SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: OMB Control No. 0917–0036, Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery: IHS Customer Service Satisfaction and Similar Surveys. Abstract: The IHS will be engaging in information collection activities that will garner qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery within Federal Agencies. Qualitative feedback is information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to the population of study. This feedback will provide insight into customer or stakeholder perceptions, opinions, experiences and expectations, and provide an early warning of issues with service. Also, the collection of qualitative feedback will assist IHS to focus its attention on areas where communication, training, or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between the Agency and its customers and stakeholders. Furthermore, the collection activity will allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback or information collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative collection will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target population to which generalizations will be made, sampling frame, sample design (including stratification and clustering), precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential non-response bias, protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:31 May 11, 2015 Jkt 235001 mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. The Agency received zero (0) comments in response to the 60-day notice published in the Federal Register of March 2, 2015 (80 FR 11206). Below are provided Indian Health Services projected average estimates for the next three years: 1 Current Actions: Extension of approval for a collection of information. Type of Review: Extension.

Hand Delivery/Courier: 530 Davis Drive, Room 2136, Morrisville, NC 27560. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The RoC is a congressionally mandated, sciencebased, public health report that identifies agents, substances, mixtures, or exposures (collectively called ‘‘substances’’) in our environment that pose a cancer hazard for people in the United States. The NTP prepares the RoC on behalf of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The NTP follows an established, fourpart process for preparation of the RoC (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/rocprocess). A RoC monograph is prepared for each candidate substance selected for review for the RoC. A draft RoC monograph consists of (1) a cancer evaluation component that reviews all information that may bear on a listing decision, assesses its quality and sufficiency for reaching a listing decision, applies the RoC listing criteria to the relevant scientific information, and recommends a listing status for the candidate substance in the RoC and (2) a substance profile that contains the NTP’s preliminary listing recommendation and a summary of the scientific evidence considered key to reaching that recommendation. Cobalt was selected as a candidate substance following solicitation of public comment, review by the NTP Board of Scientific Counselors on April 16—18, 2014, and approved by the NTP Director (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/ 9741). This meeting is planned for peer review of the Draft RoC Monograph on Cobalt and Certain Cobalt Compounds. Cobalt is a naturally occurring metallic element that exists in different forms. It occurs in the environment in ores where it is combined with other elements such as arsenic and sulfur. Pure cobalt is a grey metal and there are numerous inorganic and organic cobalt compounds, with varying valence states and water solubility. The RoC evaluation includes cobalt metal and certain cobalt compounds—both water soluble and poorly soluble compounds—that can release cobalt ions in biological fluids. One cobalt compound that releases cobalt ions, cobalt sulfate, is listed in the 13th RoC as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/ roc13). The RoC evaluation does not include cobalt forms that have PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 confounding exposures, such as cobalt carbides, alloys and radioactive forms of cobalt or cobalt compounds. It also does not include Vitamin B12, which does not release cobalt ions in vivo. Cobalttungsten carbide: powders and hard metals is listed in the 13th RoC as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen and is not included in this evaluation. Major uses of cobalt include the production of cemented carbides, diamond tools, and superalloys and other alloys used in a variety of commercial, industrial, medical and military applications. Some cobalt compounds are used as pigments for coloring glass, ceramics, and pottery. A more recent use of cobalt is in green energy (e.g., rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and consumer electronics). People are exposed to cobalt in workplaces that process cobalt metals and produce cobalt alloys; exposure to cobalt in their everyday lives may also result from implanted medical devices, consumption of food and drinking water and, to a lesser extent, from breathing contaminated air. Additional information about the review of cobalt and certain cobalt compounds for the RoC is available at https://ntp. niehs.nih.gov/go/730697. Meeting and Registration: This meeting is open to the public with time set aside for oral public comment. The public may attend the meeting at NIEHS, where attendance is limited only by the space available, or view the webcast. Registration is required to view the webcast; the URL for the webcast will be provided in the email confirming registration. Individuals who plan to provide oral comments (see below) are encouraged to register online at the meeting Web site (https:// ntp.niehs.nih.gov/go/38853) by July 15, 2015, to facilitate planning for the meeting. The preliminary agenda and draft monograph should be posted on the NTP Web site (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ go/38853) by June 5, 2015. Additional information will be posted when available or may be requested in hardcopy, see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Following the meeting, a report of the peer review will be prepared and made available on the NTP Web site. Registered attendees are encouraged to access the meeting Web page to stay abreast of the most current information regarding the meeting.
