Background and Brief Description Congress passed the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, which requires specific activities related to bioterrorism preparedness and response. This congressional mandate outlines the need for improving the overall public’s health through electronic surveillance. PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Department of Health and Human Services outlined strategies aimed at achieving this goal via the Public Health IT Initiative thereby creating the BioSense program. BioSense is a national, human health surveillance system designed to improve the nation’s capabilities for disease detection, monitoring, and realtime health situational awareness. This work is enhanced by providing public health real-time access to existing data from healthcare organizations, state syndromic surveillance systems, national laboratories, and others for just in time public health decisionmaking; this information is made available to users in the BioSense Application. The application provides data, charts, graphs, and maps through a secure Webbased interface which can be accessed by CDC and authorized users from state and local public health departments and healthcare organizations. In order to meet the congressional mandate, the BioSense program must have access to electronic health data. Recruitment of data sources includes collecting information on the types of data available, the types of computer systems used, and the approximate record volume. This information is used by BioSense personnel and contractors to determine technical requirements for linking a data source into the BioSense program. To collect this information, a series of questionnaires in an Excel spreadsheet have been designed. Information collection will take place during and after on-site visits by BioSense personnel and contractors. We estimate that such information will be collected from 20 new entities (each representing many facilities or clinics) each year. Since the publication of the 60-day Federal Register Notice, the information collection instrument for the provision of access to the BioSense Application has been included in this information collection request. Access to the BioSense Application is obtained using an automated data collection form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Project Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 2010–2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Insurance Component Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request AHRQ seeks to renew the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Insurance Component (MEPS–IC) for calendar years 2010 and 2011. The MEPS–IC, an annual survey of the characteristics of employer-sponsored health insurance, was first conducted by AHRQ in 1997 for the calendar year 1996. The survey has since been conducted annually for calendar years 1996 through 2009, except for 2007. A change from prior year collection to calendar year collection in 2008 meant that no data were collected for the 2007 calendar year, but the change has allowed for much earlier release of the survey results for the 2008 calendar year forward. AHRQ is authorized to conduct the MEPS–IC pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 299b–2. Employment-based health insurance is the source of coverage for over 90 million workers and their family members, and is a cornerstone of the current U.S. health care system.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the intention of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approve the proposed information collection project: ‘‘2010– 2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Insurance Component.’’ In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A), AHRQ invites the public to comment on this proposed information collection. This proposed information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on June 16th, 2009 and allowed 60 days for public comment. No comments were received.

Proposed Project

    BioSense--Recruitment of Data Sources--Existing Data Collection 
Without an OMB Number--National Center for Public Health Informatics 
(NCPHI), Coordinating Center for Health Information and Service 
(CCHIS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Congress passed the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism 
Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, which requires specific 
activities related to bioterrorism preparedness and response. This 
congressional mandate outlines the need for improving the overall 
public's health through electronic surveillance. The Department of 
Health and Human Services outlined strategies aimed at achieving this 
goal via the Public Health IT Initiative thereby creating the BioSense 
program.
    BioSense is a national, human health surveillance system designed 
to improve the nation's capabilities for disease detection, monitoring, 
and real-time health situational awareness. This work is enhanced by 
providing public health real-time access to existing data from 
healthcare organizations, state syndromic surveillance systems, 
national laboratories, and others for just in time public health 
decisionmaking; this information is made available to users in the 
BioSense Application. The application provides data, charts, graphs, 
and maps through a secure Web-based interface which can be accessed by 
CDC and authorized users from state and local public health departments 
and healthcare organizations.
    In order to meet the congressional mandate, the BioSense program 
must have access to electronic health data. Recruitment of data sources 
includes collecting information on the types of data available, the 
types of computer systems used, and the approximate record volume. This 
information is used by BioSense personnel and contractors to determine 
technical requirements for linking a data source into the BioSense 
program. To collect this information, a series of questionnaires in an 
Excel spreadsheet have been designed. Information collection will take 
place during and after on-site visits by BioSense personnel and 
contractors. We estimate that such information will be collected from 
20 new entities (each representing many facilities or clinics) each 
year.
    Since the publication of the 60-day Federal Register Notice, the 
information collection instrument for the provision of access to the 
BioSense Application has been included in this information collection 
request. Access to the BioSense Application is obtained using an 
automated data collection form. This form is completed on the Internet 
via the CDC Secure Data Network (SDN) in which a prospective user 
identifies what

activities are requested. Potential users must request and receive 
permission to view the BioSense Application. Federal rules mandate that 
this permission be renewed each year. We estimate about 800 users per 
year will need to request new or continued access to the BioSense 
Application.
    There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 147 hours.
