Proposed Collection; 60-Day Comment Request; Cancer Epidemiology Descriptive Cohort Database (NCI), 34766-34767 [2014-14275]

Download as PDF 34766 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 117 / Wednesday, June 18, 2014 / Notices board members, officers, employees, and contractors into one comprehensive application that also includes volunteer health care professionals, and (2) a fully electronic application that can be submitted via HRSA’s web based application system, the Electronic Handbooks (EHBs). It is anticipated that these modifications will decrease the time and effort required to complete the current OMB approved FTCA application forms. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Deemed status for FTCA medical malpractice coverage requires HRSA approval of an application for deeming of certain eligible individuals from a sponsoring free clinic. The FTCA Free Clinic deeming application is an electronic application submitted to HRSA through the EHBs as part of the process of deeming qualified health care professionals, board members, officers, and individual contractors. Sponsoring clinics are required to submit a completed electronic application in addition to other required documents as required by section 224(o) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 233(o)). Applications are reviewed by program staff before a deeming determination is made. Likely Respondents: Respondents include nonprofit private entities that meet the statutory and programmatic requirements as stated in section 224(o) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 233(o)). 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. Total Estimated Annualized burden hours: Form name Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Total responses Average burden per response (in hours) Total burden hours FTCA Free Clinics Program Application .............................. 227 1 227 2 681 Total .............................................................................. 227 1 227 2 681 HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the 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.

In order to achieve these objectives, the HCHS/SOL had two integrated components: 1. Examination of the cohort following a standardized protocol, which consisted of interviews and clinical measurements to assess physiological and biochemical measurements including DNA/RNA extraction for ancillary genetic research studies. 2. Follow-up of the cohort, which consists of an annual telephone interview to assess vital status, changes in health status and medication intake, and new cardiovascular and pulmonary events (including fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction and heart failure; fatal and non-fatal stroke; and exacerbation of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
