reporting requirements, records 

retention requirements, and submit 

annual surveillance plans and annually 

report surveillance results. 

In the Permanent Certification 

Program final rule (76 FR 1312–14), we 

solicited public comment on each of the 

information collections associated with 

the requirements described in regulation 

at 45 CFR 170.503(b), 170.520, and 

170.523(f), (g), and (i), respectively. In 

the ‘‘2014 Edition’’ final rule (77 FR 

54275–76), we sought comment on these 

collection requirements again and on 

the information collection requirement 

at § 170.523(f)(8). 

We anticipate that there will continue 

to be three ONC–ACBs participating in 

the ONC HIT Certification Program as 

this is the current number of ONC– 

ACBs. Therefore, we have aligned the 

estimated number of respondents for the 

applicable regulation provisions (i.e., 

§§ 170.523(f), 170.523(i), and 

170.540(c)) with the current number of 

ONC–ACBs. We have also revised the 

estimated number of respondents for 

§ 170.520 (new applicants for ONC–ACB 

status) based on past application and 

authorization processes for ONC–ACBs. 

Similarly, we have revised the estimated 

number of respondents for § 170.503(b) 

(applicants for ONC–AA status) based 

on past selection processes for the 

ONC–AA. We have retained the same 

number of responses per respondent 

and average burden hours per response 

for the regulation provisions previously 

included in OMB control number 0995– 

0013.

OS specifically request comments on (1) 

the necessity and utility of the proposed 

information collection for the proper 

performance of the agency’s functions, 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected, and (4) the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology to 

minimize the information collection 

burden.
