DATES:
OMB No. 0915–xxxx—New.
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 program
supports projects that seek to reduce the
morbidity and mortality associated with
occupationally-related coal mine dust
lung disease. Primary services provided
for active, inactive, disabled, and retired
coal miners include screening,
diagnosis, and treatment. Data collected
will provide information on patient
demographics, provision and quality of
services, and patient outcomes. This
data will help to ensure grantees are
meeting the overall program goals,
which include reducing the morbidity
of coal mine dust lung disease (CMDLD)
and secondary conditions; enhancing
access to quality services; and

increasing coordination among service
providers.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The various measures on
number of patients served in medical
and nonmedical encounters will ensure
that clinics are providing screening,
diagnosis, and treatment services as
well as compensation counseling. HRSA
will be able to determine the number of
new patients with an initial diagnosis of
lung disease as a result of coal mine
employment and the number of patients
initially eligible for benefits. Other
measures will account for secondary
conditions common to miners (e.g.,
cardiovascular disease) and the number
of insured (vs. uninsured patients). All
of this information will assist HRSA in
meeting congressional reporting
requirements under the Government
Reporting and Performance Act of 1993
and in ensuring the needs of the
nation’s coal miners are met.
Likely Respondents: Current and
prospective 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.

Proposed Collection: The
Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities
Study (ARIC),—Revised, National Heart,
Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI),
National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The purpose and use of the
information collection for this project is
to examine the major factors
contributing to the occurrence of and
the trends for cardiovascular diseases
among men, women, African Americans
and white persons in four U.S.
communities: Forsyth County, North
Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; suburbs
of Minneapolis, Minnesota; and
Washington County, Maryland. The
cohort in Jackson is selected to
represent only African American
residents of the city. The primary
objectives of the study are to: (1)
investigate factors associated with both
atherosclerosis and clinical
cardiovascular diseases and (2) measure
occurrence of and trend in coronary
heart disease (CHD) and heart failure
and relate them to community levels of
risk factors, medical care, and
atherosclerosis.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
15,714.
Written comments and/or suggestions
from the public and affected agencies
are invited on one or more of the
following points: (1) Whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the function of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) The accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
