The Centers for Disease Control and

information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and

The Laboratory Response Network
(LRN) was established by the
Department of Health and Human
Services, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) in accordance
with Presidential Decision Directive 39,
which outlined national anti-terrorism
policies and assigned specific missions
to Federal departments and agencies.
The LRN’s mission is to maintain an
integrated national and international
network of laboratories that can respond
to acts of biological, chemical, or
radiological terrorism and other public
health emergencies. Federal, State, and
local public health laboratories
voluntarily join the LRN.
The LRN Program Office maintains a
database of information for each
member laboratory that includes contact
information as well as staff and
equipment inventories. However,
semiannually or during emergency
response, the LRN Program Office may
conduct a Special Data Call to obtain
additional information from LRN
Member Laboratories in regards to
biological or chemical terrorism
preparedness. Special Data Calls may be
conducted via queries that are
distributed by broadcast emails or by
survey tools (i.e. Survey Monkey). This
is a request for an extension to this
generic clearance. The only cost to
respondents is their time to respond to
the data call. The total annual burden
hours requested is 400 hours.

comments should be received within 30
days of this notice.
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on ‘‘utilization of health care’’
in the United States. NAMCS NEHRS
has been conducted annually since 2008
as a mail survey supplement under
NAMCS. Questions in NAMCS NEHRS
have been asked in NAMCS starting in
2001. NCHS is seeking OMB approval to
make NAMCS NEHRS as an
independent survey for the next three
years.
The purpose of NEHRS is to measure
progress toward goals for electronic
health records (EHRs) adoption.
NAMCS NEHRS target universe consists
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703

of all non-Federal office-based
physicians (excluding those in the
specialties of anesthesiology, radiology,
and pathology) who are engaged in
direct patient care.
NAMCS NEHRS was initiated as a
mail survey supplement under NAMCS.
NAMCS NEHRS is the principal source
of data on national and state-level EHR
adoption in the United States. In 2008
and 2009, the sample size was 2,000
physicians annually. Starting in 2010,
the annual sample size was increased
five-fold, from 2,000 physicians to
10,302 physicians. The increased
sample size allows for more reliable
national estimates as well as state-level
estimates on EHR adoption without
having to be combined with NAMCS.
For these reasons, it is our intent to have
NEHRS stand as an independent survey,
not as a supplement under NAMCS.
NAMCS NEHRS collects information
on characteristics of physician practices,
the capabilities of EHRs in those
practices, and intent to apply for
meaningful use incentive payments.
These data, together with trend data,
may be used to monitor the adoption of
EHR as well as accessing factors
associated with EHR adoption.

Additionally, half the sample will
receive additional content related to
effects that EHRs have on clinical
workflow, efficiencies, and may address
issues of access, quality, and costs of
associated with the delivery of health
care. Subsequent years of the entire
2014 NEHRS may receive longitudinal
follow-up to evaluate the effect of EHR
on the delivery of health care over time.
Users of NAMCS NEHRS data
include, but are not limited to,
Congressional offices, Federal agencies,
state and local governments, schools of
public health, colleges and universities,
private industry, nonprofit foundations,
professional associations, clinicians,
researchers, administrators, and health
planners.
NAMCS NEHRS will survey 10,302
physicians a year, for eligibility. It is
expected that all physicians will
participate in an interview annually. In
2014, one-half of the physicians will
receive the regular NAMCS NEHRS and
one-half of the physicians will receive
an expanded NAMCS NEHRS. All the
2014 eligible physicians (10,302) will be
asked to take the follow-up NAMCS
NEHRS in 2015 and 2016.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are
7,155.

National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC)—Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Safe, stable, nurturing relationships
and environments set children on a
positive trajectory for optimal child
development and health, provide a
buffer against the effects of adverse
child experiences, are fundamental to
healthy brain development and have a
positive impact on a broad range of
health problems across the life course.
Promoting safe, stable, nurturing
relationships and environments may
also reduce child maltreatment which is
a significant public health problem
affecting physical and emotional health
throughout the lifespan.
NCIPC has funded five state health
departments in Fiscal Year 2014 to
coordinate and manage existing and
new partnerships with other sectors to
promote safe, stable, nurturing
relationships and environments for
children; and work with partners to
identify strategies across sectors that
promote safe, stable, nurturing
relationships and environments. CDC
requests OMB approval for two years to
collect information that will establish
the baseline level of state health
departments’ and partners’ awareness
and commitment to ensuring safe,

Information will be collected over a 2year period from 3 staff members from
each of the 5 health departments (15
respondents), and 3 staff members from
each of the 5 health departments’ 10
partner organizations (150
respondents)—for a total of 165
respondents (83 respondents per year).
Information will be collected once using
SurveyMonkey®, an electronic webbased interface which is a secure Web
site that meets the Safe Harbor and
European Union data protection
requirements. This ICR will only collect
data pertaining to organizations. No
individual identifiable information will
be requested.
Each grantee will receive a
personalized advance notification letter,
followed by an email with a link to the
SurveyMonkey® site. In turn, the
grantee will send a personalized
advance notification letter, followed by
an email with a link to the
SurveyMonkey® site to each new
partner throughout the funding period.
CDC will use this information to
establish state health departments’ and
partners’ level of awareness and
commitment at the start of the funding
period.
There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are 39.
