fair value option to financial or
servicing assets and liabilities.
The agencies believe that the
proposed information is necessary to
more accurately assess the impact of fair
value accounting and fair value
measurements for safety and soundness
purposes. The collection of the
information on Schedule Q, as
proposed, will facilitate and enhance
the banking agencies’ ability to monitor
the extent of fair value accounting by
branches, including the elective use of
fair value accounting and the nature of
the inputs used in the valuation process,
pursuant to the disclosure requirements
of ASC Topic 820. The information
collected on Schedule Q is consistent
with the disclosures required by ASC
Topic 820 and consistent with industry
practice for reporting fair value
measurements and should, therefore,
not impose significant incremental
burden on branches.

a. Whether the information
collections are necessary for the proper
performance of the agencies’ functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the agencies’
estimates of the burden of the

inventory will be directed first to submit
such records to one of these main
primary source databases, as
appropriate. This method will not only
help to augment these existing
databases, it will enable efficient and
effective capture of CER information for
the CER Inventory via CER search
filters, etc., that have been developed for
those respective source databases. If
candidate CER records under
consideration are not suitable for
submission to one of these main
databases, an alternative method that
allows for direct submissions to the CER
inventory will be made available to
content users. Examples include reports
and published articles or projects and
programs that focus on areas of CER
outside of primary research (e.g.,
training and education). The pilot
inventory tool will provide a web form
that may be used by content owners to
submit CER records, subject to
validation. This process for direct
submission will draw from the
experience with content owner
submissions for such established
databases as HSRProj and
ClinicalTrials.gov.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistance
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting approval by OMB
for the collection of information
submitted by content users directly to a
web-based inventory of comparative
effectiveness research (CER). The CER
Inventory will categorize and catalogue
Federal and non-Federal CER outputs
and activities across four main domains:
Research, human & scientific capital
(e.g., training/education, methods
development), data infrastructure, and
dissemination & translation. The CER
inventory will serve as a valuable tool
for researchers, providers, patients,
policymakers, and other users.
The CER inventory will draw upon
primary data sources, including
PubMed, HSRProj, ClinicalTrials.gov,
and NIH RePORTER. Working with
these four major sources and using the
Federal Coordinating Council for CER’s
definition of CER and strategic
framework, selection criteria and tools
to select and extract the appropriate
subsets of these datasets for inclusion in
the CER inventory will be identified. In
