Agency Information Collection
Request. 30-Day Public Comment
Request
Office of the Secretary, HHS.
In compliance with the requirement
of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Office of the Secretary (OS), Department
of Health and Human Services, is
publishing the following summary of a
proposed collection for public
comment. Interested persons are invited
to send comments regarding this burden
estimate or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
AGENCY:
and is supportive of HHS Strategic Goal
1: Health Care, objective 1.3: Improve
health care quality, safety, cost, and
value. Each Regional Center is required
to plan and implement the outreach,
education and technical assistance
necessary to meet the objective of
assisting providers in its geographic
service area to achieve meaningful use
of electronic health records (EHR). Each
Center is required to report data on a
monthly basis, throughout the 24-month
duration of the first project period,
including the number of providers
registered via signed agreements with
the REC, the number of providers who
have purchased and are using an ONCcertified HER, with e-prescribing and
quality reporting functionalities, and the
number of providers who have become
meaningful users of EHR, in a
certification process determined by the
Center for Medicaid and Medicare
Services (CMS). The tool provides a data
hub and central location for program
participants to collect this data.
Additionally it allows for the synergy of
grantee business processes and
technology to increase transparency,
portability, and accuracy of ONCmonthly and ARRA-quarterly reporting
requirements.
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
To obtain copies of the supporting
statement and any related forms for the
proposed paperwork collections
referenced above, e-mail your request,
including your address, phone number,
OMB number, and OS document
identifier, to
Sherette.funncoleman@hhs.gov, or call
the Reports Clearance Office on (202)

Translational Science Awards (CTSA)
Initiative. Type of Information
Collection Request: New. Need and Use
of Information Collection: The CTSA
Initiative is directed at transforming the
way biomedical research is conducted
nationwide by reducing the time it takes
for basic science or laboratory
discoveries to become treatments for
patients, and for those treatments in
turn to be incorporated and
disseminated throughout community
practice. The primary purpose of this
data collection is to provide information
about the process and early outcomes
associated with 46 awardees
participating in the first four cohorts of
CTSA awards, in order to fulfill the
congressional expectations for external
program evaluation. NIH will use the
results to understand the extent to
which the CTSA Initiative is bringing
about transformational changes in
clinical and translational science among
academic medical centers and their
research partners, increasing the
efficiency of the research process, and
enhancing the capacity of the field to
conduct clinical and translational
research. All information collected will
be used to provide analytical and policy
support to NCRR, assisting NIH in
making decisions about current CTSA
programming, future funding, and other
initiatives to improve clinical and
translational science. It may also
