Information Collection Request Title:
Facts for Consumers about Health IT
Service Providers.
OMB No.: 0955–0002.
Abstract: ONC is proposing to revise
current OMB approved Facts for
Consumers about Health IT Service
Providers. The current OMB approval is
applicable through October 31, 2012. It
includes iterative rounds of in-depth
consumer testing to assess and analyze
consumer understanding and input
about a model privacy notice for
personal health records (PHRs). ONC
intends to revise the project to use the
same focus group and cognitive
usability interview testing process for
the development of a model notice of
privacy practices (NPP).
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: 45 CFR 164.520 requires
covered entities to make available a NPP
for protected health information to their
patients or health plan members. The
notice must, among other things, outline
the purposes for which the covered
entity is permitted to use and disclose
health information, the rights of
individuals with respect to their health
information, the entities’ duties to
protect that information, and the
process for filing a complaint
concerning possible violations of the
HIPAA Privacy Rule, such as an
improper use or disclosure of
information. 45 CFR 164.520 requires
that the notice be written in plain
language, but studies have shown that
these notices are often difficult for

In compliance with section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services, will submit an
Information Collection Request (ICR),
described below, to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. The ICR is for
revision of the approved information
collection assigned OMB control
number 0955–0002, scheduled to expire
on October 31, 2012. Comments
submitted during the first public review
of this ICR will be provided to OMB.
OMB will accept further comments from
the public on this ICR during the review
and approval period.
DATES: Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before November 19,
2012.
SUMMARY:

patients to understand due to their
length and complexity.
The Federal Health IT Strategic Plan
identifies the Fair Information Practice
Principles (FIPPS) an important
guidepost in the development of privacy
policies and programs. Openness and
Transparency is a key principle of fair
information practices. The NPP is an
important component of fulfilling this
principle. If patients cannot adequately
understand the notice because of its
length or complexity, then the use and
disclosure of their health information is
not open and transparent.
In addition, each participant will have
been recruited through a 15-minute
screening interview. The participants
will be recruited according to U.S.
census statistics for race/ethnicity, age,
marital status, gender, and income.
Likely Respondents: Respondents to
this information collection are members
of the General Public.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information, and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden

Information Collection Request Title:
National Survey on Health Information
Exchange in Clinical Laboratories.
Abstract: ONC seeks approval to
collect key data from a relatively small
sample of clinical laboratories
nationwide for the Evaluation of the
State Health Information Exchange
Cooperative Agreement Program. The
National Survey on Health Information
Exchange in Clinical Laboratories will
assess and evaluate the electronic
transfer of health information from
clinical laboratories to ordering
physicians. It will focus on two key
measures: (1) Percentage of laboratory
facilities that are able to send structured
lab results electronically to ordering
physicians and (2) percentage of lab
results that are currently being sent
electronically in coded format to
ordering physicians.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: A key goal of the State
Health Information Exchange
Cooperative Agreement Program is to
promote the electronic exchange of
structured test results from clinical
laboratories to healthcare providers.
ONC will use these survey findings to
develop a comprehensive understanding
of the baseline level of laboratory
information exchange in order to inform
program activities to promote laboratory
information exchange and provide more
targeted assistance to states and
territories in developing their laboratory
information exchange strategies.
Likely Respondents: There will be two
similar versions of the questionnaire—
one for hospital-based labs and one for
independent labs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions, to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information, to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
