Services (HHS) as the Director of the
National Vaccine Program. The ASH has

impacting Healthy People 2020 goals. A
review group was established to address
this charge on behalf of the NVAC.

the group has developed draft
recommendations for consideration by
the NVAC to achieve this charge. It is
anticipated that the draft report, as
revised with consideration given to
public comment and stakeholder input,
will be presented in at the NVAC at the
September 2013 meeting for
deliberation and decision on their final
recommendation. The draft report will
be made available for public review and
written comment.
DATES: To receive consideration,
comments should be received no later
than 5:00 p.m. EST on August 16, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
August is National Immunization
Awareness Month and while the United
States has made significant progress
toward eliminating vaccine-preventable
diseases among children, unacceptably
low immunization rates still exist
among many adults. Many adults are
aware of annual influenza vaccination,
but fewer are aware of other
recommended adult vaccines.

Jkt 229001
Additionally, there are many types of
immunization providers and sites, as
well as many missed opportunities
occurring to assess patient vaccination
needs. An updated version of the
National Adult Immunization Standards
provides a framework with the purpose
of collaboration, coordination, and
communication among immunization
stakeholders dedicated to meeting the
immunization needs of the patient and
protecting the community from vaccine
preventable diseases.
NVPO, on behalf of the NVAC,
requests input on the draft report
located on the NVAC Web site at
https://www.hhs.gov/nvpo/nvac/. In
addition to general comments, NVPO is
seeking input on additional gaps not
addressed in the National Adult
Immunization Standards of Practice
draft report, and/or prioritization
criteria and its application. Please limit
comments to 6 pages.
III. Potential Responders
The Department of Health and Human
Services invites input from a broad
range of individuals and organizations
that have interests in adult
immunizations and ways to increase
vaccine coverage in adults. Examples of
potential responders include, but are
not limited to the following:
—general public;
—advocacy groups and public interest
organizations;
—state and local governments;
—state and local health departments;
—healthcare professional societies and
organizations;
—healthcare organizations.
When responding, please self-identify

Information Collection Request Title:
The Teaching Health Center Graduate

Eligible Resident/Full-Time Equivalent
(FTE) Chart.
OMB No. 0915–xxxx NEW.
Abstract: The THCGME Program
Eligible Resident/FTE Chart published
in the THCGME Funding Opportunity
Announcements (FOAs) is a means for
determining the number of eligible
residents/FTEs in an applicant’s
primary care residency program. The
chart requires applicants to provide data
related to the size and/or growth of the
residency program over previous
academic years, the number of residents
enrolled in the program during the
baseline academic year, and a projection
of the program’s proposed expansion
over the next four academic years.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The THCGME Program
Eligible Resident/FTE Chart published
in the THCGME FOAs is a means for
determining the number of eligible
residents/FTEs in an applicant’s
primary care residency program. The
chart requires applicants to provide data
related to the size and/or growth of the
residency program over previous
academic years, the number of residents
enrolled in the program during the
baseline academic year, and a projection
of the program’s proposed expansion
over the next four academic years. It is
imperative that applicants complete this
chart and provide evidence of a planned
expansion, as per the statute, THCGME
program funding may only be used to
support residents in new approved
graduate medical residency training
programs or an expanded number of
residents in existing residency training
programs (Section 340H(a) of the Public
Health Service Act). Utilization of a
chart to gather this important
information has decreased the number
of errors in the eligibility review process
resulting in a more accurate review and
funding process. Likely Respondents:
The likely respondents are applicants
for the THCGME Program.
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
