Download as PDF 22888 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 74 / Wednesday, April 17, 2013 / Notices sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES requirements are penicillins. This guidance explains that, due to the potential health risks of crosscontamination, the Agency expects separation for all classes of beta-lactam drugs, including penicillins as well as non-penicillin beta-lactams. Specifically, FDA recommends that manufacturers establish appropriate separation and control systems designed to prevent two types of contamination: (1) The contamination of a nonpenicillin beta-lactam by any other nonpenicillin beta-lactam and (2) the contamination of any other type of product by a non-penicillin beta-lactam. Accordingly, FDA recommends that the area in which any class of sensitizing beta-lactam is manufactured should be separated from areas in which any other products are manufactured, and should have an independent air handling system. A draft version of this guidance was published in March 2011 as ‘‘NonPenicillin Beta-Lactam Risk Assessment: A CGMP Framework.’’ This final version was revised in response to docket comments to clarify that this guidance does not provide a formal risk assessment, but, rather, describes FDA’s expectations and recommendations for separation strategies to prevent crosscontamination. This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA’s good guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the Agency’s current thinking on Non-Penicillin BetaLactam Drugs: A CGMP Framework for Preventing Cross-Contamination. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. II.

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– 1984. 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 estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

Awarded facilities are required to provide a periodic (quarterly for construction related projects, annually for equipment only projects) update of the status of the funded project until it is completed. The monitoring period averages about three years, although some projects take up to five years to complete. The information collected from these updates is vital to program management staff to determine whether projects are progressing according to the established timeframes, meeting deadlines established in the Notice of Award, and drawing down funds appropriately. The data collected from the updates is also shared with the Division of Grants Management Operations for their assistance in the overall evaluation of each project’s progress. An electronic form is currently being used for progress reporting for the HCOF program. This form provides awardees access to directly input the required status update information in a timely, consistent, and uniform manner. The electronic form minimizes burden to respondents and informs respondents when there are missing data elements prior to submission. We acknowledge a change in the burden estimate due to close out of old projects. 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.

Information Collection Request Title: Health Care and Other Facilities 
(OMB No. 0915-0309)--Extension

    Abstract: The Health Resources and Services Administration's Health 
Care and Other Facilities (HCOF) program provides congressionally-
directed funds to health-related facilities for construction related 
activities and/or capital equipment purchases. Awarded facilities are 
required to provide a periodic (quarterly for construction related 
projects, annually for equipment only projects) update of the status of 
the funded project until it is completed. The monitoring period 
averages about three years, although some projects take up to five 
years to complete. The information collected from these updates is 
vital to program management staff to determine whether projects are 
progressing according to the established timeframes, meeting deadlines 
established in the Notice of Award, and drawing down funds 
appropriately. The data collected from the updates is also shared with 
the Division of Grants Management Operations for their assistance in 
the overall evaluation of each project's progress.
    An electronic form is currently being used for progress reporting 
for the HCOF program. This form provides awardees access to directly 
input the required status update information in a timely, consistent, 
and uniform manner. The electronic form minimizes burden to respondents 
and informs respondents when there are missing data elements prior to 
submission. We acknowledge a change in the burden estimate due to close 
out of old projects.
    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.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
