Notice.
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection
projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title
44, United States Code, as amended by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Pub. L. 104–13), the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
publishes periodic summaries of
proposed projects being developed for
submission to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. To request more
information on the proposed project or
to obtain a copy of the data collection
plans and draft instruments, email
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA
Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443–

HRSA especially requests comments
on: (1) The necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
The purpose of the Rural Health
Information Technology Network
Development (RHITND) Program,
authorized under the Public Health
Service Act, Section 330A(f) (42 U.S.C.
254c(f)) as amended by Section 201,
Public Law 107–251 of the Health Care
Safety Net Amendments of 2002, is to
improve health care and support the
adoption of Health Information
Technology (HIT) in rural America by
providing targeted HIT support to rural
health networks. HIT plays a significant
role in the advancement of Health and
Human Services’ (HHS) priority policies
to improve health care delivery. Some of
these priorities include: improving
health care quality, safety, and
efficiency; reducing disparities;
engaging patients and families in
managing their health; enhancing care
coordination; improving population and
public health; and ensuring adequate
privacy and security of health
information.
The intent of RHITND is to support
the adoption and use of electronic
health records (EHR) in coordination
with the ongoing HHS activities related
to the Health Information Technology
for Economic and Clinical Health
(HITECH) Act (Pub. L. 111–5). This
legislation provides HHS with the
authority to establish programs to

improve health care quality, safety, and

health information technology,
including EHR.
For this program, performance
measures were drafted to provide data
useful to the program and to enable
HRSA to provide aggregate program data
required by Congress under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62).
These measures cover the principal
topic areas of interest to the Office of
Rural Health Policy, including: (a)
Access to care; (b) the underinsured and
uninsured; (c) workforce recruitment
and retention; (d) sustainability; (e)
health information technology; (f)
network development; and (g) health
related clinical measures. Several
measures will be used for this program.
These measures will speak to the Office
of Rural Health Policy’s progress toward
meeting the goals set.
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
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.

Abstract: The Stem Cell Therapeutic
and Research Act of 2005, Public Law
(Pub. L.) 109–129, as amended by the
Stem Cell Therapeutic and Research
Reauthorization Act of 2010, Public Law
111–264 (the Act), provides for the
collection and maintenance of human
blood stem cells for the treatment of
patients and research. HRSA’s
Healthcare Systems Bureau has
established the Stem Cell Therapeutic
Outcomes Database. Operation of this
database necessitates certain record
keeping and reporting requirements in
order to perform the functions related to
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
under contract to the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The
Act requires the Secretary to contract for
the establishment and maintenance of
information related to patients who
have received stem cell therapeutic
products and to do so using a
standardized, electronic format. Data is
collected from transplant centers by the
Center for International Blood and
Marrow Transplant Research and is
used for ongoing analysis of transplant
outcomes. HRSA uses the information
in order to carry out its statutory
responsibilities. Information is needed
to monitor the clinical status of
transplantation and to provide the
Secretary of HHS with an annual report
of transplant center-specific survival
data. The increase in burden is due to
an increase in the annual number of
transplants and increasing survivorship
after transplantation.
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
