SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
A. Purpose
The Federal Hazardous Substance Act
and Hazardous Material Transportation
Act prescribe standards for packaging of
hazardous substances. To meet the
requirements of the Acts, the General
Services Administration Regulation
prescribes clause 552.223–72,
Hazardous Material Information, to be
inserted in solicitations and contracts
that provides for delivery of hazardous
materials on an f.o.b. origin basis. This
information collection will be
accomplished by means of the clause,
which requires the contractor to identify
for each National Stock Number the
DOT Shipping Name, DOT Hazards
Class, and whether the item requires a
DOT label. Contracting Officers and
technical personnel use the information
to monitor and ensure contract
requirements based on law and
regulation. Properly identified and
labeled items of hazardous material
allows for appropriate handling of such
items throughout GSA’s supply chain
system. The information is used in GSA
warehouses, stored in an NSN database
and provided to GSA customers. NonCollection and/or a less frequently
conducted collection of the information
resulting from Clause 552.223–72 would
prevent the Government from being
properly notified and prepared for
arrival and storage of items containing
hazardous material. Government
activities may be hindered from
apprising their employees of; (1) All
hazards to which they may be exposed;
(2) Relative symptoms and appropriate
emergency treatment; and (3) Proper
conditions and precautions for safe use
and exposure.

Proposed Project: The Hospital
Preparedness Program—Revision—OMB
No. 0990–0326–OS—Assistant Secretary
for Preparedness and Response (ASPR).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Preparedness and
Response (ASPR), Division of
Healthcare Preparedness Program (HPP)
and the State and Local Initiative—
Program Evaluation Section (SLI–PES),
is proposing a Web-based reporting
system to gather critical information and
data from the 62 Awardees participating
in the National Bioterrorism Hospital
Preparedness Program (NBHPP).
The reporting system will capture
information related on performance
measures, critical benchmarks, minimal
levels of readiness, program statistics,
policies and procedures, surge capacity
elements, surge capacity as measured by
exercises, and other pertinent
information for programmatic fiscal
management, improvement and tracking
performance. The data submitted to HPP
will be gathered for mid-year reports
and end of year reports on annual
activities and progress.
Awardees will indicate the progress
made toward each of the financial and
programmatic objectives noted on their
cooperative agreement application
(CAA) on the mid-year progress report.
The end of year report on annual
activities will require Awardees to
provide additional details on objective
achievement and budget/fiscal
management. The end of year report
will also require Awardees to present
improvements made toward achieving
the program’s critical benchmarks.
In addition, the reporting will
increase ASPR’s ability to quickly and
efficiently analyze data, identify trends,
make timely program decisions, and
provide the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), Congress, and
other Operating Divisions with data and
information.
