Proposed Project: Assessing the
Availability of Primary Care Physicians
Accepting New Patients and Timeliness
of Services for New Patients Using a
Mystery Shopper Approach—OMB No.
0990–NEW—Assistant Secretary
Planning Evaluation (ASPE).
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
approval on a new collection to utilize
a mystery shopper approach to collect
data from physician offices in order to
accurately gauge availability of Primary
Care Physicians (PCPs) accepting new
patients, assess the timeliness of
services from PCPs, and gain insight
into the precise reasons that PCP
availability is lacking. This study will
provide current information on the
availability and accessibility of PCPs to
publicly and privately insured patients
with a range of medical needs. To
conduct this study, ASPE will contact
465 PCPs in each of the nine selected
states. Each PCP’s office will be
contacted twice; once using a privately
insured patient scenario, and once using
a publicly insured patient scenario. The
scenarios will simulate requests for an
appointment with the sampled PCP
from a new patient with both public or
private insurance and either an urgent
medical concern or routine exam
appointment. A standard protocol will
accompany each patient scenario,
ensuring that the key research questions
are addressed and the necessary
standardized information from the calls
is collected. Additionally, 465 PCPs
across all the nine states will be
contacted a third time using a direct
questioning approach. These physicians
will be informed about the study and
asked directly if they are accepting new
patients and how long it would take to
obtain an appointment. The purpose of
this additional data collection
component is to evaluate the validity of
the mystery shopper approach in
generating accurate estimates of
physician availability and timeliness of
services. Data collection activities will
be completed within 4 months of OMB
Clearance.

Proposed Project: SF–424 Research
and Related Form-Extension—OMB No.
4040–0001—Grants.gov.
Abstract The SF–424 Research and
Related form (R&R) is an OMB approved
collection (4040–0001). We propose
revising the collection to include
changes adopted by the cross-agency
R&R working group. This working group
established the original proposed
collection of 4040–0001 in 2004. The
form instructions will also be revised.
This collection will be utilized by up
to 26 Federal grant-making agencies.
The 4040–0001 collection expires on

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2011 / Notices
June 30, 2011. We are requesting a
three-year clearance of this collection.
The 4040–0001 proposed collection
encompasses 14 forms.
There are four requested changes to
the SF 424 (R&R) Application for
Federal Assistance (Cover) and, there
are four requested changes to the R&R
Other Project Information form.
These changes to the instructions will
increase data quality and clarity for the
collection. Agencies will not be required
to collect all of the information in the
proposed data set. The agency will
identify the data that must be provided
by applicants through instructions that
will accompany the application forms.
