Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 141 / Monday, July 23, 2012 / Notices
Written comments should be provided
to the contact person below in advance
of the meeting.
Background: The Advisory Board was
established under the Energy Employees
Occupational Illness Compensation
Program Act of 2000 to advise the
President on a variety of policy and
technical functions required to
implement and effectively manage the
new compensation program. Key
functions of the Advisory Board include
providing advice on the development of
probability of causation guidelines,
which have been promulgated by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) as a final rule; advice on
methods of dose reconstruction, which
have also been promulgated by HHS as
a final rule; advice on the scientific
validity and quality of dose estimation
and reconstruction efforts being
performed for purposes of the
compensation program; and advice on
petitions to add classes of workers to the
Special Exposure Cohort (SEC).
In December 2000, the President
delegated responsibility for funding,
staffing, and operating the Advisory
Board to HHS, which subsequently
delegated this authority to the CDC.
NIOSH implements this responsibility
for CDC. The charter was issued on
August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate
intervals, most recently, August 3, 2011,
and will expire on August 3, 2013.
Purpose: This Advisory Board is
charged with (a) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the development of
guidelines under Executive Order
13179; (b) providing advice to the
Secretary, HHS, on the scientific
validity and quality of dose
reconstruction efforts performed for this
program; and (c) upon request by the
Secretary, HHS, advising the Secretary
on whether there is a class of employees
at any Department of Energy facility
who were exposed to radiation but for
whom it is not feasible to estimate their
radiation dose, and on whether there is
reasonable likelihood that such
radiation doses may have endangered
the health of members of this class.
Matters to be Discussed: The agenda
for the conference call includes: SEC
Petition for Ventron Corporation
(Beverly, Massachusetts); Dose
Reconstruction Review Subcommittee
Update; Subcommittee and Work Group
Updates; SEC Petition Evaluations
Update for the September 2012
Advisory Board Meeting; Plans for
September 2012 Advisory Board
Meeting; and Advisory Board
Correspondence.
The agenda is subject to change as
priorities dictate.
Because there is not a verbal public
comment period, written comments may
be submitted. Any written comments
received will be included in the official
record of the meeting and should be
submitted to the contact person below
in advance of the meeting.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency request
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, AoA is
publishing notice of the proposed
collection of information set forth in
this document. With respect to the
following collection of information,
AoA invites comments on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of AoA’s functions, including whether
the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of AoA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
The ‘‘Empowering Older Adults and
Adults with Disabilities through
Chronic Disease Self-Management
Education (CDSME) Programs’’
cooperative agreement program is
financed through 2012 Prevention and
Public Health Funds. The statutory
authority for cooperative agreements
under this program announcement is
contained in Section 1701(a)(3)(A–B),
Section 1701(a)(4), and Section
1703(a)(4) of the Public Health Service
Act; and Consolidated Appropriations
Act, Fiscal Year 2012, Public Law 112–
74; and the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, Public Law 111–
148; and Title IV, Section 4002 of the
Affordable Care Act (PPHF).
This data collection is necessary for
monitoring program operations and
outcomes. AoA proposes to use the
following tools: (1) Semi-annual
progress reports to monitor grantee
progress; (2) an Annual Integrated
Services Delivery System Assessment
Tool to determine grantee’s progress in
developing sustainable program
delivery systems; (3) an Organization

Data form to record location of sites
where workshops are held which will
allow mapping of the delivery
infrastructure; and (4) a set of tools used
to collect information at each workshop
completed by the workshop leaders
(Workshop Information Cover Sheet and
Attendance Log) and a Participant
Information Survey completed by each
participant to document their
demographic and health characteristics,
including whether the participant has a
disability. The Participant Survey also
requests the last 4 numbers of the social
security number to allow for potential
Medicare claims matching and an
analysis of changes in health care
utilization post participation. AoA
proposes to gather data using an online
data entry system for the workshop and
participant survey data.

for State Governments, 1,170 hours for
local agency staff, and 2,000 hours for
individuals—Total burden is 3,570
hours per year.
