Cancer Prevention and Control Research
Network. The survey was found to be
useful by CDC and the grantees (which
received feedback reports). For example,
after the each survey administration,
CDC was able to tailor sessions at the
Program Director’s meeting to the needs
of grantees that had been expressed
during last year’s information
collection. DCPC has decided to
continue the data collection, and is
being supported through the National
Association of Chronic Disease
Directors. CDC’s proposed survey builds
on previous information collections
conducted from 2011–2013 through the
CPCRN.
Questions are of various types
including dichotomous and multiple
response. All information is to be
collected electronically through the
web-based survey. The estimated
burden per response is 75 minutes.
This assessment will enable CDC to
gauge its progress in meeting CRCCP
program goals, identify implementation
activities, monitor program transition to
efforts aimed at impacting populationbased screening, identify technical
assistance needs of state, tribe and
territorial health department cancer
control programs, and identify
implementation models with potential
to expand and transition to new settings
to increase program impact and reach.
The assessment will identify successful
activities that should be maintained,
replicated, or expanded as well as
provide insight into areas that need
improvement.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation is voluntary for
CRCCP awardees and there are no costs
to respondents other than their time.
The total estimated annualized burden
hours are 36.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Voluntary Partner Surveys to Implement
Executive Order 12862 in the Health
Resources and Services Administration.
OMB No. 0915–0212—Extension.
Abstract: In response to Executive
Order 12862, the Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA)
proposes to conduct voluntary customer
surveys of its partners to assess
strengths and weaknesses in program
services and processes. HRSA partners
are typically state or local governments,
health care facilities, health care
consortia, health care providers, and
researchers. HRSA is requesting a
generic approval from OMB to conduct
the partner surveys.
Partner surveys to be conducted by
HRSA might include, for example,
online or telephone surveys of grantees
to determine satisfaction with grant
processes or technical assistance
provided by a contractor, or in-class
evaluation forms completed by
providers who receive training from
ADDRESSES:

HRSA grantees, to measure satisfaction
with the training experience. Results of
these surveys will be used to plan and
redirect resources and efforts as needed
to improve services and processes.
Focus groups may also be used to gain
partner input into the design of mail
and telephone surveys. Focus groups,
in-class evaluation forms, mail surveys,
and telephone surveys are expected to
be the preferred data collection
methods.
A generic approval allows HRSA to
conduct a limited number of partner
surveys without a full-scale OMB
review of each survey. If generic
approval is approved, information on
each individual partner survey will not
be published in the Federal Register.
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.

incorporates the requirements specified
in the CLIA regulations. Form Number:

2. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a

National Coverage Determination (NCD)
entitled, ‘‘Transcatheter Mitral Valve
Repair (TMVR)’’. The TMVR device is
only covered when specific conditions
are met including that the heart team
and hospital are submitting data in a
prospective, national, audited registry.
The data includes patient, practitioner
and facility level variables that predict
outcomes such as all-cause mortality
and quality of life.
We find that the Society of Thoracic
Surgery/American College of Cardiology
Transcatheter Valve Therapy (STS/ACC
TVT) Registry, one registry overseen by
the National Cardiovascular Data
Registry, meets the requirements
specified in the NCD on TMVR. The
TVT Registry will support a national
surveillance system to monitor the
safety and efficacy of the TMVR
