services for plan years (i.e., in the 

individual market, policy years) 

beginning on or after the date that is 1 

year from the Secretary’s adoption of the 

condition. 

ACHDNC also provides advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary 

concerning grants, projects and 

technical information to develop 

policies and priorities for grants, 

including those that will enhance the

agencies to provide for newborn and 

child screening, counseling, and health 

care services for newborns and children 

having or at risk for heritable disorders. 

ACHDNC meets four times each 

calendar year, or at the discretion of the 

Acting DFO in consultation with the 

Chair. 

Nominations: HRSA is requesting 

nominations for voting members to 

serve as Special Government Employees 

(SGEs) on the ACHDNC to fill two 

positions starting in 2023. The Secretary 

appoints ACHDNC members with the 

expertise needed to fulfill the duties of 

the Committee. The membership 

requirements are set forth in Title XI 

§ 1111(g), 42 U.S.C. 300b–10(g). 

Nominees sought are medical, technical, 

or scientific professionals with special 

expertise in the field of heritable

risk for having, heritable disorders; 

individuals who have expertise in ethics 

(e.g., bioethics) and infectious diseases 

and who have worked and published 

material in the area of newborn 

screening; members of the public having 

demonstrated expertise about or 

concern with heritable disorders; and/or 

representatives from such federal 

agencies, public health constituencies,

another individual or organization. 

Individuals selected for appointment 

to the Committee will be invited to 

serve for a term of up-to 4 years. 

Members appointed as SGEs receive a 

stipend and reimbursement for per diem

service on the Committee, as described 

above; (2) confirmation the nominee is 

willing to serve as a member of the

groups, as well as individuals with 

disabilities, are considered for 

membership. Appointments shall be

orientation, or cultural, religious, or 

socioeconomic status. 

Individuals selected for further 

consideration for appointment will be 

required to provide detailed information 

regarding their financial holdings, 

consultancies, and research grants or 

contracts. Disclosure of this information 

is required in order for HRSA ethics 

officials to determine whether there is a 

potential conflict of interest between the 

SGE’s public duties as a member of 

ACHDNC and their private interests, 

including an appearance of a loss of 

impartiality as defined by federal laws 

and regulations, and to identify any 

required remedial action needed to 

address the potential conflict.

Information Collection Request Title: 

Telehealth Resource Center (TRC) 

Performance Measurement Tool, OMB 

No. 0915–0361—Extension. 

Abstract: HRSA requests an extension 

of their TRC Performance Measurement 

Tool. The TRCs deliver telehealth 

technical assistance. There are two 

types of HRSA TRC programs: 

• Two National Telehealth Resource 

Center Programs focus on policy and 

technology. 

• Twelve Regional Telehealth 

Resource Center Programs host activities 

and provide resources to rural and 

underserved areas.

The HRSA TRCs: 

• Provide training and support, 

• Publicize information and research 

findings, 

• Support collaboration and 

partnerships, 

• Promote effective partnerships, and 

• Promote the use of telehealth by 

providing health care information and 

education to the public and medical 

specialists. 

The TRCs share expertise through 

individual consults, training, webinars, 

conference presentations, and the web. 

A 60-day notice published in the 

Federal Register, 87 FR 1421 (January 

11, 2022). There were no public 

comments. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: In order to evaluate 

existing programs, data are submitted to 

the Office for the Advancement of 

Telework (OAT) through HRSA’s 

Performance Improvement Management 

System (PIMS). The data are used to 

measure the effectiveness of the 

technical assistance. There is one data 

reporting period each year; during these 

reporting periods, data are reported for 

the previous 12 months of activity. 

Programs have approximately 6 weeks 

to enter their data into the PIMS system 

during each annual reporting period. 

The instrument was developed with 

the following four goals in mind: 

1. Improving access to needed 

services, 

2. Reducing rural and underserved 

population practitioner isolation, 

3. Improving health system 

productivity and efficiency, and 

4. Improving patient outcomes. 

The TRCs currently report on existing 

performance data elements using PIMS. 

The performance measures are designed 

to assess how the TRC program is 

meeting its goals to: 

• Expand the availability of telehealth 

services in underserved communities; 

• Improve the quality, efficiency, and 

effectiveness of telehealth services; 

• Promote knowledge exchange and 

dissemination about efficient and 

effective telehealth practices and 

technology; and 

• Establish sustainable technical 

assistance (TA) centers providing 

quality, unbiased TA for the 

development and expansion of effective 

and efficient telehealth services in 

underserved communities. 

Additionally, the PIMS tool allows 

OAT to: 

• Determine the value added from the 

TRC Cooperative Agreement; 

• Justify budget requests; 

• Collect uniform, consistent data 

which enables OAT to monitor 

programs; 

• Provide guidance to grantees on 

important indicators to track over time 

for their own internal program 

management; 

• Measure performance relative to the 

mission of OAT/HRSA as well as 

individual goals and objectives of the 

program; 

• Identify topics of interest for future 

special studies; and 

• Identify changes in health care 

needs within rural and underserved 

communities, allowing programs to shift 

focus in order to meet those needs. 

Likely Respondents: The likely 

respondents will be telehealth 

associations, telehealth providers, rural 

and underserved health providers, 

clinicians that deliver services via 

telehealth, TA providers, research 

organizations and academic medical 

centers. 

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.

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 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology to minimize the information 

collection burden.
