validation specifications with respect to
the Part C and Part D reporting
requirements. These standards will
provide a review process for Medicare
Advantage Organizations (MAOs), Cost
Plans, and Part D sponsors to use to
conduct data validation checks on their
reported Part C and Part D data. Form

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes abstracts of information
collection requests under review by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB), in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of
the clearance requests submitted to
OMB for review, e-mail
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA
Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443–
1129.
The following request has been
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:
Proposed Project: Black Lung Clinics
Program Database (OMB No. 0915–
0292)—Revision
The Office of Rural Health Policy
(ORHP), Health Resources and Services
Administration, conducts an annual
data collection of user information for
the Black Lung Program. This has been
ongoing with OMB approval since 2004.
The purpose of the Black Lung Clinic
Program is to improve the health status
of coal workers by providing services to
minimize the effects of respiratory and
pulmonary impairments of coal miners,
treatment procedures required in the
management of problems associated
with black lung disease which improves
the quality of life or the miner and
reduces economic costs associated with
morbidity and mortality arising from
pulmonary diseases. The purpose of
collecting this data is to provide HRSA
with information on how well each
grantee is meeting the needs of active
and retired miners in the funded
communities.
Data from the annual report will
provide quantitative information about
the programs, specifically: (a) The
characteristics of the patients they serve
(gender, age, disability level, occupation
type); (b) the characteristics of services
provided (medical encounters, nonmedical encounters, benefits
counseling, or outreach); and (c) the
number of patients served. The annual
report will be updated to include a
qualitative measure on the percent of
patients that show improvement in
pulmonary function. This assessment
will provide data useful to the program
and will enable HRSA to provide data
required by Congress under the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993. It will also ensure that
funds are being effectively used to
provide services to meet the needs of
the target population.
There has been a modification to a
long term Black Lung performance
measures. The new measure will be the
evaluation of the quality of spirometry
performed by the clinic. The evaluation
of coal miners for the presence of
disabling pneumoconiosis depends on
well performed, valid and accurate lung
function testing. There is no additional
burden on the grantee to collect this
information since the grantees are
currently collecting this data.
The annual estimate of burden is as
follows:
