Information Collection Request Title:
ASPE Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Research and
Assessment.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting a generic clearance
from the OMB for purposes of
conducting qualitative research. ASPE
conducts qualitative research to gain a
better understanding of emerging health
policy issues, develop future intramural
and extramural research projects, and to
ensure HHS leadership, agencies and
offices have recent data and information
to inform program and policy decisionmaking.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: ASPE’s mission is to
advise the Secretary of the Department
of Health and Human Services on policy
development in health, disability,
human services, data, and science, and
provides advice and analysis on
economic policy. ASPE leads special
initiatives, coordinates the Department’s
evaluation, research and demonstration
activities, and manages crossDepartment planning activities such as
strategic planning, legislative planning,
and review of regulations. Integral to
this role, ASPE conducts research and
evaluation studies, develops policy
analyses, and estimates the cost and
benefits of policy alternatives for HHS
related programs.
The goal of developing these activities
is to identify emerging policy issues and
research gaps to ensure the successful
implementation of HHS programs.
Likely Respondents: Policy experts,
national, state and local health
representatives, healthcare providers,
and representatives of other health
organizations.
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 table below.

proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
