SUPPLMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Data Collection Tool for State Offices of
Rural Health Grant Program (SORH).
OMB No. 0915–0322—Extension.
Abstract: The mission of the Office of
Rural Health Policy (ORHP) is to sustain
and improve access to quality care
services for rural communities. In its
authorizing language (Sec. 711 of the
Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 912]),
Congress charged ORHP with
administering grants, cooperative
agreements, and contracts to provide
technical assistance and other activities
as necessary to support activities related
to improving health care in rural areas.
In accordance with the Public Health
Service Act, Section 338J; 42 U.S.C.
254r, the Health Resources and Services
Administration proposes to revise the
State Offices of Rural Health Grant
Program—Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) and Forms for the
Application. The FOA is used annually
by 50 states in preparing applications
for grants under the State Offices of
Rural Health Grant Program of the
Public Health Service Act, and in
preparing the required report.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: ORHP seeks to continue
gathering information from grantees on
their efforts to provide technical
assistance to clients within their state.
SORH grantees would be required to
submit a Technical Assistance Report
that includes: (1) The total number of
technical assistance encounters
provided directly by the grantee; and,
(2) the total number of unduplicated
clients that received direct technical
assistance from the grantee. Submission
of the Technical Assistance Report
would be done via submission to the
HRSA Electronic Handbook no later
than 30 days after the end of each
twelve month budget period.
Likely Respondents: Fifty State
Offices of Rural Health 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Survey of Eligible Users of the National
Practitioner Data Bank.
OMB No. 0915-xxxx—New.
Abstract: The Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) plans
to conduct a survey of eligible users of
the National Practitioner Data Bank
(NPDB). The respondent universe is
comprised of both users and non-users
that are eligible to report to the NPDB,
query the NPDB, or both, between
January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2012.
The survey aims to assess the overall
satisfaction of NPDB users with regard
to reporting and querying processes.
Additionally, the survey will evaluate
the effectiveness of the NPDB as an
information source and measure user
perception of the utility of NPDB
information when hiring, licensing,
credentialing, and monitoring health
care practitioners. The survey will also
collect information from eligible nonusers of the NPDB to assess what can be
done to motivate eligible non-users to
register, access, and use the information
available in the NPDB.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The survey will be administered to
three populations of interest: Eligible
users, eligible non-users, and selfqueriers. First, eligible users of the
NPDB include entities who queried the
NPDB, reported to the NPDB, or both,
during the defined time frame. Entities
that used an authorized agent to fulfill
their reporting or querying requirements
will be considered eligible users.
Second, eligible non-users of the NPDB
are those that: (i) Never registered with
the NPDB; (ii) registered prior to 2010
and were not currently registered during
the survey time frame; and (iii) were
registered but not using the NPDB
directly or through an authorized agent.
Third, those that self-query the NPDB
include health care practitioners that
submitted a query during the specified
time frame to either verify their own
status or to provide a copy of the results
to a third party. The majority of selfqueriers are health care practitioners;
however, this population can include
medical service providers and medical
suppliers.
Eligible NPDB users and eligible nonusers who were previously registered or
were currently registered but not using
the NPDB will be asked to complete a
web-based survey. Eligible non-users
that were never registered with the
NPDB will be contacted via telephone to
obtain email information so that they
will be able to complete a web-based
survey. The survey will collect
additional information from users that
receive a matched response. A matched
response occurs when an eligible user
queries the NPDB and, in turn, receives
a response that the subject of the query
has a report in the NPDB. This survey
is a follow-up to the NPDB users and
non-users survey of 2008. Data gathered
from the survey will be compared with
previous surveys results. This survey
will provide HRSA with the information
necessary to improve the usability and
effectiveness of the NPDB.
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

data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
