SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

ADDRESSES:
A. Purpose
The Helium Act (Pub. L. 86–777) (50
U.S.C. 167a, et seq.) and the Department
of the Interior’s implementing
regulations (30 CFR parts 601 and 602)
require Federal agencies to procure all
major helium requirements from the
Bureau of Land Management,
Department of the Interior.
FAR 8.5, Acquisition of Helium, and
the clause 52.208–8 Required Sources
for Helium and Helium Usage Data,
requires that the Contractor provide to
the Contracting Officer the following
data within 10 days after the Contractor
or subcontractor receives a delivery of
helium from a Federal helium supplier;
(i) The name of the supplier; (ii) The
amount of helium purchased; (iii) The
delivery date(s); and (iv) the location
where the helium was used. Such
information will facilitate enforcement
of the requirements of the Helium Act
and the contractual provisions requiring
the use of Government helium by
agency contractors.
The information is used in
administration of certain Federal
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:01 Apr 01, 2014
Jkt 232001
contracts to ensure contractor
compliance with contract clauses.
Without the information, the required
use of Government helium cannot be
monitored and enforced effectively.
The FAR requires that the contractor
provide helium purchase information 10
days after delivery from a federal
helium supplier, not for the contractor
to forecast what they are going to
purchase. In consultation with subject
matter experts at the Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Land Management,
Helium Operations, the number of
responses per year was verified as being
within an acceptable range, as was the
average time required to read and
prepare information which was
estimated at 1 hour per response. No
changes to the FAR are necessary.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 26.
Responses Per Respondent: 1.
Total Responses: 26.
Hours per Response: 1.
Total Burden Hours: 26.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of functions of the FAR,
and whether it will have practical
utility; whether our estimate of the
public burden of this collection of
information is accurate, and based on
valid assumptions and methodology;
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways in which we can
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, through the use of appropriate
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Obtaining Copies of Proposals:
Requesters may obtain a copy of the
information collection documents from

Information Collection Request Title:
The Blue Button Connector.
Abstract: The Blue Button Connector
is a Web site that helps consumers and
patients find their own health
information online from the entities that
collect their information (ie hospitals,
physicians, labs, immunization
registries, state health information
exchanges etc). The Connector also
helps developers build tools that
respond to the readiness of the market.
It also will provide links to apps and
tools for consumers that use structured
electronic health data.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The site’s value will only
increase if more healthcare
organizations have the ability to list
themselves on the Connector as an
organization that is providing health
data back to patients, a patient’s
designee or caregivers. For this reason,
it is important to enable the capability
for organizations to sign up to be listed
on the Connector and update their

profile pages on an ongoing basis as
they improve their offerings and
features to patients. We would like for
this capability to exist for no more than
3 years.
Likely Respondents: Any entity
providing health services to patients
and or collecting health information on
consumers which includes but is not
limited to: hospitals, physicians, labs,
immunization registries, and state
health information exchanges.
Respondents will also include
application developers with the
capability to consume health
information in a structured format from
a patient.
Burden Statement: Organizations that
would like to be listed on the Connector
will fill out a 3–5 minute survey of nine
18553
questions. The survey will ask health
data holding organizations to provide
basic information about their access
capabilities, reach, contact information
and links to where patients could go to
get their health data. The total annual
burden hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Community Assessment for Public
Health Emergency Response
(CASPER)—New—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a new Generic Information Collection
Request (ICR) for the Community
Assessment for Public Health
Emergency Response (CASPER).
CASPER is an effective public health
tool designed to quickly provide lowcost, household-based information
about a community’s needs and health
status in a simple, easy-to-understand
format for decision-makers. A CASPER
can be conducted any time the public
health needs of a community are not

well known, including as part of
disaster/emergency response to help
inform decision making and distribution
of resources, or in non-emergency
settings to assess the public health
needs of a community. In all situations,
CASPER provides timely public health
information that is essential when
engaging in sound public health action.
In order for a CASPER to be initiated
by CDC, a state, local, tribal, or
territorial jurisdiction must first invite
CDC to participate in a CASPER.
Communities are identified by local,
state, or regional emergency managers
and health department officers. The
process for conducting a CASPER
includes planning and preparation, field
work, analysis, and sharing results with
stakeholders. Planning can take 24
hours to several months depending on
the type of CASPER being conducted.
Field work takes approximately five
days. Due to emergency situations under
which CASPERs are often requested by
states (e.g., hurricane response, oil
spill), it is important that CDC has the
ability to gain urgent approval for data
collection.
The CASPER uses a validated
statistical methodology that includes a
two-stage probability sampling
technique to collect information from a
representative sample of 210
households in the community. Within
the community, 30 clusters (typically
census tracts) are selected based on
probability proportional to size and,
within each cluster, seven households
are randomly selected for interview.
Participation in a CASPER
questionnaire is voluntary. Consenting
participants are not provided incentives
