DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS

[OMB Control No. 2900–0260]

Proposed Information Collection

Activity: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

AGENCY: Veterans Health

Administration, Department of Veterans

Affairs.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Veterans Health

Administration (VHA) is announcing an

opportunity for public comment on the

proposed collection of certain

information by the agency. Under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of

1995, Federal agencies are required to

publish notice in the Federal Register

concerning each proposed collection of

information, including each proposed

extension of a currently approved

collection, and allow 60 days for public

comment in response to the notice. This

notice solicits comments on the need to

obtain written consent from a patient to

disclose his or her medical record to

private insurance companies,

physicians and other third party.

DATES: Written comments and

recommendations on the proposed

collection of information should be

received on or before August 3, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments

on the collection of information to Ann

Bickoff, Veterans Health Administration

(193B1), Department of Veterans Affairs,

810 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington,

DC 20420 or e-mail

ann.bickoff@mail.va.gov. Please refer to

‘‘OMB Control No. 2900–0260’’ in any

correspondence.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann

Bickoff at (202) 273–8310.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

PRA of 1995 (Public Law 104–13; 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. This request for comment is

being made pursuant to Section

3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA.

With respect to the following

collection of information, VHA invites

comments on: (1) Whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of VHA’s

functions, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(2) the accuracy of VHA’s estimate of

the burden of the proposed collection of

information; (3) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (4)

ways to minimize the burden of the

collection of information on

respondents, including through the use

of automated collection techniques or

the use of other forms of information

technology.

Title: Request for and Consent to

Release of Medical Records Protected by

38 U.S.C. 7332, VA Form 10–5345.

OMB Control Number: 2900–0260.

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: VA Form 10–5345 is used to

obtain prior written consent from a

patient before information concerning

treatment for alcoholism or alcohol

abuse, drug abuse, sickle cell anemia, or

infection with the human

immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be

disclosed from his or her medical

record. This special consent must

indicate the name of the facility

permitted to make the disclosure, name

of the individual or organization to

whom the information is being released,

specify the particular records or

information to be released, and be under

the signature of the veteran. It must

reflect the purpose the information is to

be used, and include a statement that

the consent is subject to revocation and

the date, event or condition upon which

the consent will expire if not revoked

before.

VA personnel complete 50 percent of

the form and the patient completes the

remaining 50 percent. If VA did not

collect this information, the information

could not be released from the patients

records. This would have a negative

impact on patients who need and want

information released to private

insurance companies, physicians and

other third parties.

Affected Public: Business or other for

profit and Individuals or households.

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

10,867 hours.

Estimated Average Burden Per

Respondent: 2 minutes.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

326,000.

Dated: May 23, 2001.
