 60 days for public

comment. No public comments were

received. The purpose of this notice is

to allow an additional 30 days for public

comment. The National Institutes of

Health may not conduct or sponsor, and

the respondent is not required to

respond to, any information collection

that has been extended, revised, or

implemented after October 1, 1995,

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number.

Proposed Collection

Title: Pilot Research for

Epidemiologic Studies of Migrant and

Seasonal Farmworkers. Type of

Information Collection Request: New.

Need and Use of Information Collection:

A pilot study will be conducted to

evaluate the ability to trace farmworkers

over extended periods of time, to

determine cancer diagnosis and

treatment patterns among migrant and

seasonal farmworkers, and to assess the

reliability of farm work histories from

farmworkers and from their spouses.

The information will be used by the NCI

to identify the most appropriate study

design, case ascertainment procedures,

and exposure assessment methods for a

full-scale epidemiologic study of cancer

among migrant and seasonal

farmworkers. Determining the feasibility

of using automated data collection

techniques to obtain occupational

histories from farmworkers will be part

of this project. Frequency of Response:

One-time study. Affected public:

Individuals or households. Type of

Respondents: Farmworkers and

relatives. The annual reporting burden

is as follows:
