Information Collection Request Title: Performance Data System (PDS). OMB No.: 0990–0275. Abstract: This request for clearance is to extend data collection activities by three (3) years for a currently approved collection using the OMB-approved Performance Data System (PDS), the tool used by Office of Minority Health (OMH) to collect program management and performance data for all OMHfunded projects. Grantee data collection via the Uniform Data Set (UDS) (original data collection system) was first approved by OMB on June 7, 2004 (OMB No. 0990–275). OMB approval was also received for modifications to the UDS to accommodate grant programs that were not required to use the UDS at the time the system was developed (August 23, 2007), which upgraded the data collection tool from the UDS to the PDS (August 31, 2010). Clearance is due to expire on October 31, 2013. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The clearance is also to continue data collection using the PDS, enhancing the system to improve functionality and to alter questions to improve data collection completeness and quality. The functionality and question improvements are intended to improve OMH’s ability to comply with Federal reporting requirements and monitor and evaluate performance by enabling the efficient collection of more performance-oriented data which are tied to OMH-wide performance reporting needs. The ability to monitor and evaluate performance in this manner, and to work towards continuous program improvement are basic functions that OMH must be able to accomplish in order to carry out its mandate with the most effective and appropriate use of resources. Likely Respondents: Respondents for this data collection include the project directors leading OMH-funded projects and/or the date entry persons assigned for each OMH-funded project. Affected public includes not-for-profit institutions and State, Local, or Tribal Governments. 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.
