Proposed Project: Application for the
National Health Service Corps (NHSC)
Clinician Retention Information: New
Collection
The National Health Service Corps
(NHSC) of the Bureau of Health
Professions (BHPr), HRSA, is committed
to improving the health of the Nation’s
underserved by uniting communities in
need with caring health professionals
and by supporting communities’ efforts
to build better systems of care.
The NHSC is responsible for
collecting data on its programs to ensure
compliance with legislative mandates
and to report to Congress and
policymakers on program
accomplishments. One of the most
important statistics reported to Congress
and policymakers is the retention rate of
NHSC supported clinicians serving in
an underserved area. The following
information will be collected three
months prior to the completion of
obligated service: (1) Verification of
current contact information; (2) if
employment is to be continued at the
same NHSC site; (3) if the clinician
moved from the NHSC service site but
plans to continue practicing in an
underserved area, and (4) the primary
reason for stopping practice in an
underserved area, if applicable.
The estimated burden is as follows:

Proposed Project: Data Collection
Tool for the Black Lung Clinics Program
(OMB No. 0915–0292): Revision
The Office of Rural Health Policy
(ORHP), Health Resources and Services
Administration, conducts an annual
data collection of user information for
the Black Lung Clinics Program. The
purpose of the Black Lung Clinics
Program is to improve the health status
of coal workers by providing services to
minimize the effects of respiratory and
pulmonary impairments of coal miners.
Grantees provide specific diagnostic and
treatment procedures required in the
management of problems associated
with black lung disease which improves
the quality of life of the miner and
reduces economic costs associated with
morbidity and mortality arising from
pulmonary diseases. The purpose of
collecting this data is to provide HRSA
with information on how well each
grantee is meeting the needs of active
and retired miners in the funded
communities.
Data from the annual report will
provide quantitative information about
the programs, specifically: (a) The
characteristics of the patients they serve
(gender, age, disability level, occupation
type); (b) the characteristics of services
provided (medical encounters, nonmedical encounters, benefits
counseling, or outreach); and (c) the
number of patients served. The annual
report will be updated to include a
qualitative measure on the percent of
patients that show improvement in
pulmonary function. This assessment
will provide data useful to the program
and will enable HRSA to provide data
required by Congress under the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993. It will also ensure that
funds are being effectively used to
provide services to meet the needs of
the target population.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Section 372 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act requires that the
Secretary, by contract, provide for the
establishment and operation of an Organ
Procurement and Transplantation
Network (OPTN). The OPTN, among
other responsibilities, operates and
maintains a national waiting list of
individuals requiring organ transplants,
maintains a computerized system for
matching donor organs with transplant
candidates on the waiting list, and
operates a 24-hour system to facilitate
matching organs with individuals
included in the list.

Frm 00115
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Data for the OPTN data system are
collected from transplant hospitals,
organ procurement organizations, and
tissue-typing laboratories. The
information is used to indicate the
disease severity of transplant
candidates, to monitor compliance of
member organizations with OPTN rules
and requirements, and to report
periodically on the clinical and
scientific status of organ donation and
transplantation in this country. Data are
used to develop transplant, donation
and allocation policies, to determine if
institutional members are complying
with policy, to determine member
specific performance, to ensure patient
safety when no alternative sources of
data exist and to fulfill the requirements
of the OPTN Final Rule. The practical
utility of the data collection is further
enhanced by requirements that the
OPTN data must be made available,
consistent with applicable laws, for use
by OPTN members, the Scientific
Registry of Transplant Recipients, the
Department of Health and Human
Services, and others for evaluation,
research, patient information, and other
important purposes.
Revisions in the 26 data collection
forms are intended to implement
approved reduction in data collection
for candidates and recipients, to provide
additional information specific to
pediatric patients, and to clarify existing
questions.
