keeping and reporting requirements in
order to perform the functions related to
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
under contract to the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS). The
Act requires the Secretary to contract for
the establishment and maintenance of
information related to patients who
have received stem cell therapeutic
products and to do so using a
standardized, electronic format. Data is
collected from transplant centers by the
Center for International Blood and
Marrow Transplant Research and is
used for ongoing analysis of transplant
outcomes. HRSA uses the information
in order to carry out its statutory
responsibilities. Information is needed
to monitor the clinical status of
transplantation and to provide the
Secretary of HHS with an annual report
of transplant center-specific survival
data. The increase in burden, as
reflected in this revised submission
request, is due to an increase in the
annual number of transplants and
increasing survivorship after
transplantation.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
Combating Autism Act Initiative
Evaluation OMB No. 0915–0335
[Revision].
Abstract: In response to the growing
need for research and resources devoted
to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and
other developmental disabilities (DD),
the U.S. Congress passed the Combating
Autism Act (CAA) in 2006. The Act
included funding for the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA), to
increase awareness, reduce barriers to
screening and diagnosis, promote
evidence-based interventions, and train
health care professionals to screen for,
diagnose or rule out, and provide
evidence-based interventions for ASD

and other DD. In 2011, the Combating
Autism Reauthorization Act (CARA)
was signed into law, reauthorizing
funding for the CAA’s programs for an
additional 3 years at the existing
funding levels. Through the CARA,
HRSA is tasked with increasing
awareness of ASD and other DD,
reducing barriers to screening and
diagnosis, promoting evidence-based
interventions, and training health care
professionals in the use of valid and
reliable screening and diagnostic tools.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA’s activities under
the CARA legislation are delegated to
the Maternal and Child Health Bureau
(MCHB), which is implementing the
Combating Autism Act Initiative (CAAI)
in response to the legislative mandate.
The purpose of this evaluation is to
design and implement an evaluation to
assess the effectiveness of MCHB’s
activities in meeting the goals and
objectives of the CAAI and to provide
sufficient data to inform MCHB and the
Congress as to the utility of the grant
programs funded under the Initiative.
The evaluation will focus on indicators
related to: (1) Increasing awareness of
ASD and other DD among health care
providers, other MCH professionals, and
the general public; (2) reducing barriers
to screening and diagnosis; (3)
supporting research on evidence-based
interventions; (4) promoting the
E:\FR\FM\11DEN1.SGM

development of evidence-based
guidelines and tested/validated
intervention tools; (5) training
professionals; and (6) building capacity
for systems of services in states.
