Technology Advisory Committee 

(HITAC) Nominations 

AGENCY: U.S. Government 

Accountability Office (GAO). 

ACTION: Request for letters of 

nomination and resumes. 

SUMMARY: The 21st Century Cures Act 

established HITAC to provide 

recommendations to the National 

Coordinator for Health Information 

Technology on policies, standards, 

implementation specifications, and 

certification criteria relating to the 

implementation of a health information 

technology infrastructure that advances 

the electronic access, exchange, and use 

of health information. The Act gave the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States responsibility for appointing a 

portion of HITAC’s members. The Act 

requires that members at least reflect 

providers, ancillary health care workers, 

consumers, purchasers, health plans, 

health information technology 

developers, researchers, patients, 

relevant Federal agencies, and 

individuals with technical expertise on 

health care quality, system functions, 

privacy, security, and on the electronic 

exchange and use of health information, 

including the use standards for such 

activity. GAO is now accepting 

nominations for HITAC appointments 

that will be effective January 1, 2022. 

From these nominations, GAO expects 

to appoint at least 5 new HITAC 

members, focusing especially on health 

care providers, ancillary health care 

workers, health information technology 

developers, and patient advocates. 

Nominations should be sent to the email 

address listed below. Acknowledgement 

of submissions will be provided within 

a week of submission. 

DATES: Letters of nomination and 

resumes should be submitted no later 

than August 24, 2021, to ensure

a proposed and/or continuing 

information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

This notice invites comment on a 

proposed information collection project 

titled the National Hospital Care Survey

assess patient care in hospital-based 

settings, and to describe patterns of 

health care delivery and utilization in 

the United States. 

DATES: CDC must receive written

2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

0069 by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to the OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses; and 

5. Assess information collection costs.
