Information Collection Request Title:
Black Lung Clinics Program
Performance Measures OMB No. 0915–
0292—Extension.
Abstract: The Office of Rural Health
Policy (ORHP), Health Resources and
Services Administration, conducts an
annual data collection of user
information for the Black Lung Program,
which has been ongoing, with OMB,
approval since 2004. The purpose of the
Black Lung Clinic Program is to improve
the health status of coal workers by
providing services to minimize the
effects of respiratory and pulmonary
impairments of coal miners, including
treatment required in the management
of problems associated with black lung
disease, which improves the miner’s
quality of life and reduces economic
costs associated with morbidity and
mortality arising from pulmonary
diseases. Collecting this data will
provide HRSA information on how well
each grantee is meeting the needs of
active and retired miners in their
communities.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Data from the annual
report will provide quantitative
information about the clinics,
specifically: (a) The characteristics of
the patients they serve (gender, age,
disability level, and occupation type);
(b) the characteristics of services
provided (medical encounters, nonmedical encounters, benefits
counseling, or outreach); and, (c) the
number of patients served. This
assessment will enable HRSA to provide
data required by Congress under the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993. It will also ensure that
funds are effectively used to provide
services that meet the target population
needs.
Likely Respondents: Black Lung
Clinics Program Grantees.
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.

HRSA specifically 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.

Information Collection Request Title:
Primary Care Faculty Development
Initiative.
OMB No. 0915–xxxx—New.
Abstract: HRSA’s Bureau of Health
Professions, Division of Medicine and
Dentistry, has contracted with Oregon
Health and Science University (OHSU),
contract HHSH250201200023C, to
conduct the planning, execution, and
evaluation of a nationally based,
longitudinal Primary Care Faculty
Development Initiative (PCFDI)
demonstration project. OHSU has
developed web-based survey
instruments which will be used to
evaluate the effectiveness of the planned
curriculum and its implementation and
to make recommendations to improve
teaching and competency assessment in
primary care educational activities. The
two web-based surveys are Irvine’s
Leadership Behavior Survey and the
Faculty Skill & Program Feasibility
Survey. The objectives of the survey
instruments are to assess the feasibility
and acceptability of an interdisciplinary faculty development pilot
program targeting primary care
physicians, to measure the leadership
skills of PCFDI faculty participants, and
to assess the initial impact of faculty
receiving training from an interdisciplinary faculty development pilot
program on their perception of skill
development in the core content areas of
leadership, change management,
teamwork, panel or population
management, competency assessment,
and clinical microsystems.
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

Program. Approximately $4.9M will be
made available in the form of a grant to
current grantees (see below) during the
budget period of 6/1/2013—5/31/2014.
This will provide for an extension of the

section 624 of the American Taxpayer
Relief Act of 2012 (Pub. L. 112–240)
(ATRA) with the least disruption to the
states, communities, and constituencies
that currently receive assistance and
services from these grantees.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Intended
Recipients of the Awards: The 51
incumbent grantees of record (listed
below).
Amount of the Non-Competitive
Awards: Up to $95,700 per grantee.

organizations to ensure families of
children with special health care needs
have access to adequate information
about health and community resources
to facilitate informed and shared
decision-making around their children’s
health care. F2F HICs were originally
authorized under the Budget Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–
171). Congress specified that there be a
family-run/staffed center in each state
and the District of Columbia that, among
other tasks, assists families of children
with special health care needs to make
informed choices about health care in
order to promote good treatment
decisions, cost effectiveness, and
improved health outcomes; and
provides information and educational
opportunities for families, their health
professionals, schools, and other
appropriate entities. The earlier law was
later amended by the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Pub.
L. 111–148), which made funding
available until fiscal year (FY) 2012. As
