[Docket No. 120123059–2058–01] 

Evaluating the Usability of Electronic 

Health Record (EHR) Systems 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: NIST is soliciting interest in 

supplying electronic health record 

(EHR) systems for use by NIST in 

research to develop a framework for 

assessing the usability of health 

information technology (HIT) systems, 

EHRs in particular, and performanceoriented user interface design guidelines 

for EHRs. Manufacturers interested in 

participating in this research will be 

asked to execute a Letter of 

Understanding. Interested parties are 

invited to contact NIST for information 

regarding participation, Letters of 

Understanding and shipping 

information. 

DATES: Manufacturers who wish to 

participate in the program must submit 

a request and an executed Letter of 

Understanding by 5 p.m. Eastern 

Standard Time on March 15, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Letters of Understanding 

may be obtained from and should be 

submitted to Svetlana Lowry, National 

Institute of Standards and Technology, 

Information Access Division, Building 

225, Room A232, 100 Bureau Drive, 

Mail Stop 8940, Gaithersburg, MD 

20899–8940. Letters of Understanding 

may be faxed to: Svetlana Lowry at (301) 

975–5287. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information, you may telephone 

Svetlana Lowry at (301) 975–4995, or 

email: svetlana.lowry@nist.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) will be conducting 

research to support the development of 

procedures for measuring and 

evaluating the usability of health 

information technology (HIT) systems. 

NIST research is designed to: (1) 

Develop a set of guidelines/standards 

for the usability of HIT/EHRs, and (2) 

develop a framework for assessing EHR 

usability in development of a report 

titled ‘‘NIST Usability Guidelines and 

Evaluation Framework for EHR 

Systems.’’ NIST may also examine 

relevant instructions, documentation 

and EHR error messages. 

NIST is soliciting interest in 

supplying existing EHR systems for use 

by NIST in research to develop 

performance-oriented user interface 

design guidelines for EHRs, and a 

framework for assessing the usability of 

EHRs. Interested manufacturers should 

contact NIST at the address given above. 

NIST will supply a Letter of 

Understanding, which the manufacturer 

must execute and send back to NIST. 

The Letters of Understanding will be 

entered into pursuant to the authorities 

granted NIST under 15 U.S.C. 3710a. 

NIST will then provide the 

manufacturer with instructions for 

shipping the EHR system. NIST 

anticipates that it will take 

approximately one year to conduct all 

necessary research. No modification to 

the manufacturers’ product is permitted 

during the research process. NIST may 

transport equipment to locations off site 

from NIST’s main campus as required 

for the purpose of conducting usability 

studies. NIST will ensure that all off site 

usability testing locations have the same 

or higher level of security and system 

protection procedures as the on-site 

NIST labs located in the Usability 

Laboratory in Gaithersburg, MD. At the 

conclusion of the experiments, NIST 

will remove the EHR systems from all 

computers on which they were installed 

and return them to the manufacturers. 

Information acquired during the tests 

regarding potential usability problems 

will be reported to the respective 

manufacturer. Usability testing results 

for identifiable vendor systems will not 

be released subject to the terms and 

conditions in the Letters of 

Understanding. Comparative 

information (e.g., testing results from 

unidentified EHR systems A, B, and C) 

may be released in a blind manner in a 

report from NIST titled ‘‘NIST Usability 

Guidelines and Evaluation Framework 

for EHR Systems.’’ 

Participating manufacturers should 

include or provide a technical tutorial 

on the use of the EHR system. NIST will 

pay all shipping costs associated with 

sending the EHR system installation and 

training materials except those not 

permitted by law (such as shipping 

insurance, which, if desired, must be 

purchased by the manufacturer). NIST 

must pay shipping costs directly and 

cannot reimburse manufacturers for 

shipping costs. Unless the manufacturer 

desires to pay such shipping insurance 

costs, there is no other cost to the 

manufacturer for the testing. 

EHR systems that will be accepted for 

the experiments may include inpatient 

and outpatient EHRs. NIST will not 

accept actual personal health 

information as part of this project.

Atlantic Shark Management Measures; 

2012 Research Fishery 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of public meeting. 

SUMMARY: On October 31, 2011, NMFS 

published a notice inviting qualified 

commercial shark permit holders to 

submit an application to participate in 

the 2012 shark research fishery. The 

shark research fishery allows for the 

collection of fishery-dependent data for 

future stock assessments while also 

allowing NMFS and commercial 

fishermen to conduct cooperative 

research to meet the shark research 

objectives of the Agency. Every year, the 

permit terms and permitted activities 

(e.g., number of hooks and trip, 

retention limits) specifically authorized 

for selected participants in the shark 

research fishery are designated 

depending on the scientific and research 

needs of the Agency as well as the 

number of NMFS-approved observers 

available. In order to inform selected 

participants of this year’s specific 

permit requirements and ensure all 

terms and conditions of the permit are 

met, NMFS is holding a mandatory 

permit holder meeting for selected 

participants. In this notice, NMFS 

announces the date and time of that 

meeting. 

DATES: A conference call will be held on 

February 17, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: A conference call will be 

conducted. See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for information on how to 

access the conference call.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Atlantic shark fisheries are managed 

under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens 

Act). The 2006 Consolidated Highly 

Migratory species (HMS) Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP) is 

implemented by regulations at 50 CFR 

part 635. 

The final rule for Amendment 2 to the 

Consolidated HMS FMP (73 FR 35778, 

June 24, 2008, corrected at 73 FR 40658, 

July 15, 2008) established, among other 

things, a shark research fishery to 

maintain time series data for stock 

assessments and to meet NMFS’ 

research objectives. The shark research 

fishery gathers important scientific data 

and NMFS allows selected commercial 

fishermen the opportunity to earn more 

revenue from selling the sharks caught, 

including sandbar sharks. Only the 

commercial shark fishermen selected to 

participate in the shark research fishery 

are authorized to land/harvest sandbar 

sharks subject to the sandbar quota 

available each year. The sandbar shark 

base quota is 87.9 mt dw per year 

through December 31, 2012, although 

this number may be reduced in the 

event of overharvests, if any. The 

selected shark research fishery 

participants also have access to the nonsandbar large coastal sharks (LCS), small 

coastal sharks (SCS), and pelagic shark 

quotas subject to retention limits and 

quotas per §§ 635.24 and 635.27, 

respectively. 

On October 31, 2011 (76 FR 67149), 

NMFS published a notice inviting 

qualified commercial shark permit 

holders to submit an application to 

participate in the 2012 shark research 

fishery. NMFS received 19 applications, 

of which 16 applicants were determined 

to meet all the qualifications. From the 

16 qualified applicants, NMFS 

randomly selected 5 participants after 

considering how to meet research 

objectives in particular regions. During 

the annual application period, 

commercial shark permit holders 

(directed and incidental) are invited to 

submit an application to participate in 

the shark research fishery. NMFS 

expects to invite qualified commercial 

shark permit holders to submit an 

application for the 2013 shark research 

fishery later this year.
