Download as PDF 1617 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 11, 2011 / Notices 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; (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) 690–6162. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collections must be directed to the OS Paperwork Clearance Officer at the above e-mail address within 60 days. Proposed Project: Comparative Effectiveness Research Inventory—OMB No. 0990–New-Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). 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.

Background and Brief Description The Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH), CDC, supports HIV prevention activities, coordinated school health program (CSHP) activities, and asthma management activities conducted by local education agencies (LEA), state education agencies (SEA), territorial education agencies (TEA), and tribal governments (TG). DASH currently collects information about these activities under OMB control number 0920–0672 (exp. 6/30/2011). Because there is currently no other standardized annual reporting process for DASH-funded HIV prevention activities, CSHP activities, and asthma management activities, DASH seeks OMB approval to continue the PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information collection for three years (FY2010—FY2012 data). The previously approved questionnaires will be used to collect FY2010 data. Minor changes to the questionnaires will be implemented for the FY2011 and FY2012 data collections. Information collection consists of four Web-based questionnaires that correspond to specific funding sources within DASH. Two questionnaires pertain to HIV-prevention program activities among LEAs and SEAs/TEAs/ TGs, the third questionnaire pertains to CSHP activities among SEAs, and the fourth questionnaire pertains to asthma management activities among LEAs. There are no changes to the estimated burden per response for any of the questionnaires. The two HIV questionnaires include questions about planning and improving projects; development and distribution of materials, professional development and individualized technical assistance on school policies; development and distribution of materials, professional development and individualized technical assistance on education curricula and instruction; collaboration with external partners; reducing disparities among populations of youth at disproportionate risk; and information about additional program activities. The CSHP/PANT questionnaire also asks the questions above, but focuses on physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco-use prevention activities. It includes additional questions about joint activities of the State Education Agency and State Health Agency (SHA); activities of the CSHP state-wide coalition; and development and E:\FR\FM\11JAN1.SGM 11JAN1
