diagnosed with cancer and other 

radiogenic diseases caused by exposure 

to nuclear fallout or nuclear materials 

such as uranium. RESEP funds support 

eligible health care organizations in 

implementing cancer screening 

programs; developing education 

programs; disseminating information on 

radiogenic diseases and the importance 

of early detection; screening eligible 

individuals for cancer and other 

radiogenic diseases; providing 

appropriate referrals for medical 

treatment; and facilitating 

documentation of Radiation Exposure 

Compensation Act (RECA) claims. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: For this program, 

performance measures were drafted to 

provide data useful to the program and 

to enable HRSA to provide aggregate 

program data required by Congress 

under the Government Performance and 

Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 

103–62). These measures cover the 

principal topic areas of interest to the 

Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, 

including: (a) Demographics for the 

RESEP program medical user patient 

population; (b) medical screening 

activities for cancers and other 

radiogenic diseases; (c) exposure and 

presentation types for eligible 

radiogenic malignant and nonmalignant diseases; (d) referrals for 

appropriate medical treatment; (e) 

eligibility counseling and referral 

assistance for the RECA and Energy 

Employees Occupational Illness 

Compensation Act programs; and (f) 

program outreach and education 

activities. These measures will speak to 

the Office’s progress toward meeting the 

goals set. 

Likely Respondents: Radiation 

Exposure Screening and Education 

Program award recipients. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to: (1) Review instructions; (2)

of collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; (3) train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; (4) search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and (5)

HRSA specifically requests comments 

on: (1) The necessity and utility of the 

proposed information collection for the 

proper performance of the agency’s 

functions; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (4) the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Information Collection Request Title: 

The Secretary’s Discretionary Advisory 

Committee on Heritable Disorders in 

Newborns and Children’s Public Health 

System Assessment Surveys OMB No. 

0906–xxxx—New. 

Abstract: The purpose of the public 

health system assessment surveys is to 

inform the Secretary’s Discretionary 

Advisory Committee on Heritable 

Disorders in Newborns and Children 

(Committee) on the ability to add 

newborn screening for particular 

conditions within a state, including the 

feasibility, readiness, and overall 

capacity to screen for a new condition. 

The Committee was established under 

the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 

217a: Advisory Councils or Committees. 

This Committee fulfills the functions 

previously undertaken by the former 

Secretary’s Advisory Committee on 

Heritable Disorders in Newborns and 

Children, established under section 

1111 of the Public Health Service Act 

(PHS), 42 U.S.C. 300b–10, as amended 

in the Newborn Screening Saves Lives 

Act of 2008. The Committee is governed 

by the provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as 

amended (5 U.S.C. App.), which sets 

forth standards for the formation and 

use of advisory committees. The 

purpose of the Committee is to provide 

the Secretary with recommendations, 

advice, and technical information 

regarding the most appropriate 

application of technologies, policies,

guidelines, and standards for: (a) 

Effectively reducing morbidity and 

mortality in newborns and children 

having, or at risk for, heritable 

disorders; and (b) enhancing the ability 

of state and local health agencies to 

provide for newborn and child 

screening, counseling, and health care 

services for newborns and children 

having, or at risk for, heritable 

disorders. Specifically, the Committee 

makes systematic evidence-based 

recommendations on newborn screening 

for conditions that have the potential to 

change the health outcomes for 

newborns. 

The Committee tasks an external 

workgroup to conduct systematic 

evidence based reviews. The reviews are 

of rare, genetic conditions and their 

corresponding newborn screening 

test(s), confirmatory test(s), and 

treatment(s). Reviews also include an 

analysis of the benefits and harms of 

newborn screening for a selected 

condition at a population level and an 

assessment of state public health 

newborn screening programs’ ability to 

implement the screening of a new 

condition. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: HRSA proposes that the 

data collection surveys be administered 

by the Committee’s external Condition 

Review Workgroup to all state newborn 

screening programs in the United States 

up to twice a year for two conditions. 

The surveys were developed to capture 

the following: (1) The readiness of state 

public health newborn screening 

programs to expand newborn screening 

to include the target condition; (2) 

specific requirements of screening for 

the condition would hinder or facilitate 

its implementation in each state; and (3) 

estimated timeframes needed for each 

state to complete major milestones 

toward full newborn screening of the 

condition. 

The data gathered will inform the 

Committee on the following: (1) 

Feasibility of implementing populationbased screening for the target condition; 

(2) readiness of state newborn screening 

programs to adopt screening for the 

condition; (3) identify gaps in feasibility 

or readiness to screen for the condition; 

and (4) identify areas of technical 

assistance and resources needed to 

facilitate screening for conditions with 

low feasibility or readiness. 

Likely Respondents: The respondents 

to the survey will be state newborn 

screening programs. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this ICR are 

summarized in the table below.
