Information Collection Request Title: 

The Hospital Preparedness Program 

Abstract: The Science Healthcare 

Preparedness Evaluation and Research 

(SHARPER), part of the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS), 

Assistant Secretary for Preparedness 

and Response (ASPR), Office of 

Emergency Management (OEM), 

Division of National Healthcare 

Preparedness Programs (NHPP), in 

conjunction with the Hospital 

Preparedness Program (HPP) is seeking 

an extension on a currently approved 

clearance by the Office of Management 

of Budget (OMB) for a Generic Data 

Collection Form to serve as the 

cornerstone of its effort to assess 

awardee program under the HPP 

Cooperative Agreement (CA) Program. 

Program data are gathered from 

awardees as part of their Ad-hoc and 

End-of-Year Progress Reports and other 

similar information collections (ICs) 

which have the same general purpose, 

account for awardee spending and 

program on all activities conducted in 

pursuit of achieving the HPP Grant 

goals. This data collection effort is 

crucial to HPP’s decision-making 

process regarding the continued 

existence, design and funding levels of 

this program. Results from these data 

analyses enable HPP to monitor 

healthcare emergency preparedness and 

progress towards national preparedness 

goals. HPP supports priorities outlined 

by the National Preparedness Goal (the 

Goal) established by the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) in 2005. The 

Goal guides entities at all levels of 

government in the development and 

maintenance of capabilities to prevent, 

protect against, respond to and recover 

from major events. Additionally, the 

Goal will assist entities at all levels of 

government in the development and 

maintenance of the capabilities to 

identify, prioritize and protect critical 

infrastructure.

Proposed Project 

EEOICPA Dose Reconstruction 

Interviews and Forms, OMB No. 0920– 

0530 (Expiration, 02/28/2015)— 

Extension—The National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

On October 30, 2000, the Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Program Act of 2000 (42 

U.S.C. 7384–7385) was enacted. This 

Act established a federal compensation 

program for employees of the 

Department of Energy (DOE) and certain 

of its contractors, subcontractors and 

vendors, who have suffered cancers and 

other designated illnesses as a result of 

exposures sustained in the production 

and testing of nuclear weapons. 

Executive Order 13179, issued on 

December 7, 2000, delegated authorities 

assigned to ‘‘the President’’ under the 

Act to the Departments of Labor, Health 

and Human Services, Energy and 

Justice. The Department of Health and 

Human Services (DHHS) was delegated 

the responsibility of establishing 

methods for estimating radiation doses 

received by eligible claimants with 

cancer applying for compensation. 

NIOSH is applying the following 

methods to estimate the radiation doses 

of individuals applying for 

compensation. 

In performance of its dose 

reconstruction responsibilities, under 

the Act, NIOSH is providing voluntary 

interview opportunities to claimants (or 

their survivors) individually and 

providing them with the opportunity to 

assist NIOSH in documenting the work 

history of the employee by 

characterizing the actual work tasks 

performed. In addition, NIOSH and the 

claimant may identify incidents that 

may have resulted in undocumented 

radiation exposures, characterizing 

radiological protection and monitoring 

practices, and identify co-workers and 

other witnesses as may be necessary to 

confirm undocumented information. In 

this process, NIOSH uses a computer 

assisted telephone interview (CATI) 

system, which allows interviews to be 

conducted more efficiently and quickly 

as opposed to a paper-based interview 

instrument. Both interviews are 

voluntary and failure to participate in 

either or both interviews will not have 

a negative effect on the claim, although 

voluntary participation may assist the 

claimant by adding important 

information that may not be otherwise 

available. NIOSH is requesting a threeyear approval for these data collection 

activities.
