Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Health Resources 

and Services Administration (HRSA) 

publishes abstracts of information 

collection requests under review by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of 

the clearance requests submitted to 

OMB for review, call the HRSA Reports 

Clearance Office on (301) 443–1129. 

The following request has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: 

Proposed Project: Maternal and Child 

Health Bureau Performance Measures 

for Discretionary Grants (OMB No. 

0915–0298): Revision 

The Maternal and Child Health 

Bureau (MCHB) intends to continue to 

collect performance data for Special 

Projects of Regional and National 

Significance (SPRANS), Community 

Integrated Service Systems (CISS), and 

other grant programs administered by 

MCHB. 

The Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) proposes to 

continue using reporting requirements 

for SPRANS projects, CISS projects, and 

other grant programs administered by 

MCHB, including national performance 

measures, previously approved by OMB, 

and in accordance with the 

‘‘Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) of 1993’’ (Pub. L. 103–62). 

This Act requires the establishment of 

measurable goals for Federal programs 

that can be reported as part of the 

budgetary process, thus linking funding 

decisions with performance. 

Performance measures for MCHB 

discretionary grants were initially 

approved in January 2003. Approval 

from OMB is being sought to continue 

the use of these measures. Some of these 

measures are specific to certain types of 

programs, and will not apply to all 

grantees. Furthermore, these measures 

are based primarily on existing data, 

thereby minimizing the response burden 

consistent with program administration 

and management needs. Through the 

experience of utilizing these measures, 

we are enhancing them to better reflect 

program goals. 

The estimated response burden is as 

follows:

Written comments and 

recommendations concerning the 

proposed information collection should 

be sent within 30 days of this notice to 

the desk officer for HRSA, either by email to OIRA submission@omb.eop.gov 

or by fax to 202–395–6974. Please direct 

all correspondence to the ‘‘attention of 

the desk officer for HRSA.’’

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request; Generic Clearance to 

Conduct Voluntary Customer/Partner 

Surveys 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 to 

provide opportunity for public comment 

on proposed data collection projects, the 

National Library of Medicine (NLM), the 

National Institutes of Health (NIH) will 

publish periodic summaries of proposed 

projects to be submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and approval. 

Proposed Collection: Title: Generic 

Clearance to Conduct Voluntary 

Customer/Partner Surveys; Type of 

Information Collection Request: 

Extension of currently approved 

collection [OMB No. 0925–0476, 

expiration date 07/31/2009], Form 

Number: NA; Need and Use of 

Information Collection: Executive Order 

12962 directed agencies that provide 

significant services directly to the 

public to survey customers to determine 

the kind and quality of services they 

want and their level of satisfaction with 

existing services. Additionally, since 

1994, the NLM has been a ‘‘Federal 

Reinvention Laboratory’’ with a goal of 

improving its methods of delivering 

information to the public. An essential 

strategy in accomplishing reinvention 

goals is the ability to periodically 

receive input and feedback from 

customers about the design and quality 

of the services they receive. 

The NLM provides significant 

services directly to the public including 

health providers, researchers, 

universities, other federal agencies, state 

and local governments, and to others 

through a range of mechanisms, 

including publications, technical 

assistance, and Web sites. These 

services are primarily focused on health 

and medical information dissemination 

activities. The purpose of this 

submission is to obtain OMB’s generic 

approval to continue to conduct 

satisfaction surveys of NLM’s 

customers. The NLM will use the 

information provided by individuals 

and institutions to identify strengths 

and weaknesses in current services and 

to make improvements where feasible. 

The ability to periodically survey NLM’s 

customers is essential to continually 

update and upgrade methods of 

providing high quality service. 

Frequency of Response: Annually or 

biennially. Affected Public: Individuals 

or households; businesses or other for 

profit; State or local governments; 

Federal agencies; non-profit institutions; 

small businesses or organizations. Type 

of Respondents: Organizations, medical 

researchers, physicians and other health 

care providers, librarians, students, and 

the general public. The annual reporting 

burden is as follows:
