Agency Information Collection
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, 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: Maternal and Child
Health Bureau Performance Measures
for Discretionary Grants (OMB No.
0915–0298): Revision
The Maternal and Child Health
Bureau (MCHB) intends to continue to
collect performance data for Special
Projects of Regional and National
Significance (SPRANS), Community
Integrated Service Systems (CISS), and
other grant programs administered by
MCHB.
The Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) proposes to
continue using reporting requirements
for SPRANS projects, CISS projects, and
other grant programs administered by
MCHB, including national performance
measures, previously approved by OMB,
and in accordance with the
‘‘Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993’’ (Pub. L. 103–62).
This Act requires the establishment of
measurable goals for Federal programs
that can be reported as part of the
budgetary process, thus linking funding
decisions with performance.
Performance measures for MCHB
discretionary grants were initially
approved in January 2003. Approval
from OMB is being sought to continue
the use of these measures. Some of these
measures are specific to certain types of
programs, and will not apply to all
grantees. Furthermore, these measures
are based primarily on existing data,
thereby minimizing the response burden
consistent with program administration
and management needs. Through the
experience of utilizing these measures,
we are enhancing them to better reflect
program goals.
The estimated response burden is as
follows:

be sent within 30 days of this notice to
the desk officer for HRSA, either by email to OIRA submission@omb.eop.gov
or by fax to 202–395–6974. Please direct
all correspondence to the ‘‘attention of

National Library of Medicine (NLM), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) will
publish periodic summaries of proposed
projects to be submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval.
Proposed Collection: Title: Generic

collection [OMB No. 0925–0476,

Information Collection: Executive Order
12962 directed agencies that provide
significant services directly to the
public to survey customers to determine
the kind and quality of services they
want and their level of satisfaction with
existing services. Additionally, since
1994, the NLM has been a ‘‘Federal
Reinvention Laboratory’’ with a goal of
improving its methods of delivering
information to the public. An essential
strategy in accomplishing reinvention
goals is the ability to periodically
receive input and feedback from
customers about the design and quality
of the services they receive.
The NLM provides significant
services directly to the public including

health providers, researchers,
universities, other federal agencies, state
and local governments, and to others
through a range of mechanisms,
including publications, technical
assistance, and Web sites. These
services are primarily focused on health
and medical information dissemination
activities. The purpose of this
submission is to obtain OMB’s generic
approval to continue to conduct
satisfaction surveys of NLM’s
customers. The NLM will use the
information provided by individuals
and institutions to identify strengths
and weaknesses in current services and
to make improvements where feasible.
The ability to periodically survey NLM’s
customers is essential to continually
update and upgrade methods of
providing high quality service.
Frequency of Response: Annually or
biennially. Affected Public: Individuals
or households; businesses or other for
profit; State or local governments;
Federal agencies; non-profit institutions;
small businesses or organizations. Type
of Respondents: Organizations, medical
researchers, physicians and other health
care providers, librarians, students, and
the general public. The annual reporting
burden is as follows:
