delivery of products or services. These
collections will allow for ongoing,
collaborative and actionable
communications between the Agency
and its customers and stakeholders. It
will also allow feedback to contribute
directly to the improvement of program
management.
Feedback 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 information
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, the sampling frame, the
sample design (including stratification
and clustering), the precision
requirements or power calculations that
justify the proposed sample size, the
expected response rate, methods for
assessing potential non-response bias,
the 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
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results. The Digital
Government Strategy released by the
White House in May, 2012 drives
agencies to have a more customercentric focus. Because of this, GSA
anticipates an increase in requests to
use this generic clearance, as the plan
states that: A customer-centric principle
charges us to do several things: Conduct
research to understand the customer’s
business, needs and desires; ‘‘make
content more broadly available and
accessible and present it through
multiple channels in a program-and
device-agnostic way; make content more
accurate and understandable by
maintaining plain language and content
freshness standards; and offer easy
paths for feedback to ensure we
continually improve service delivery.
The customer-centric principle holds
true whether our customers are internal
(e.g., the civilian and military federal
workforce in both classified and
unclassified environments) or external
(e.g., individual citizens, businesses,
research organizations, and state, local,
and tribal governments).’’

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 68 / Friday, April 8, 2016 / Notices
A. Purpose
The U.S. Government conducts
criminal checks to establish that
applicants or incumbents working for
the Government under contract may
have unescorted access to federally
controlled facilities. GSA uses the
Contractor Information Worksheet; GSA
Form 850, and digitally captured
fingerprints to conduct a FBI National
Criminal Information Check (NCIC) for
each contractor’s physical access
determination to GSA-controlled
facilities and/or logical access to GSAcontrolled information systems. Manual
fingerprint card SF–87 is used for
exception cases such as contractor’s
significant geographical distance from
fingerprint enrollment sites.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Guidance M–05–24 for
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive (HSPD) 12, authorizes Federal
departments and agencies to ensure that
contractors have limited/controlled
access to facilities and information
systems. GSA Directive CIO P 2181.1
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-12, Personal Identity
Verification and Credentialing (available
at https://www.gsa.gov/hspd12), states
that GSA contractors must undergo a
minimum of an FBI National Criminal
Information Check (NCIC) to receive
unescorted physical access to GSAcontrolled facilities and/or logical
access to GSA-controlled information
systems.
Contractors’ Social Security Number
is needed to keep records accurate,
because other people may have the same
name and birth date. Executive Order
9397, Numbering System for Federal
Accounts Relating to Individual
Persons, also allows Federal agencies to
use this number to help identify
individuals in agency records.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 25,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Total Annual Responses: 25,000.

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
intention of the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approve the proposed
information collection project:
‘‘Hospital Survey on Patient Safety
Culture Comparative Database.’’ In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521,
AHRQ invites the public to comment on
this proposed information collection.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by June 7, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be submitted to: Doris Lefkowitz,
Reports Clearance Officer, AHRQ, by
email at doris.lefkowitz@AHRQ.hhs.gov.
Copies of the proposed collection
plans, data collection instruments, and
specific details on the estimated burden
can be obtained from the AHRQ Reports
Clearance Officer.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Proposed Project
Hospital Survey on Patient Safety
Culture Comparative Database
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine
called for health care organizations to
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
develop a ‘‘culture of safety’’ such that
their workforce and processes focus on
improving the reliability and safety of
care for patients (IOM, 1999; To Err is
Human: Building a Safer Health
System). To respond to the need for
tools to assess patient safety culture in
health care, AHRQ developed and pilot
tested the Hospital Survey on Patient
Safety Culture with OMB approval
(OMB NO. 0935–0115; Approved
2/4/2003).
The survey is designed to enable
hospitals to assess staff opinions about
patient safety issues, medical errors, and
error reporting. The survey includes 42
items that measure 12 composites of
patient safety culture. AHRQ made the
survey publicly available along with a
Survey User’s Guide and other toolkit
materials in November 2004 on the
AHRQ Web site (located at https://
www.ahrq.gov/professionals/qualitypatient-safety/patientsafetyculture/
hospital/). Since its release,
the survey has been voluntarily used by
hundreds of hospitals in the U.S.
The Hospital SOPS Comparative
Database consists of data from the
AHRQ Hospital Survey on Patient
Safety Culture. Hospitals in the U.S. are
asked to voluntarily submit data from
the survey to AHRQ, through its
contractor, Westat. The Hospital SOPS
Database (OMB NO. 0935–0162, last
approved on September 26, 2013) was
developed by AHRQ in 2006 in
response to requests from hospitals
interested in knowing how their patient
safety culture survey results compare to
those of other hospitals in their efforts
to improve patient safety.
Rationale for the information
collection. The Hospital SOPS and the
Comparative Database support AHRQ’s
goals of promoting improvements in the
quality and safety of health care in
hospital settings. The survey, toolkit
materials, and comparative database
results are all made publicly available
on AHRQ’s Web site. Technical
assistance is provided by AHRQ through
its contractor at no charge to hospitals,
to facilitate the use of these materials for
hospital patient safety and quality
improvement.
Request for information collection
approval. AHRQ requests that the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB)
reapprove, under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, AHRQ’s
collection of information for the AHRQ
Hospital Survey on Patient Safety
Culture (Hospital SOPS) Comparative
Database; OMB NO. 0935–0162, last
approved on September 26, 2013.
