To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of data collection plans and instruments, call the CDC Reports Clearance Officer on 404–639–5960 or send comments to CDC Assistant Reports Clearance Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS D–74, Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to omb@cdc.gov. combined across two years. This increase will greatly improve the ability to track providers’ practice patterns, including their adoption and meaningful use of health information technology (HIT). Congress may approve all, some or none of the budget increase requested in the President’s budget. If approved, this notice would allow the proposed request for a sample increase to move forward to OMB for final review in sufficient time to implement the sample increase in the first quarter of 2011. This notice also covers increases in sample size that might result due to other budget allocations. NAMCS was conducted annually from 1973 to 1981, again in 1985, and resumed as an annual survey in 1989. The purpose of NAMCS, a voluntary survey, is to meet the needs and demands for statistical information about the provision of ambulatory medical care services in the United States. Ambulatory services are rendered in a wide variety of settings, including physicians’ offices and hospital outpatient and emergency departments. The NAMCS target universe consists of all office visits made by ambulatory patients to nonFederal office-based physicians (excluding those in the specialties of anesthesiology, radiology, and pathology) who are engaged in direct patient care. In 2006, physicians and mid-level providers (i.e., nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and nurse midwives) practicing in community health centers (CHCs) were added to the NAMCS sample, and these data will continue to be collected. To complement NAMCS data, NCHS initiated the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS, OMB No. 0920–0278) in 1992 to provide data concerning patient visits to hospital outpatient and emergency departments. NAMCS and NHAMCS are the principal sources of data on ambulatory care provided in the United States. A three-year clearance is requested. There is no cost to the respondents other than their time. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this notice.

Background and Brief Description Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the utilization of health care provided by nonfederal officebased physicians in the United States. On February 26, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved data collection for three years. This revision is to notify the public that the President’s fiscal year 2011 budget requests that Congress consider a budget increase for this survey for 2011. If the budget increase is approved by Congress, expanded data collection will begin in the first calendar quarter of 2011 or as soon thereafter as is possible. An increased sample size of approximately 6,800 physicians and 60,000 visit records (a doubling from 3,400 physicians and 30,000 visit records sampled in 2010) is requested. Currently the NAMCS produces national and regional estimates.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denver Presley Jr., Office of Information Management, Food and Drug Administration, 1350 Piccard Dr., PI50– 400B, Rockville, MD 20850, 301–796– 3793. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, FDA invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA’s functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the Total burden hours 18,010 information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of information technology. ‘‘Antiparasitic Drug Survey’’ (OMB Control Number 0910–NEW) Resistance of parasites to one or more of the major classes of FDA approved antiparasitic drugs is a documented problem in cattle, horses, sheep, and goats in the United States. Further, FDA is aware that there are differing scientific opinions on the impact of the use of multiple antiparasitic drugs at the same time on the development of resistance to these drugs. The results from this survey will assist FDA in regulating antiparasitic drugs. FDA will also share their results with the veterinary parasitology community. FDA plans to survey scientists and veterinarians with expertise in veterinary parasitology using a webbased tool. The questions in the survey are designed to elicit expert opinions and clarify areas of agreement and disagreement within the veterinary parasitology community. The survey will query subjects on topics such as: (1) Concurrent use of multiple antiparasitic drug products, (2) recommended tests to detect and monitor for antiparasitic resistance, (3) characteristics of combination antiparasitic drug products that may either slow or enhance the selection for multi-drug resistant parasites, and (4) regulatory considerations regarding combination antiparasitic drugs. FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: TABLE 1.—ESTIMATED ANNUAL REPORTING BURDEN1 Portion of Study No. of respondents jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES Pre-test Annual Frequency per response Total Annual Responses Hours per Response 5 1 5 .33 1.65 100 Survey 1 100 .33 .33 Total 1 There Total Hours 34.65 are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

Proposed Project

    National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), (OMB No. 0920-0234 
exp. 7/31/2012)--Revision--National Center for Health Statistics 
(NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    Section 306 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 
242k), as amended, authorizes that the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (DHHS), acting through NCHS, shall collect statistics on the 
utilization of health care provided by nonfederal office-based 
physicians in the United States.
    On February 26, 2010, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approved data collection for three years. This revision is to notify 
the public that the President's fiscal year 2011 budget requests that 
Congress consider a budget increase for this survey for 2011. If the 
budget increase is approved by Congress, expanded data collection will 
begin in the first calendar quarter of 2011 or as soon thereafter as is 
possible. An increased sample size of approximately 6,800 physicians 
and 60,000 visit records (a doubling from 3,400 physicians and 30,000 
visit records sampled in 2010) is requested. Currently the NAMCS 
produces national and regional estimates. If the full budget increase 
is approved by Congress, the survey will be able to produce the same 
estimates as it does currently as well as data on a limited number of 
states when data are combined across two years. This increase will 
greatly improve the ability to track providers' practice patterns, 
including their adoption and meaningful use of health information 
technology (HIT).
    Congress may approve all, some or none of the budget increase 
requested in the President's budget. If approved, this notice would 
allow the proposed request for a sample increase to move forward to OMB 
for final review in sufficient time to implement the sample increase in 
the first quarter of 2011. This notice also covers increases in sample 
size that might result due to other budget allocations.
    NAMCS was conducted annually from 1973 to 1981, again in 1985, and 
resumed as an annual survey in 1989. The purpose of NAMCS, a voluntary 
survey, is to meet the needs and demands for statistical information

of data on ambulatory care provided in the United States. A three-year 
clearance is requested.
    There is no cost to the respondents other than their time.
