Justification for the Exception to
Competition
The former grantee, SVCHS,
relinquished the grant due to financial
and organizational challenges. In the
effort to preserve the opportunity to
advance information technology
resources of Virginia’s medically
underserved communities, HCHC has
demonstrated capacity to fulfill the
expectations of the original grant award
and plans to work closely with the
Community Care Network of Virginia
(CCNV), to complete the grant project
and to plan for a smooth transition of
the grant. HCHC has been a HRSA
funded health center since 2008 and is
a well-established organization with
sound fiscal and grants management
operations. The transfer of these funds
will ensure full implementation of the
grant, which will enhance the state of
Virginia’s ability to improve the quality
and efficiency of primary and
preventive care as a safety net through
the effective use of health information
technology.
In order to ensure a timely
implementation of an HCCN in the state
of Virginia as originally awarded, this
replacement award will not be
competed.

National Institutes of Health
Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request: Cognitive Testing
of Instrumentation and Materials for
the Population Assessment of
Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study
Under the provisions of
Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) 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 on May 23, 2012,
page 30540 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. The National
Institutes of Health may not conduct or
sponsor, and the respondent is not
SUMMARY:
required to respond to, an information
collection that has been extended,
revised, or implemented on or after
October 1, 1995, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Proposed Collection: Title: Cognitive
Testing of Instrumentation and
Materials for Population Assessment of
Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study.
Type of Information Collection Request:
New. Need and Use of Information
Collection: The PATH study will
establish a population-based framework
for monitoring and evaluating the
behavioral and health impacts of
regulatory provisions implemented as
part of the Family Smoking Prevention
and Tobacco Control Act (FSPTCA) by
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). NIDA is requesting generic
approval from OMB for cognitive testing
of the PATH study’s instrumentation,
supporting materials, consent forms,
and methods of administration (e.g.,
computer assisted personal interviews
[CAPI], audio computer assisted selfinterviews [ACASI], web-based
interviews). Cognitive testing of these
materials and methods will help to
ensure that their design and content are
valid and meet the PATH study’s
objectives. Additionally, results from
cognitive testing will inform the
feasibility (scientific robustness),
acceptability (burden to participants
and study logistics) and cost of the
information collection to help minimize
its estimated cost and public burden.
Frequency of Response: Annual [As
needed on an on-going and concurrent
basis].
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households. Type of Respondents:
Youth (ages 12–17) and Adults (ages
18+). The annual reporting burden for
the screening of respondents for the
PATH study cognitive testing is
presented in Table 1, and the annual
reporting burden for the PATH study
cognitive testing is presented in Table 2.
The annualized cost to respondents for
participating in screening for PATH
study cognitive testing is estimated at:
$6,632; and the annualized cost to
respondents for participating in PATH
study cognitive testing is estimated at:
$20,346. There are no capital, operating
or maintenance costs.
