Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). The ICR is for reinstatement of
a previously-approved information
collection assigned OMB control
number 4040–0002—SF424–Mandatory,
which expired on May 31, 2014. The
ICR also requests categorizing the form
as a common form, meaning HHS will
only request approval for its own use of
the form rather than aggregating the
burden estimate across all Federal
Agencies as was done for previous
actions on this OMB control number.
Prior to submitting that ICR to OMB,
EGOV seeks comments from the public
regarding the burden estimate, below, or
any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: The 60-day Comment Period
closed on January 5, 2015. No comments
were received. Comments on the ICR
must be received on or before April 13,
2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to
Information.CollectionClearance@
hhs.gov or by calling (202) 690–6162.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Information Collection Clearance staff,
Information.CollectionClearance@
hhs.gov or (202) 690–6162.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Form is
available upon request.
Information Collection Request Title:
SF–424 Mandatory Form.
Abstract: The SF–424 Mandatory
Form provides the Federal grant-making
agencies an alternative to the Standard
Form 424 data set and form. Agencies
may use the SF–424 Mandatory Form
for grant programs not required to
collect all the data that is required on
the SF–424 core data set and form.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: To obtain Federal grants
funds, applicant organizations must
apply to the Federal agency or
organization responsible for
administering the grant program. The
SF–424 Mandatory Form will be used
by applicants to apply for Federal grants
and for Federal agencies to review
submissions for Federal grants funds.
Likely Respondents: Federal grant
applicants.
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

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:
The Patient Safety and
Quality Improvement Act of 2005, 42
U.S.C. 299b-21 to b-26, (Patient Safety
Act) provides for the formation of
Patient Safety Organizations (PSOs),
which collect, aggregate, and analyze
confidential information regarding the
quality and safety of healthcare
delivery. The Patient Safety Act (at 42
U.S.C. 299b–23(b)) authorizes the
collection of this information in a
standardized manner, as explained in
the related Patient Safety and Quality
Improvement Final Rule, 42 CFR part 3
(Patient Safety Rule), published in the
Federal Register on November 21, 2008
(73 FR 70731–70814). AHRQ
coordinates the development of
common definitions and reporting
formats (Common Formats) that allow
healthcare providers to voluntarily
collect and submit standardized
information regarding patient safety
events. In order to support the Common
Formats, AHRQ has provided technical
specifications to promote
standardization by ensuring that data
collected by PSOs and other entities are
clinically and electronically
comparable. More information on the
Common Formats, including the
technical specifications, can be obtained
through AHRQ’s PSO Web site: https://
www.PSO.AHRQ.GOV.
The purpose of this notice is to
announce a meeting to discuss the
Common Formats. This meeting is
designed as an interactive forum where
software developers and PSOs can
provide input on the formats. AHRQ
especially requests participation by and
input from those entities which have
used AHRQ’s technical specifications
and implemented, or plan to implement,
the formats electronically.
DATES: The meeting will be held from
10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, April
24, 2015.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at
the John M. Eisenberg Conference
Center, Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality, 540 Gaither Road,
Rockville, MD 20850.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Patient Safety Act and Patient
Safety Rule establish a framework by
which doctors, hospitals, skilled
nursing facilities, and other health care
providers may voluntarily report
information regarding patient safety
events and quality of care. Information
that is assembled and developed by
providers for reporting to PSOs and the
information received and analyzed by
PSOs—called patient safety work
product—is privileged and confidential.
Patient safety work product is used to
identify events, patterns of care, and
unsafe conditions that increase risks
and hazards to patients. Definitions and
other details about PSOs and patient
safety work product are included in the
Patient Safety Rule.
The Patient Safety Act and Patient
Safety Rule require PSOs, to the extent
practicable and appropriate, to collect
patient safety work product from
providers in a standardized manner in
order to permit valid comparisons of
similar cases among similar providers.
The collection of patient safety work
product allows the aggregation of
sufficient data to identify and address
underlying causal factors of patient
safety problems. Both the Patient Safety
Act and Patient Safety Rule, including
any relevant guidance, can be accessed
electronically at: https://
www.PSO.AHRQ.GOV/LEGISLATION.
In collaboration with the interagency
Federal Patient Safety Workgroup
(PSWG), the National Quality Forum
(NQF) and the public, AHRQ has
developed Common Formats for two
settings of care—acute care hospitals
and skilled nursing facilities—in order
to facilitate standardized data
collection. AHRQ’s Common Formats
include:
• Event descriptions (descriptions of
patient safety events and unsafe
conditions to be reported),
• Specifications for patient safety
aggregate reports and individual event
summaries,
• Delineation of data elements to be
collected for different types of events to
populate the reports,
• A user’s guide and quick guide, and
• Technical specifications for
electronic data collection and reporting.
