diagnosed with cancer and other
radiogenic diseases caused by exposure
to nuclear fallout or nuclear materials
such as uranium. RESEP funds support
eligible health care organizations in
implementing cancer screening
programs; developing education
programs; disseminating information on
radiogenic diseases and the importance
of early detection; screening eligible
individuals for cancer and other
radiogenic diseases; providing
appropriate referrals for medical
treatment; and facilitating
documentation of Radiation Exposure
Compensation Act (RECA) claims.
Need and Proposed Use of the

RESEP program medical user patient
population; (b) medical screening
activities for cancers and other
radiogenic diseases; (c) exposure and
presentation types for eligible
radiogenic malignant and nonmalignant diseases; (d) referrals for
appropriate medical treatment; (e)
eligibility counseling and referral
assistance for the RECA and Energy
Employees Occupational Illness

program outreach and education
activities. These measures will speak to
the Office’s progress toward meeting the
goals set.

System Assessment Surveys OMB No.
0906–xxxx—New.
Abstract: The purpose of the public
health system assessment surveys is to
inform the Secretary’s Discretionary
Advisory Committee on Heritable
Disorders in Newborns and Children
(Committee) on the ability to add
newborn screening for particular
conditions within a state, including the
feasibility, readiness, and overall
capacity to screen for a new condition.
The Committee was established under
the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C.
217a: Advisory Councils or Committees.
This Committee fulfills the functions
previously undertaken by the former
Secretary’s Advisory Committee on
Heritable Disorders in Newborns and
Children, established under section
1111 of the Public Health Service Act
(PHS), 42 U.S.C. 300b–10, as amended
in the Newborn Screening Saves Lives
Act of 2008. The Committee is governed
by the provisions of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as
amended (5 U.S.C. App.), which sets
forth standards for the formation and
use of advisory committees. The
purpose of the Committee is to provide
the Secretary with recommendations,
advice, and technical information
regarding the most appropriate
application of technologies, policies,
E:\FR\FM\20FEN1.SGM
20FEN1
9270
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 34 / Friday, February 20, 2015 / Notices
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
