Application Form and Related Forms

Index, (OMB No. 0920–0215, Expiration 

12/31/2010)—Extension—National 

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C.), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on the extent and nature of 

illness and disability of the population 

of the United States. 

The National Death Index (NDI) is a 

national data base containing 

identifying death record information 

submitted annually to NCHS by all the 

state vital statistics offices, beginning 

with deaths in 1979. Searches against 

the NDI file provide the states and dates 

of death, and the death certificate 

numbers of deceased study subjects. 

Using the NDI Plus service, 

researchers have the option of also 

receiving cause of death information for 

deceased subjects, thus reducing the 

need to request copies of death 

certificates from the states. The NDI 

Plus option currently provides the 

International Classification of Disease 

(ICD) codes for the underlying and 

multiple causes of death for the years 

1979–2007. Health researchers must 

complete administrative forms in order 

to apply for NDI services, and submit 

records of study subjects for computer 

matching against the NDI file. A threeyear clearance is requested. There is no 

cost to respondents except for their 

time. The total estimated annual burden 

hours are 182.

Proposed Project 

Assessment and Monitoring of 

Breastfeeding-Related Maternity Care 

Practices in Intra-partum Care Facilities 

in the United States and Territories 

(OMB Control No. 0920–0743, Exp. 10/ 

31/2010)—Revision—National Center 

for Chronic Disease Prevention and 

Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Substantial evidence demonstrates the 

health benefits of breastfeeding. 

Breastfeeding mothers have lower risks 

of breast and ovarian cancers and type 

2 diabetes, and breastfeeding better 

protects infants against infections, 

chronic diseases like diabetes and 

obesity, and even childhood leukemia 

and sudden infant death syndrome 

(SIDS). However, the groups that are at 

higher risk for diabetes, obesity, and 

poor health overall persistently have the 

lowest breastfeeding rates. Public health 

priorities for the U.S. include increasing 

the overall rate of breastfeeding, and 

reducing variation in breastfeeding rates 

across population subgroups. 

The health care system is one of the 

most important and effective settings to 

improve breastfeeding. In 2007, CDC 

conducted the first national survey of 

Maternity Practices in Infant Nutrition 

and Care (known as the mPINC Survey) 

in health care facilities (hospitals and 

free-standing childbirth centers) to 

provide baseline information. The 

survey was designed to provide baseline 

information and to be repeated again 

every two years. The second iteration of 

the survey was conducted in 2009. The 

survey inquired about patient education 

and support for breastfeeding 

throughout the maternity stay as well as 

staff training and maternity care 

policies. Each responding organization 

received a customized Benchmark 

Report as well as other feedback to use 

in self-assessment and quality 

improvement activities. 

CDC proposes to repeat the mPINC in 

2011 using previously fielded questions 

and methodology. In addition to all 

facilities that participated in 2007 or 

2009, the 2011 survey will include those 

that were invited but did not participate 

in 2007 or 2009 and any that are new 

since then. All birth centers and 

hospitals with ≥1 registered maternity 

bed will be screened via a brief phone 

call to assess their eligibility, identify 

additional locations, and identify the 

appropriate point of contact.

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 185 / Friday, September 24, 2010 / Notices 58395 

A major goal of the 2011 survey is to 

be fully responsive to respondents’ 

needs for information and technical 

assistance. CDC will again provide 

customized benchmark reports to 

respondents and document progress 

since 2009 on their quality 

improvement efforts. National and state 

reports will use de-identified data to 

describe incremental changes in 

practices and care processes over time at 

the facility, state, and national levels. 

Participation in the survey is 

voluntary, and responses may be 

submitted by mail or through a webbased system. There are no costs to 

respondents other than their time. The 

total estimated annualized burden hours 

are 1,686.

Comment Request 

In compliance with the requirement 

for opportunity for public comment on 

proposed data collection projects 

(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United 

States Code, as amended by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. 

L. 104–13), the Health Resources and 

Services Administration (HRSA) 

publishes periodic summaries of 

proposed projects being developed for 

submission to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. To request more 

information on the proposed project or 

to obtain a copy of the data collection 

plans and draft instruments, email 

paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA 

Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443–

Comments are invited on: (a) The 

proposed collection of information for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the Agency; (b) the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information

Proposed Project: Health Center 

Controlled Networks Progress Reports 

(OMB No. 0915–0315)—Revision 

The Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) collects network 

outcome measures, conducts evaluation 

of those measures, and has an electronic 

reporting system for the following types 

of grantees: Health Information 

Technology Planning Grants, Electronic 

Health Record Implementation Health 

Center Controlled Networks, Health 

Information Technology Innovations for 

Health Center Controlled Networks, and 

High Impact Electronic Health Records 

Implementation for Health Center 

Controlled Networks and Large Multi 

Site Health Centers. In order to help 

carry out its mission, HRSA created a 

set of performance measures that 

grantees use to evaluate the 

effectiveness of their service programs 

and monitor their progress through the 

use of performance reporting data. 

Grantees report to HRSA on their 

grants to accomplish the following 

goals: increase access to needed data 

and services; improve quality, efficiency 

and effectiveness of network services; 

and enhance ability to track and 

monitor patient outcomes. Grantees 

submit their Progress Reports in a midyear report and an accumulative annual 

progress report each fiscal year of the 

grant. These grants are on three year 

project periods. For HRSA grantees, 

there is no increase in burden. The 

hours per response has not changed. 

The number of grantees increased from 

40 to 109.
