Announcing the Award of a New
Single-Source Award to the National
Council on Family Violence in Austin,

ACTION: Notice of the award of a singlesource cooperative agreement to the
National Council on Family Violence to
support the National Domestic Violence
Hotline (Hotline).
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF),
Administration on Children, Youth and
Families (ACYF), Family and Youth
Services Bureau (FYSB), Division of
Family Violence and Prevention
Services (DFVPS) announces the award
of a single-source cooperative agreement
in the amount of $275,000 to the
National Council on Family Violence in
Austin, TX, for the Hotline. The Hotline,
currently funded under the Family
Violence Prevention and Services Act,
provides direct services and referrals
nationally for victims of family
violence, domestic violence, and dating
violence.
DATES: The period of support for this
award is May 1, 2013 through April 30,
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Award

states of New Jersey and New York. The
Hotline will conduct training for current
disaster responders, provide training
and technical assistance to local
programs that run hotlines/crisis lines,
and develop a public awareness
campaign to publicize the various ways
to contact the Hotline, the Teen Dating
Abuse Helpline, state hotlines, and local
program hotlines.
Reports from the New York and New
Jersey Disaster Task Forces indicate the
need for training on domestic violence
in disaster response situations and on
making connections to appropriate
services for disaster case managers and
for state, regional, and federal staff
involved with on-scene response. Frontline disaster relief staff and volunteers
may be the first responders to observe
domestic violence in families they are
supporting; however, they may not be
able to discern signs of domestic
violence due to a lack of training. In
fact, many responders may confuse the
stresses of the disaster with the stresses
of domestic violence on the victim and
may overlook abusive behaviors on the
part of the intimate partner as signs of
stress from the disaster.
Though based in Austin, TX, the
Hotline’s experience in providing victim
advocacy, referrals, and program
support makes it well-positioned to
provide training to disaster responders
in New York and New Jersey. Training
will concentrate on protocols and
referral procedures, accessing domestic
violence services, recognizing the
warning signs of domestic violence,
safety planning, and maintaining
ongoing health and wellness initiatives
during the crisis response and recovery
phase. In this effort, the Hotline will
partner with the New Jersey Coalition
for Battered Women, the New York State
Coalition Against Domestic Violence,
and national experts on domestic
violence and disaster response to
develop and offer appropriate and
effective training.

ACTION:
Notice.
In compliance with Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35), the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) will
submit an Information Collection
Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
Comments submitted during the first
public review of this ICR will be
provided to OMB. OMB will accept
further comments from the public
during the review and approval period.

SUMMARY:
Information Collection Request Title:
Patient Survey—Health Centers (OMB
No. 0915–xxxx)—[NEW]
Abstract: The Health Center program
supports Community Health Centers
(CHCs), Migrant Health Centers (MHCs),
Health Care for the Homeless (HCH)
programs, and Public Housing Primary
Care (PHPC) programs. Health Centers
(HCs) receive grants from HRSA to
provide primary and preventive health
care services to medically underserved
populations. The proposed Patient
Survey will collect information about
HC patients, regarding their health
status, the reasons for seeking care at
HCs, their health-related diagnoses,
health services they obtain at HCs and
from other healthcare settings, the
quality of those services received, and
their satisfaction with the care they
received. This information will be
collected through in-person interviews
from a nationally representative sample
of HC patients. Prior to the deployment
of the national study, a cognitive pretest will be conducted to refine and test
the face validity and internal validity of
questions in the survey instrument in
different languages, and test the survey
sampling methodologies and
procedures. The pre-test will include
cognitive interviews to ensure that the
questions are being understood as were
intended. Interviews conducted in the
pre-test and the national study are
E:\FR\FM\09MYN1.SGM

27241
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 90 / Thursday, May 9, 2013 / Notices
estimated to take approximately up to 1
hour and 15 minutes each.
The Patient Survey builds on previous
periodic Patient User-Visit Surveys,
which were conducted to learn about
the process and outcomes of care in
CHCs, MHCs, HCHs, and PHPCs. The
original questionnaires were derived
from the National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS) and the National
Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
(NAMCS) conducted by the National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
Conformance with the NHIS and
NAMCS allowed comparisons between
these NCHS surveys and the previous
User-Visit Surveys. The new Patient
Survey was developed using a
questionnaire methodology similar to
that used in the past, and will also
potentially allow some time-trend
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 ICR are
summarized in the table below.
The annual estimate of burden is as
follows:
comparisons for HCs with the previous
User-Visit survey data, including
monitoring of processes and outcomes
over time. In addition, this wave of the
survey will be conducted in languages
not used in previous surveys (English
and Spanish only), and will include
patients from the fastest growing U.S.
population segment, Asian Americans
and Pacific Islanders. Languages that
will be used in the proposed survey
include Chinese (Mandarin and
Cantonese), Korean, Vietnamese,
Spanish, and English. With the
exception of Spanish speakers, other
racial and ethnic subgroups were not
able to participate in previous surveys
in their own languages.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,

information collection requirements for
the Countermeasures Injury
Compensation Program (CICP or
Program). The CICP, within the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA), administers the compensation
program specified by the Public
Readiness and Emergency Preparedness
Act (PREP Act). The CICP provides
compensation to eligible individuals
(requesters) who suffer serious injuries
directly caused by a covered
countermeasure administered or used
pursuant to a PREP Act Declaration, or
to their estates and/or survivors. A
declaration is issued by the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Humans
Services (Secretary). The purpose of a
declaration is to identify a disease,
health condition, or a threat to health
that is currently, or may in the future
constitute, a public health emergency.
In addition, the Secretary, through a
declaration, may recommend and
encourage the development,
manufacturing, distribution, dispensing,
and administration or use of one or
more covered countermeasures to treat,
prevent, or diagnose the disease,
condition, or threat specified in the
declaration.
To determine whether a requester is
eligible for Program benefits
