Agency Information Collection Request; 60-Day Public Comment 
Request

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.

    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the Secretary (OS), 
Department of Health and Human Services, is publishing the following 
summary of a proposed information collection request for public 
comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this 
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, 
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, email 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 email 
address within 60 days.
    Proposed Project: Trends in U.S. Public Awareness of Racial and 
Ethnic Health Disparities (1999-2015)--Extension-OMB 0990-
0335--Office of Minority Health (OMH).
    Abstract: The proposed survey seeks to collect data for one of 
OMH's annual performance measures, approved by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) in February 2007, following OMB's examination of OMH 
using the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART). This measure is to 
``increase awareness of racial/ethnic health status and health care 
disparities in the general population.'' Findings from this data 
collection will enable OMH to track progress on this measure over time 
as necessitated by current OMB-approved program assessment 
requirements.
    The lack of general awareness and understanding about the nature 
and extent of racial and ethnic health disparities in the U.S. and the 
impact that such disparities are having on the overall health of the 
Nation have been cited as a major barrier to the provision of 
programmatic, budgetary, and policy attention to these issues. 
Therefore, one of the long-term, annual measures agreed upon was to 
``increase awareness of racial/ethnic health status and health care 
disparities in the general population.''
    Additionally, OMH can use the findings about progress made in 
raising awareness to identify collaborative partners in the federal 
government, at the state and local levels, among businesses and non-
profits, and among the faith community, in order to reach a wider 
audience. Further, these results can be used by program decision-makers 
and policy-makers, within and outside of HHS, who are interested in 
capturing progress made over time as HHS disseminates information to 
the U.S. population that confirms the existence, and societal effects, 
of racial and ethnic health disparities.
