Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection:
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,
Public Law 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.

proposed project or to obtain copy of the

Awardee Application and Reporting
Tool (AART): (New)
The Awardee Application and
Reporting Tool (AART) will be an
online system allowing the 62 Awardees
participating in the National
Bioterrorism Hospital Preparedness
Program (NBHPP) to electronically
submit a continuing cooperative
agreement application (CAA), mid-year
progress report on annual activities, a
final report on annual activities and
progress indicator report to HRSA’s
Healthcare Systems Bureau, Division of
Healthcare Preparedness. The CAA will
be a standardized application consisting
Number of
respondents
Submission type
Responses
per
Respondent
of 16 Critical Benchmarks (CBM). For
each CBM, Awardees will be required to
provide a goal, objectives, and a budget
outlining how funding provided by
HRSA will be spent during the coming
year. On the mid-year progress report,
Awardees will indicate the progress
they have made toward each of the
objectives they noted on their CAA. For
the final report on annual activities,
Awardees will provide additional
details on how their objectives were
being achieved and how the program
monies were spent. On the progress
indicator report, Awardees will indicate
the progress they have made to date
toward achieving the program’s CBM.
Currently, the submission of the CAA
and progress reports is a manual process
by which Awardees submit paper-based
submissions or electronically transmit
text files to HRSA project officers (POs).
These files are then reviewed manually
and data analysis is difficult. The AART
system will provide POs with the ability
to review and approve applications,
review progress reports, and generate
reports online. In addition, the reporting
interface will allow HRSA to quickly
and efficiently analyze data, identify
trends, make timely program decisions,
and provide the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), Congress,
or other Agencies with any specific data
or metrics requested.
The burden estimate for Awardees to
complete and submit a submission is as
follows:
