DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES
National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request; The SSA–NIH
Collaboration to Improve the Disability
Determination Process: Validation of
IRT–CAT Tools
Summary: Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Clinical
Research Center, the National Institutes
of Health has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) a
request to review and approve the
information collection listed below.
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register, September 8, 2011, Volume 76,
Number 174, page 55690, and allowed
60-days for public comment. No public
comments were received. The purpose
of this notice is to allow an additional
30 days for public comment.
Potential persons who are to respond
to the collection of information are not
required to respond to the collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: The SSA–
NIH Collaboration to Improve the
Disability Determination Process:
Validation of IRT–CAT tools. Type of
Information Collection Request: NEW.
Need and Use of Information Collection:
The Epidemiology and Biostatistics
section in RMD will be collecting
information through a contractor
(Boston University- Health and
Disability Research Institute (BU–HDR))
and subcontractor for validation of the
Computer Adaptive Tests which are
being developed to assist in the SSA
disability determination process. The
utilization of CAT technology could
potentially allow the SSA to collect
more relevant and precise data about
human functioning in a faster, more
efficient fashion. To validate the CAT
assessments that have been developed,
the contractor will administer both the
BU–HDR CAT and established legacy
instruments in a small sample of adults
who report their current employment
status as ‘‘permanently disabled’’.
Individuals will complete the CAT tools
for the functional domains of Physical
Demands and Interpersonal Interactions
along with established legacy
instruments. For the domain of physical
function, individuals will complete the
BU–HDR CAT; the PROMIS Item Bank
v 1.0–Physical Functioning © PROMIS
Health Organization and PROMIS
Cooperative Group; and, The Short
Form (36) Health SurveyTM (SF–36). For
the domain of interpersonal
interactions, individuals will complete
the BU–HDR CAT, the SF–36 and the
BASIS–24© (Behavior and Symptom
Identification Scale). Data collected will
be used to validate the BU–HDR CAT
tools. Without this information,
completion of the BU–HDR CAT tools
will not be possible. Frequency of
Response: Once. Affected Public:
Individuals who have opted in to
participate in web surveys through a
survey research firm. Type of
Respondents: Adults who indicate
‘‘permanently disabled’’ as a working
status. The annual reporting burden is
as follows:
