projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), the
Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) announces
plans to submit an Information
Collection Request (ICR), described

Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the
ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments
from the public regarding the burden
estimate, below, or any other aspect of
the ICR.

Information Collection Request Title:
Information/Referral and Professional
Training Surveys
(OMB No. 0915–xxxx)—[New]
Abstract: These surveys are designed
to collect information from recipients of
information/referral services and
professional training provided by the
following two HRSA-funded programs:
(1) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State
Implementation Partnership Grants and
(2) Protection and Advocacy for TBI
Grants. Additionally, grant recipients
administering these surveys will submit
a summary report aggregating the
responses from these two surveys.
The authority for this program is the
Public Health Service Act, Title XII,
Section 1252, as amended (42 U.S.C.
300d–52). Per the authorizing
legislation, the intent of these programs
is to improve access to rehabilitation
and other services regarding traumatic
brain injury. The HRSA State
Implementation Partnership Grants and
State Protection and Advocacy Grants
support this charge by providing
information to individuals with TBI and
their families about TBI, and making
referrals to local providers equipped to
meet the unique needs of each survivor.
Additionally, these grant programs train
providers in various settings to identify
and effectively serve individuals with
TBI and their families.
Individuals with TBI present with a
host of different symptoms, which exist
with varying levels of severity.
Comprehensive, appropriate care often
requires a variety of services such as
physical rehabilitation, speech
rehabilitation, cognitive rehabilitation,
special education accommodations,
vocational skills coaching, and
independent living skills training. These
services are often located across many
state/local agencies and providers. For
this reason, individuals with TBI and
their family members often have
difficulty identifying local providers
with the skills and expertise to deliver
services that will promote recovery and
maximize independence.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA proposes that the
data collection surveys be administered
by grant recipients to individuals with
TBI, their family members, and
professional providers for two categories
of activities—information/referral
services and professional training.
These surveys were developed to
capture the following: (1) The
effectiveness of information and referral
services provided to individuals with
TBI and their family members, and (2)
the effectiveness of training about TBI
for professionals who may encounter

06AUN1
45816
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 151 / Wednesday, August 6, 2014 / Notices
individuals with TBI in their work roles.
In addition to providing uniform data
across these grant programs, the data
will help determine what efforts might
improve outreach and provision of
services for future projects. Grantees
will report the data to HRSA in an
annual summary report.
Likely Respondents: Individuals with
TBI, their family members, and
professional providers in various
settings will be the likely respondents
for these surveys. Recipients of both the
State Implementation Partnership
Grants and the Protection and Advocacy
Grants programs will be the respondents
for the summary report.
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.

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.
