Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 98 / Friday, May 22, 2009 / Notices
when determining appropriate remedies
for the EPA case.
III. Conclusion
There is a critically important need
for our country to address global climate
change and to reduce oil consumption.
In this context, EPA and NHTSA
currently intend to work in coordination
to propose standards for control of
emissions of greenhouse gases and for
fuel economy, respectively. The EPA
and the NHTSA plan to propose a strong
and coordinated Federal greenhouse gas
and fuel economy program for MY 2012
through 2016 passenger cars, light-duty
trucks, and medium-duty passenger
vehicles, as described above. Both
agencies seek to propose a coordinated
program that can achieve important
reductions of greenhouse gas GHG
emissions and improvements in fuel
economy from the light-duty vehicle
part of the transportation sector, based
on technology that will be commercially
available and that can be incorporated at
a reasonable cost.
The agencies anticipate issuing a joint
proposal in the near future, and
welcome robust public participation in
the rulemaking process.

Proposed Project: Facts for Consumers
about Health IT Service Providers—
OMB No. 0990–NEW—OS/Office of the
National Coordinator for Health
Information Technology (ONC).
Abstract: A new health information
technology, the personal health record
(PHR), seeks to provide consumers with
the capability to directly manage their
own health information. Although PHRs
can exist in different formats or media
(i.e., paper or electronic), the term
usually refers to an online record
containing an individual’s personal
health information. PHRs typically
include information such as health
history, vaccinations, allergies, test
results, and prescription information.
Given the newness of the electronic
PHR concept, the different ways to
establish PHRs, and the sensitivity of
personal health information, ONC is
taking steps to establish that useful facts
about PHRs and PHR privacy policy
information be made available to
consumers so they can make informed
decisions about selecting and using
PHRs. Toward this end, ONC has a
project to develop an online model for
PHR providers. The model will be
developed to:
› Allow presentation of important
PHR facts and policies to consumers,
› Allow consumers to understand
and consistently compare PHR service
provider policies with others, and
› Focus on the key information that
may influence decisions and choices of
PHR service provider.
The project includes iterative rounds
of in-depth consumer testing during
April–October 2009 to assess and
analyze consumer understanding and
input about the model. The model will
be iteratively revised to design a final
template that will allow PHR vendors to
convey useful and understandable facts
to consumers about their privacy,
security, and information management
policies. Testing will be conducted in
six locations that cover the four
geographic census regions and will
include 90-minute, one-on-one,
cognitive usability interviews with six
to seven participants at each of six sites,
for a total not to exceed 42 interviews.
In addition, each participant will have
been recruited through a 15-minute
screening interview. The participants
will be recruited according to U.S.
census statistics for race/ethnicity, age,
marital status, gender, and income.
Also, the sample will include
participants both familiar and
unfamiliar with PHRs and participants
who manage chronic health issues or a
disease for themselves or others.

Proposed Project: Adolescent Family
Life Care and Prevention End of Year
Report Templates (Revision) OMB No.
0990–0299, Office of Adolescent
Pregnancy Programs (OAPP).
Abstract: OAPP is proposing to revise
the current OMB approved Adolescent
Family Life Care and Prevention End of
Year Report Templates. The current
OMB approval is applicable through
May 31, 2009. All AFL grantees are
required by their Notice of Grant
Awards to submit an end of year report
once per year. The current End of Year
Report templates provide a degree of
standardization across the AFL grantees,
allowing for more complete data
collection by OAPP for program
assessment.
OAPP is also proposing to consolidate
0990–0300–AFL Prevention Project End
of Year Report Template ICR and 0990–
0299–AFL Care and Prevention End of
Year Report Templates ICR. After the
approval by OMB on 0990–0299 ICR,
OAPP will eliminate 0990–0300. This
action will reduce the redundancy
across ICRs and lessen the number of
burden hours reported by including
both templates under one ICR (0990–
0299).
The original title will be changed to
Adolescent Family Life End of the Year
Report Template.
