Comment Request Electronic Prior 

Approval Submission System (ePASS) 

(NHLBI) 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 

Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the National 

Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) a request for review and 

approval of the information collection 

listed below. This proposed information 

collection was previously published in 

the Federal Register on November 24, 

2014 (79 FR 69865), and allowed 60- 

days for public comment. One public 

comment was received. The purpose of 

this notice is to allow an additional 30 

days for public comment. The National 

Heart, Lung and Blood Institute 

(NHLBI), National Institutes of Health, 

may not conduct or sponsor, and the 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, an information collection that has 

been extended, revised, or implemented 

on or after October 1, 1995, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Direct Comments to OMB: Written 

comments and/or suggestions regarding 

the item(s) contained in this notice, 

especially regarding the estimated 

public burden and associated response 

time, should be directed to the: Office 

of Management and Budget, Office of 

Regulatory Affairs, OIRA_submission@

omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202–395–6974, 

Attention: NIH Desk Officer. 

DATES: Comment Due Date: Comments 

regarding this information collection are 

best assured of having their full effect if 

received within 30-days of the date of 

this publication. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To 

obtain a copy of the data collection 

plans and instruments, submit 

comments in writing, or request more 

information on the proposed project, 

contact: Ms. Ryan Lombardi, 6701 

Rockledge, Office of Grants 

Management, National Heart, Lung, and 

Blood Institute, National Institutes of 

Health, 6701 Rockledge Dr, MSC 7926, 

Bethesda, MD 20892–7926, or call nontoll-free number 301–435–0166, or 

Email your request, including your 

address to lombardr@mail.nih.gov. 

Formal requests for additional plans and 

instruments must be requested in 

writing. 

Proposed Collection: Electronic Prior 

Approval Submission System (ePASS), 

0925—New, National Heart Lung and 

Blood Institute (NHLBI), National 

Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Need and Use of Information 

Collection: The purpose and use of the 

information collection for this project is 

to collect and track certain requests 

(such as budget modifications or 

undertaking particular activities) from 

NIH grantees in an electronic format. 

This new electronic system, ePASS 

(electronic Prior Approval Submission 

System), will enable grantees to have a 

standard way to submit requests for 

their projects per NIH policy. The 

grantee will initiate a request for a 

certain action as required by NIH policy: 

Use of unobligated balances/carryover, 

change of PI, change of effort, Training

17762 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 63 / Thursday, April 2, 2015 / Notices 

Grant (NRSA) waivers, significant 

rebudgeting, 2nd and 3rd no cost 

extensions, and change of scope. These 

are all prior approvals as required by the 

NIH Grants Policy, and need to be 

reviewed and approved by the NHLBI. 

ePASS will provide a template to ensure 

that all specific points are addressed 

and documented in the official grant 

file. All information is submitted via the 

internet, tracked in ePASS, and the 

documentation will automatically be 

forwarded to the official grant file. The 

system will ensure that individuals 

authorized by the grantee are submitting 

requests and that the appropriate NIH 

staff is receiving the requests. The 

requests will be template driven so that 

the grantee is including the minimally 

required information, thus eliminating 

the usual back and forth to obtain 

missing information. Forms will have 

automatic fill-in capability that will 

reduce typos in grant numbers and PI 

names, further reducing approval time. 

Reminders will be sent to NIH staff 

within ePASS based on roles to ensure 

timely responses to the grantee. The 

system will facilitate email 

communication with applicants by 

automatic notifications when 

applications are received and when NIH 

has made a determination regarding a 

request (approval issued or request 

denied with explanation for denial). 

OMB approval is requested for 3 

years. There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annualized burden hours are 

470.

BILLING CODE 4140–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention 

Subcommittee on Procedures Review, 

Advisory Board on Radiation and 

Worker Health (ABRWH or Advisory 

Board), National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH) 

In accordance with section 10(a)(2) of 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(Pub. L. 92–463), the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC) 

announces the following meeting for the 

aforementioned subcommittee: 

Time and Date: 11:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., 

Eastern Standard Time, April 28, 2015. 

Place: Audio Conference Call via FTS 

Conferencing. 

Status: Open to the public. The public 

is welcome to submit written comments 

in advance of the meeting, to the contact 

person below. Written comments 

received in advance of the meeting will 

be included in the official record of the 

meeting. The public is also welcome to 

listen to the meeting by joining the 

teleconference at the USA toll-free, dialin number, 1–866–659–0537 and the 

passcode is 9933701. 

Background: The ABRWH was 

established under the Energy Employees 

Occupational Illness Compensation 

Program Act of 2000 to advise the 

President on a variety of policy and 

technical functions required to 

implement and effectively manage the 

compensation program. Key functions of 

the ABRWH include providing advice 

on the development of probability of 

causation guidelines that have been 

promulgated by the Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) as a 

final rule; advice on methods of dose 

reconstruction which have also been 

promulgated by HHS as a final rule; 

advice on the scientific validity and 

quality of dose estimation and 

reconstruction efforts being performed 

for purposes of the compensation 

program; and advice on petitions to add 

classes of workers to the Special 

Exposure Cohort (SEC). 

In December 2000, the President 

delegated responsibility for funding, 

staffing, and operating the Advisory 

Board to HHS, which subsequently 

delegated this authority to CDC. NIOSH 

implements this responsibility for CDC. 

The charter was issued on August 3, 

2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, 

and will expire on August 3, 2015. 

Purpose: The ABRWH is charged with 

(a) providing advice to the Secretary, 

HHS, on the development of guidelines 

under Executive Order 13179; (b) 

providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, 

on the scientific validity and quality of 

dose reconstruction efforts performed 

for this program; and (c) upon request 

by the Secretary, HHS, providing advice 

to the Secretary on whether there is a 

class of employees at any Department of 

Energy facility who were exposed to 

radiation but for whom it is not feasible 

to estimate their radiation dose, and on 

whether there is a reasonable likelihood 

that such radiation doses may have 

endangered the health of members of 

this class. The Subcommittee on 

Procedures Review was established to 

aid the ABRWH in carrying out its duty 

to advise the Secretary, HHS, on dose 

reconstructions. The Subcommittee on 

Procedures Review is responsible for 

overseeing, tracking, and participating 

in the reviews of all procedures used in 

the dose reconstruction process by the 

NIOSH Division of Compensation 

Analysis and Support (DCAS) and its 

dose reconstruction contractor (Oak 

Ridge Associated Universities—ORAU). 

Matters for Discussion: The agenda for 

the Subcommittee meeting includes: 

discussion of procedures in the 

following ORAU and DCAS technical 

documents: Procedures for 

reconstructing dose associated with 

potential skin contamination, ORAU 

Team Technical Information Bulletin 

(OTIB) 0034 (‘‘Internal Dose Coworker 

Data for X–10’’), OTIB 0054 (‘‘Fission 

and Activation Product Assignment for 

Internal Dose-Related Gross Beta and 

Gross Gamma Analyses’’), OTIB 0082 

(‘‘Dose Reconstruction Method for 

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia’’), 

Update on Review of ORAU Team 

Report 0053 (‘‘Stratified Co-Worker 

Sets’’); and a continuation of the 

comment-resolution process for other 

dose reconstruction procedures under 

review by the Subcommittee. 

The agenda is subject to change as 

priorities dictate.
