guidelines, and standards for: (a)
Effectively reducing morbidity and
mortality in newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders; and (b) enhancing the ability
of state and local health agencies to
provide for newborn and child
screening, counseling, and health care
services for newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. Specifically, the Committee
makes systematic evidence-based
recommendations on newborn screening
for conditions that have the potential to
change the health outcomes for
newborns.
The Committee tasks an external
workgroup to conduct systematic
evidence based reviews. The reviews are
of rare, genetic conditions and their
corresponding newborn screening
test(s), confirmatory test(s), and
treatment(s). Reviews also include an
analysis of the benefits and harms of
newborn screening for a selected
condition at a population level and an
assessment of state public health
newborn screening programs’ ability to
implement the screening of a new
condition.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA proposes that the
data collection surveys be administered
by the Committee’s external Condition
Review Workgroup to all state newborn
screening programs in the United States
up to twice a year for two conditions.
The surveys were developed to capture
the following: (1) The readiness of state
public health newborn screening
programs to expand newborn screening
to include the target condition; (2)
specific requirements of screening for
the condition would hinder or facilitate
its implementation in each state; and (3)
estimated timeframes needed for each
state to complete major milestones
toward full newborn screening of the
condition.
The data gathered will inform the
Committee on the following: (1)
Feasibility of implementing populationbased screening for the target condition;
(2) readiness of state newborn screening
programs to adopt screening for the
condition; (3) identify gaps in feasibility
or readiness to screen for the condition;
and (4) identify areas of technical
assistance and resources needed to
facilitate screening for conditions with
low feasibility or readiness.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
to the survey will be state newborn
screening programs.
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
summarized in the table below.

The purpose of this grant program is to:
(1) Purchase automated external
defibrillators (AEDs) that have been
approved, or cleared for marketing, by
the Food and Drug Administration; (2)
provide defibrillator and basic life
support training in automated external
defibrillator usage through the

American Red Cross, or other nationally
recognized training courses; and (3)
place the AEDs in rural communities

the program; (b) the number of AEDs
purchased and placed and the locations
of the placements; (c) the number of
training sessions and the number of
individuals trained; (d) the number of
times an AED is used and the outcome;
and (e) the number of lay persons and
first responders who administer CPR or
use an AED on an individual. These
measures will speak to the Office’s
progress toward meeting the set goals.

Statutory Authority
The Indian Health Service (IHS)
Office of Tribal Self-Governance (OTSG)
is accepting limited competition
Planning Cooperative Agreement
applications for the Tribal SelfGovernance Program (TSGP). This
program is authorized under Title V of
the Indian Self-Determination and
Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25
U.S.C. 458aaa–2(e). This program is
described in the Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance (CFDA), available
at https://www.cfda.gov/, under 93.444.
Background
The TSGP is more than an IHS
program; it is an expression of the
government-to-government relationship
between the United States and Indian
Tribes. Through the TSGP, Tribes
negotiate with the IHS to assume
Programs, Services, Functions and
Activities (PSFAs), or portions thereof,
which gives Tribes the authority to

manage and tailor health care programs
in a manner that best fits the needs of
their communities.
Participation in the TSGP is one of
three ways that Tribes can choose to
obtain health care from the Federal
Government for their members.
Specifically, Tribes can choose to: (1)
Receive health care services directly
from the IHS, (2) contract with the IHS
to administer individual PSFAs that the
IHS would otherwise provide (referred
to as Title I Self-Determination
Contracting), or (3) compact with the
IHS to assume control over healthcare
PSFAs that the IHS would otherwise
provide (referred to as Title V SelfGovernance Compacting or the TSGP).
These options are not exclusive and
Tribes may choose to combine options
based on their individual needs and
circumstances. Participation in the
TSGP affords Tribes the most flexibility
to tailor health care PSFAs to the needs
of their communities.
The TSGP is a Tribally-driven
initiative and strong Tribal/Federal
partnerships are essential for program
success. The IHS established the OTSG
to implement Tribal Self-Governance
authorities. The OTSG: (1) Serves as the
primary liaison and advocate for Tribes
participating in the TSGP, (2) develops,
directs, and implements Tribal SelfGovernance policies and procedures, (3)
provides information and technical
