Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 13, 2010 / Notices 62835 

approval from OMB to conduct 

customer surveys over the next three 

years. 

As part of a comprehensive program, 

the National Center for Health Statistics 

(NCHS) plans to continue to assess its 

customers’ satisfaction with the content, 

quality and relevance of the information 

it produces. NCHS will conduct 

voluntary customer surveys to assess 

strengths in agency products and 

services and to evaluate how well it 

addresses the emerging needs of its data 

users. Results of these surveys will be 

used in future planning initiatives. 

The data will be collected using a 

combination of methodologies 

appropriate to each survey. These may 

include: Evaluation forms, mail surveys, 

focus groups, automated and electronic 

technology (e.g., e-mail, Web-based 

surveys), and telephone surveys. 

Systematic surveys of several groups 

will be folded into the program. Among 

these are Federal customers and policy 

makers, state and local officials who 

rely on NCHS data, the broader 

educational, research, and public health 

community, and other data users. 

Respondents may include data users 

who register for and/or attend NCHS 

sponsored conferences; persons who 

access the NCHS Web site and the 

detailed data available through it; 

consultants; and others. Respondent 

data items may include (in broad 

categories) information regarding 

respondent’s gender, age, occupation, 

affiliation, location, etc., to be used to 

characterize responses only. Other 

questions will attempt to obtain 

information that will characterize the 

respondents’ familiarity with and use of 

NCHS data, their assessment of data 

content and usefulness, general 

satisfaction with available services and 

products, and suggestions for 

improvement of surveys, services and 

products. 

The resulting information will be for 

NCHS internal use. There is no cost to 

respondents other than their time to 

participate in the survey.

Proposed Project 

Economic Analysis of the National 

Breast and Cervical Cancer Early 

Detection Program—Revision—Division 

of Cancer Prevention and Control, 

National Center for Chronic Disease 

Prevention and Health Promotion 

(NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

CDC administers the National Breast 

and Cervical Cancer Early Detection 

Program (NBCCEDP), the largest 

organized cancer screening program in 

the United States. The NBCCEDP 

provides critical breast and cervical 

cancer screening services to uninsured 

and underserved low-income women in 

all 50 States, the District of Columbia, 

five U.S. territories, and 12 American 

Indian/Alaska Native organizations. The 

program provides breast and cervical 

cancer screening for eligible women 

who participate in the program as well 

as diagnostic procedures for women 

who have abnormal findings. During the 

past decade, the NBCCEDP has provided 

over 9.2 million breast and cervical 

cancer screening and diagnostic exams 

to over 3.7 million low-income women. 

Those who are diagnosed with cancer 

through the program are eligible for 

Medicaid coverage through the Breast 

and Cervical Cancer Prevention and 

Treatment Act passed by Congress in 

2000. 

In 2008, CDC received OMB approval 

to collect one year of activity-based 

economic cost data from NBCCEDP 

grantees. In 2009, CDC received OMB 

approval to collect two additional cycles 

of cost data for fiscal year 2009 (FY09) 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

62836 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 13, 2010 / Notices 

and fiscal year 2010 (FY10) (OMB No. 

0920–0776, exp. 03/31/2011). 

Respondents are the 68 programs 

participating in the NBCCEDP. 

Information is collected through a webbased Cost Assessment Tool (CAT) and 

includes: Staff and consultant salaries, 

screening costs, contracts and material 

costs, provider payments, in-kind 

contributions, administrative costs, 

allocation of funds and staff time 

devoted to specific program activities. 

CDC requests OMB approval for a sixmonth extension of the current approval 

period in order to complete the third 

year of data collection. Based on our 

experience with previous data 

collection cycles, 20 grantees (30% of 

the total 68 grantees) will not be able to 

meet the current data collection 

deadline of 3/31/2011. These programs 

will complete their fiscal year (FY) 

closeout process in April or May 2011. 

As a result, these programs will not be 

prepared to submit data to CDC until 

their FY is complete and records have 

been reconciled. The requested sixmonth extension period will provide the 

time they need to complete their 

closeout process and conduct data 

quality checks before submitting 

information to CDC. The requested sixmonth extension will improve the 

quality and completeness of information 

used for planned data analysis, and 

ensure CDC’s authority to receive late 

submissions. 

The activity-based cost data will be 

used to evaluate grantees to ensure the 

most appropriate use of limited program 

resources in delivering program services 

such as screening, diagnostic services, 

case management and outreach. The 

detailed cost data will allow CDC to 

determine the costs of various program 

components, identify factors that impact 

average cost, perform cost-effectiveness 

analysis and budget impact analysis of 

the program, and allocate program 

resources more effectively and 

efficiently. The collection of economic 

cost information complements the 

measures of NBCCEDP effectiveness 

collected as Minimum Data Elements 

(0920–0571, exp. 11/30/2012). 

In this Revision request, there are no 

proposed changes to the data collection 

instrument, data collection 

methodology, or the estimated burden 

per response. The only changes are a 

decrease in the estimated number of 

respondents (the number of late 

responders) and a six-month extension 

of the data collection period. All 

information is collected electronically. 

There are no costs to respondents other 

than their time.

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, e-mail 

paperwork@hrsa.gov or 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: Healthcare Integrity 

and Protection Data Bank for Final 

Adverse Information on Health Care 

Providers, Suppliers and Practitioners 

(45 CFR 61)—OMB No. 0915–0239— 

Revision 

This is a request for revision and 

extension of OMB approval of the 

information collections contained in 

regulations found in 45 CFR Part 61 

governing the Healthcare Integrity and 

Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) and the 

forms to be used in reporting 

information to and requesting 

information from the HIPDB cleared 

under OMB No. 0915–0239. An 

additional form entitled, ‘‘Instructions 

for Registering as an NPDB–HIPDB SelfQuerier,’’ has been included to meet 

identity proofing and e-authentication 

requirements stipulated in the E– 

Authentication Guidance for Federal 

Agencies (OMB M–04–04) and National 

Institutes of Standards and 

Technology’s (NIST) Draft Special 

Publication 800–63–1, Electronic 

Authentication Guidelines. The burden 

estimate for self-queriers has been 

adjusted from the original OMB 

approval to reflect this new registration 

process. The HIPDB is authorized by 

section 1128E of the Social Security Act 

(hereinafter referred to as section 

1128E), as added by section 221(a) of 

the Health Insurance Portability and 

Accountability Act of 1996. Section 

1128E directs the Secretary of Health 

and Human Services (the Secretary) to 

establish a national health care fraud 

and abuse data collection program for 

the reporting and disclosing of certain 

final adverse actions (excluding 

settlements in which no findings of 

liability have been made) taken against 

health care providers, suppliers, or 

practitioners. It also directs the 

Secretary to maintain a database of final 

adverse actions taken against health care 

providers, suppliers, or practitioners. 

The regulations implementing section 

1128E governing the operation of the 

HIPDB are codified at 45 CFR Part 61. 

The HIPDB became operational 

November 22, 1999. 

Approval is requested to continue the 

following reporting data collection and 

disclosure requirements and the ensuing 

HIPDB forms along with the 

instructions. The recordkeeping, 

reporting, and disclosure requirements 

are specified in the regulations to 

implement the HIPDB. Numbers in the 

table may not add up exactly due to 

rounding. Please note the burden for 

Administrative Forms has been 

accounted for in the NPDB OMB 

clearance renewal submission. 

The annual estimate of burden is as 

follows:
