practices. The field of laboratory
medicine is undergoing rapid change
with the continuing introduction of new
tests, increased focus on evidence-based
medicine, the deployment of Electronic
Health Records, and the wide
availability to physicians of electronic
information resources, interactive
diagnostic tools, and computerized
order entry systems. To date, no
systematic study has been conducted to
investigate how physicians are
incorporating these laboratory testing
innovations into their day-to-day
practices. This survey seeks to provide
insight into how physicians integrate
laboratory medicine into their routines,
and how they manage any challenges
they encounter.
The survey will be conducted in 2011,
following OMB approval, in a national
representative sample of primary care
physicians. The table below reports the
combined total number of respondents
for the 2011 survey. There are no costs
to respondents except their time.

Title: Social Services Block Grant
(SSBG) Post-expenditure Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0234.
Description:
Content Changes:
The 60-day Federal Register Notice
published on October 22, 2010 (Federal
Register Vol. 75, No. 204, pages 65352–
65353) proposed to continue the use of
the current post-expenditure reporting
form with one change. The proposed
change was a modification of the
column titled, Expenditures of All Other
Federal, State, and Local Funds of Part
A of the form. States would have been
required to report the same information
as on the current OMB-approved post
expenditure reporting form in a slightly
different format.
The column currently requires States
to provide data on the total amount of
Federal, State, and local funds spent in
providing each service. The proposed
modification would have separated this
column into two subcolumns. One
subcolumn would have required States
to report expenditures of Federal funds
used to support each service. The
second subcolumn would have required
States to report expenditures of State
and local funds used to support each

service. The instructions for the postexpenditure reporting form would have
been revised to reflect this modification.
Based on feedback from several
States, it was decided not to proceed
with this proposed change. Therefore,
the current request seeks approval to
continue using the current OMB
approved post-expenditure reporting
form (OMB No. 09700834)
Description:
Purpose: To request approval to: (1)
Extend the collection of postexpenditure data using the current OMB
approved post-expenditure reporting
form (OMB No. 0970–0234) past the
current expiration date of July 31, 2011;
(2) request that States voluntarily use
the post-expenditure reporting form to
estimate expenditures and recipients, by
service category, as part of the required
annual intended use plan.
The Social Services Block Grant
program (SSBG) provides funds to assist
States in delivering critical services to
vulnerable older adults; persons with
disabilities; at-risk adolescents and
young adults; and children and families.
Funds are allocated to the States in
proportion to their populations. States
have substantial discretion in their use
of funds and may determine what
services will be provided, who will be
eligible, and how funds will be
distributed among the various services.
State or local SSBG agencies (i.e.,
county, city, regional offices) may
provide the services or may purchase
them from qualified agencies,
organizations, or individuals. States
report as recipients of SSBG-funded
services any individuals who receive a
service funded, in whole or in part, by
SSBG.
States are required to report their
annual SSBG expenditures in a
postexpenditure report, using the
current OMB approved post-
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Total burden
(in hrs)
expenditure reporting form. The current
form includes a yearly total of adults
and children served and annual
expenditures in each of 29 service
categories. The annual report is to be
submitted within six months of the end
of the period covered by the report, and
must address: (1) The number of
individuals (including number of
children and number of adults) who
receive services paid for, in whole or in
part, with Federal funds under the
SSBG; (2) The amount of SSBG funds
spent in providing each service; (3) The
total amount of Federal, State, and local
funds spent in providing each service,
including SSBG funds; and (4) The
method(s) by which each service is
provided, showing separately the
services provided by public and private
agencies. These reporting requirements
can be found at 45 CFR 96.74.
This request seeks approval to
continue the use of the current
postexpenditure reporting form with no
changes. Information collected in the
postexpenditure reports submitted by
States is analyzed and described in an
annual report on SSBG expenditures
and recipients produced by the Office of
community Services (OCS),
Administration for children and
Families (ACF). The information
contained in this report is used for
program planning and management. The
data establish how SSBG funding is
used for the provision of services in
each State to each of many specific
populations of needy individuals.
Federal regulation and reporting
requirements for the SSBG also require
each State to develop and submit an
annual intended use plan that describes
how the State plans to administer its
SSBG funds for the coming year. This
report is to be submitted 30 days prior
to the start of the fiscal year (June 1 if
E:\FR\FM\08FEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 8, 2011 / Notices
the State operates on a July–June fiscal
year, or September 1 if the State
operates on a Federal fiscal year). No
specific format is required for the
intended use plan. The intended use of
SSBG funds—including the types of
activities to be supported and the
categories and characteristics of
individuals to be served—must be
provided. States vary greatly in the
information they provide and the
structure of the report. States are
required to submit a revised intended
use plan if the planned use of SSBG
funds changes during the year.
In order to provide a more accurate
analysis of the extent to which funds are
spent ‘‘in a manner consistent’’ with
each of the States’ plan for their use, as
required by 42 USC 1397e(a), we are
requesting that States voluntarily use
the format of the post-expenditure
reporting form to provide estimates of
the amount of expenditures and the
number of recipients, by service
category, that the State plans to use
SSBG funds to support as part of the
intended use plan. Many States are
already using the format of the postexpenditure reporting form as part of
their intended use plan.
Respondents:
The post-expenditure reporting form
and intended use plan are completed
once annually by a representative of the
agency that administers the Social
Services Block Grant at the State level
in each State.

Title: Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Post-expenditure Report.
OMB No.: 0970-0234.
Description:
Content Changes:
The 60-day Federal Register Notice published on October 22, 2010
(Federal Register Vol. 75, No. 204, pages 65352-65353) proposed to
continue the use of the current post-expenditure reporting form with
one change. The proposed change was a modification of the column
titled, Expenditures of All Other Federal, State, and Local Funds of
Part A of the form. States would have been required to report the same
information as on the current OMB-approved post expenditure reporting
form in a slightly different format.
The column currently requires States to provide data on the total
amount of Federal, State, and local funds spent in providing each
service. The proposed modification would have separated this column
into two subcolumns. One subcolumn would have required States to report
expenditures of Federal funds used to support each service. The second
subcolumn would have required States to report expenditures of State
and local funds used to support each service. The instructions for the
post-expenditure reporting form would have been revised to reflect this
modification.
