Please cite OMB Control No. 3090–0205, Environmental Conservation, Occupational Safety, and Drug-Free Workplace, in all correspondence. ADDRESSES: 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. B. Annual Reporting Burden Respondents: 563. Responses per Respondent: 3. Hours per Response: 658. Total Burden Hours: 1111. Obtaining Copies of Proposals: Requesters may obtain a copy of the information collection documents from the General Services Administration, Regulatory Secretariat, 1800 F Street, NW., Room 4041, Washington, DC 20405, telephone (202) 501–4755.

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.

    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.
