Abstract: At the completion of a cost
reimbursement contract, contractors
will report final costs incurred,
including direct labor, materials,
supplies, equipment, other direct
charges, subcontracting, consultant fees,
indirect costs, and fixed fee. Contractors
will report this information on EPA
Form 1900–10. EPA will use this
information to reconcile the contractor’s
costs. Establishment of the final costs
and fixed fee is necessary to close out
the contract. Responses to the
information collection are mandatory
for those contractors completing work
under a cost reimbursement contract,
and are required to receive final
payment. Information submitted is
protected from public release in
accordance with the Agency’s
confidentiality regulation, 40 CFR 2.201

Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 4 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

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
E:\FR\FM\27MRN1.SGM

18247
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 27, 2012 / Notices
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.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:14 Mar 26, 2012
Jkt 226001
On
November 24, 2009, the President
established The Presidential
Commission for the Study of Bioethical
Issues (Commission) to advise him on
bioethical issues generated by novel and
emerging research in biomedicine and
related areas of science and technology.
The Commission is charged to identify
and promote policies and practices that
assure ethically responsible conduct of
scientific research and healthcare
delivery. Undertaking these duties, the
Commission seeks to identify and
examine specific bioethical, legal, and
social issues related to potential
scientific and technological advances;
examine diverse perspectives and
possibilities for international
collaboration on these issues; and
recommend legal, regulatory, or policy
actions as appropriate.
The Commission is examining issues
of privacy and access as pertains to
large-scale human genome sequence
data, including whole exome and whole
genome data. As a result of the
tremendous technological advances that
have dramatically reduced the cost of
sequencing, the science is at a point
where relatively inexpensive, rapid
sequencing of whole human genomes
appears not only likely, but imminent.
This prospect raises many questions for
the scientific, medical, ethics, and
patient communities related to how this
information can and ought be collected,
used, and governed. At the February
2012 meeting, the Commission decided
to focus specifically on those questions
related to privacy and data access and
the balancing of individual and societal
interests.
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The Commission will spend the next
six months soliciting additional input
from the scientific, ethics, and patient
communities, as well as others, to help
inform our deliberations of these
important topics. The Commission will
provide the President with a report of its
findings and recommendations later this
year.
The Commission is particularly
interested in policies, practices,
research, and perspectives on issues of
privacy and data access as they relate to
the integration of large-scale human
genome sequencing into research and
clinical care. To this end, the
Commission is inviting interested
parties to provide input and advice
through written comments.
Among other issues, the Commission
is interested in receiving comments on
the implications of large-scale human
genome sequencing for the privacy of
individuals, research subjects, patients
and their families; the views of those
groups and medical professional
communities about privacy, both as
regards genomic information and
evolving notions of privacy, as
evidenced and influenced by social
media; and models and mechanisms for
protecting privacy, in both genetic/
genomic databases and biobanks, but
also in large databases of sensitive
information. The Commission is further
interested in receiving comments on
issues related to balancing individual
and societal interests with regard to the
sharing of and access to large-scale
human genomic data; the views of
patients and other stakeholders on who
should have access to these data and
who should control access; models and
mechanisms for governing access to
genomic information; the role of health
information technology in providing
and governing access to genomic data;
and access to genetic/genomic
