Title of the Collection: ASPE Generic 

Clearance for the Collection of 

Qualitative Research and Assessment. 

Type of Collection: (Revision). 

OMB No. 0990–0421—Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Planning and 

Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: The Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Planning and Evaluation 

(ASPE) is requesting a three-year 

renewal with change for their generic 

clearance for purposes of conducting 

qualitative research. The ICR is for an 

extension of the approved information 

collection assigned OMB control 

number 0990–0421, scheduled to expire 

on January 31, 2024. ASPE conducts 

qualitative research to gain a better 

understanding of emerging health and 

human services policy issues, develop 

future intramural and extramural 

research projects, and to ensure HHS 

leadership, agencies and offices have 

recent data and information to inform 

program and policy decision-making. 

ASPE is requesting approval for at least 

four types of qualitative research which 

include, but are not limited to, (a) 

interviews, (b) focus groups, (c) 

questionnaires, and (d) other qualitative 

methods. 

ASPE advises the Secretary of the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services on policy development in 

health, disability, human services, data, 

and science, and provides advice and 

analysis on economic policy. ASPE 

leads special initiatives, coordinates 

many of the Department’s evaluation, 

research and demonstration activities, 

and manages cross-Department planning 

activities such as implementation of the 

Evidence Act, strategic planning, 

legislative planning, and review of 

regulations. Integral to this role, ASPE 

will use this mechanism to conduct 

qualitative research, evaluation, or 

assessment, conduct analyses, and 

understand needs, barriers, or 

facilitators for HHS-related programs 

and services. 

ASPE is requesting comment on the 

increased burden for qualitative 

research aimed at understanding 

emerging health and human services 

policy issues. The goal of developing 

these activities is to identify emerging 

issues and research gaps to ensure the 

successful implementation of HHS 

programs. The participants may include 

health and human services experts; 

national, state, and local health or 

human services representatives; public 

health, human services, or healthcare 

providers; and representatives of other 

health or human services organizations, 

and people with lived experience. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: ASPE is requesting 

comment on the burden for qualitative 

research aimed at understanding 

emerging health and human services 

policy issues. The goal of developing 

these activities is to identify emerging 

issues and research gaps to ensure the 

successful implementation of HHS 

programs. The participants may include 

health and human services experts; 

national, state, and local health or 

human services representatives; public 

health, human services, or healthcare 

providers; and representatives of other 

health or human services organizations, 

and people with lived experience. The 

increase in burden from 2,000 annually 

in 2020 to 5,000 respondents annually 

in 2023 reflects an increase in the 

number of research projects and 

information collections expected to be 

conducted over the next three years.
