Information Collection Request Title:
Standards for Privacy of Individually
Identifiable Health Information,
Security Standards for the Protection of
Electronic Protected Health Information,
and Supporting Regulations Contained
in 45 CFR Parts 160 and 164
OMB No.: 0945–0003.
Abstract: The Office for Civil Rights
(OCR) is notifying the public of
revisions to a previously approved OCR
data collection. The revisions reflect
certain regulatory modifications to the
HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules,
pursuant to the Health Information for
Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)
Act and the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), that
were finalized in the Omnibus HIPAA
Final Rule published on January 25,
2013 (78 FR 5566). These modifications
strengthen privacy and security
protections for individually identifiable
health information used or disclosed by
business associates and enhance the
rights of individuals with respect to
their identifiable health information.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information collection
addresses HIPAA requirements related
to the use, disclosure, and safeguarding
of individually identifiable health
information by covered entities affected
by the HIPAA Rules. The information is
routinely used by covered entities and
business associates for treatment,
payment, and health care operations. In
addition, the information is used for
specified public policy purposes,
including research, public health, and
as required by other laws. The Privacy
Rule also ensures that the individuals
are able to exercise certain rights with
respect to their information, including
the rights to access and seek
amendments to their health records and
to receive a Notice of Privacy Practices
(NPP) from their direct treatment
providers and health plans.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include HIPAA covered entities and
their business associates, as well as
members of the public.
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 ICR are
summarized in the tables below.
