SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Titles: VHA Homeless Programs,
Project CHALENG (Community
Homelessness Assessment, Local
Education and Networking Groups) for
Veterans.
OMB Control Number: 2900–NEW,
(VHA Homeless Programs, Project
CHALENG (Community Homelessness
Assessment, Local Education and
Networking Groups)).
Type of Review: New collection.
Abstract: In 1993 the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) launched Project
CHALENG (Community Homelessness
Assessment, Local Education and
Networking Groups) for Veterans in
response to Public Law 102–405 which
required VA to make an assessment of
the needs of homeless Veterans in
coordination with other Federal
departments, state and local government
agencies, and nongovernmental agencies
with experience working with homeless
persons. Since 1993, VA has
administered a needs assessment in
accordance with guidance in Public Law
103–446 and Public Law 105–114.
This collection of information is
necessary to ensure that VA and
community partners are developing
services that are responsive to the needs
of local homeless Veterans, in order to
end homelessness and prevent new
Veterans from experiencing
homelessness. Over the years data from
CHALENG has assisted VA in
developing new services for Veterans
such as the Homeless Veteran Dental
Program (HVDP), the expansion of the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development–VA Supportive Housing
(HUD–VASH) Program, the Veterans
Justice Programs and Supportive
Services for Veteran Families (SSVF). In
addition community organizations use
CHALENG data in grant applications to
support services for homeless Veterans;
grant applications are for VA, other
Federal, local government, and
community foundation dollars, which
maximizes community participation in
serving homeless Veterans.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,650
burden hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 5 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15,000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA’s
policy and implementation plan for
increased public access to the results of
its research was developed in response
to White House initiatives on federally
funded scientific research. In its
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00141
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
60751
February 22, 2013, memorandum, the
White House Office of Science and
Technology Policy (OSTP) directed each
federal agency with over $100 million in
annual expenditures for the conduct of
research and development to develop a
plan to support increased public access
to the results of research funded by the
federal government, including digital
data sets and results published in peerreviewed scholarly publications arising
directly from federally-funded research
(OSTP, Increasing Access to the Results
of Federally Funded Scientific Research,
February 22, 2013).
In implementing policies on public
access to research publications and
digital research data, VA must first
remain cognizant of its ethical and legal
obligations to safeguard the privacy of
Veterans (and VA’s other research
subjects) and the confidentiality of their
private information, while promoting
the highest quality science. VA also
recognizes that Veterans and the public
at large have a substantive interest in
accessing the results of the research that
VA conducts. VA’s responsibility
precludes unlimited public access to
private information about individual
research subjects. With this in mind, VA
has carefully weighed the public
benefits versus the risks of harm to
Veterans and other research subjects in
establishing the requirements.
VA is committed to ensuring that the
final study results, including peerreviewed publications and digital data
from VA-funded scientific research, are
made available to the scientific
community, industry, and the general
public with the fewest constraints
possible, while protecting the privacy of
the Veterans (and others individuals)
about whom research data are obtained
and safeguarding the confidentiality of
their data.
Requirements for public access to
scientific publications will apply to all
peer-reviewed publications reporting
results of research that are either funded
by the VA Office of Research and
Development (ORD) or conducted,
supported, or sponsored by any
Veterans Health Administration (VHA)
Program Office.
Requirements for public access to
digital data will apply to the final
research data underlying all peerreviewed publications reporting results
of research that is either funded by the
VA ORD or conducted, supported, or
sponsored by any VHA Program Office.
VA proposes to begin sharing digital
research data through controlled public
access mechanisms and move toward
open public access to the extent that the
protection of Veterans’ identifiable
private information can be ensured.
