Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 220 / Thursday, November 13, 2008 / Notices
assistance programs for awards that
establish a Federal interest on real
property. Currently, there is no
regulatory requirement for real property
reporting. The related regulatory
requirement is being developed by OMB
and will be included in 2 CFR part 45.
Comment 11: The team received 2
comments from agencies and grantee
organizations concerning whether
legislative requirements will take
precedence over RPSR reporting
requirements.
Response: If there is a statutory or
regulatory basis for the agency’s
requirements, then those requirements
take precedence to the report.
Comment 12: The team received 1
comment questioning whether ‘‘Federal
interest’’ refers to real property and
improvements acquired with Federal
funds, and whether such interest would
continue to the end of any use
restrictions.
Response: Yes, Federal interest in real
property is obtained by virtue of the use
of Federal funding to acquire or improve
the property and, for real property
donated as required cost sharing or
matching, unless excluded by statute or
award terms. The related award
instrument should specify the terms and
duration of the Federal interest.
Comment 13: The team received 1
comment questioning the need for the
Federal Government to impose a
reporting requirement extending beyond
the grant period on property donated to
the Federal Government.
Response: The government acquires
an interest in the total project, including
any property recipients donate to the
project as required cost sharing or
matching. Through such donation, the
government acquires a financial interest
in the property, the value of which at
any given time is the product of:
a. The Federal share of the project
costs under the award; and
b. The current value of the property.
That interest remains until the
government releases its interest in the
property.
Comment 14: The team received 1
comment questioning whether ‘‘Tax
Credits’’ are Federal or not.
Response: This is a legal question that
individual agencies will need to
determine.
Comment 15: The team received 1
comment questioning whether agencies
will need to report on improvements to
real property in which the Federal
ownership is in question. For example:
improvements to real property erected
on Indian trust and allotted lands.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
This report will be used by Federal
agencies to collect information related
to real property when required by a
Federal financial assistance award.
Since this report will be used primarily
for reporting related to Federal financial
assistance awards, we are providing a
burden estimate for one respondent.
Respondents: Assistance recipients.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4 (per submission).
Estimated Cost: There is no expected
cost to the respondents or to OMB.

responses per

Instrument
Response: This is a legal question that
should be vetted by agency attorneys.
Comment 16: The team received 17
comments concerning the clarity of the
instructions.
Response: Where necessary, the team
revised the instruction language to
clarify the type of data requested.
Comment 17: The team received 5
comments on the burden estimate for
the report.
Response: The team reconsidered and
revised the burden estimate.
Comment 18: The team received 5
general comments not requiring action
or a response.

Proposed Project
Evaluation of the Field Triage
Decision Scheme: The National Trauma
Triage Protocol—New—Division of
Injury Response (DIR), National Center
for Injury Prevention and Control
(NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The ‘‘Field Triage Decision Scheme:
The National Trauma Triage Protocol’’
educational initiative was developed to
help emergency medical services (EMS)
professionals (administrators, medical
directors, trauma system leadership, and
providers) learn about and implement
the revised Field Triage Decision
Scheme. The Decision Scheme is
intended to be the foundation for the
development of local and regional field
triage protocols.
In the United States, injury is the
leading cause of death for persons aged
1–44 years. EMS professionals have a
substantial impact on care of the injured
and on public health. At an injury
scene, EMS professionals determine the
severity of injury, initiate medical
management, and identify the most
appropriate facility to which the patient
should be transported. This destination
decision is made through a process
After the national distribution, NCIPC
will conduct an online survey of EMS
professionals who have received a
toolkit to assess the short-term impact of
the communication initiative directed at
EMS professionals about field triage
procedures. Specifically, the survey will
assess how many EMS professionals
who received a copy of the Decision
Scheme are using it, how EMS
professionals have used the Decision
Scheme and accompanying toolkit
materials, how the materials have been
used to educate others, what EMS
professionals learned from the
materials, and how the Decision Scheme
changed EMS professional’s triage
practices. Survey results will be used to
identify the impact and applicability of
the Decision Scheme and toolkit
materials for EMS professionals.
NCIPC will also conduct focus groups
with a segment of the survey
respondents in order to have them
elaborate on data submitted through the
survey. These group interviews will
focus on the extent the Decision Scheme
is being used, how it is being
implemented, self-reported changes in
knowledge, and perceived impact on
treatment of trauma patients. There are
no costs to respondents other than their
time.
called field triage. Certain hospitals
have additional expertise, resources,
and equipment to treat severely injured
patients. These facilities are known as
trauma centers and are classified from
Level I to Level IV. The risk for death
of a severely injured person is 25%
lower if the patient receives care at a
Level I trauma center. However, not all
patients require the services of a Level
I trauma center; proper triage will
ensure that patients who are injured less
severely will be transported to a closer
emergency department that is capable of
managing their injuries.
In an effort to encourage use of
improved triage procedures, CDC’s
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC) worked with
experts and partner organizations to
develop the 2006 Field Triage Decision
Scheme. In support of the 2006 Field
Triage Decision Scheme, NCIPC
developed a multi-media toolkit aimed
at EMS professionals. The toolkit
includes A Guide to the Field Triage
Decision Scheme: The National Trauma
Triage Protocol, a poster, CD–ROM, and
pocket card to help EMS providers,
planners, and administrators effectively
train others and use the Decision
Scheme criteria within their own
systems.
