National Committee on Vital and Health
Statistics: Meeting; Privacy, Security &
Confidentiality Subcommittee
Pursuant to the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
announces the following advisory
committee meeting.
Name: National Committee on Vital
and Health Statistics (NCVHS),
Subcommittee on Privacy,
Confidentiality & Security.
Time and Date: May 24, 2016, 9:00
a.m.–5:30 p.m. EST; May 25, 2016, 9:00
a.m.–5:15 p.m. EST.
Place: U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services, Hubert H. Humphrey
Building, 200 Independence Avenue,
Room 705A, Washington, DC 20201,
(202) 690–7100.
Status: Open.
Purpose: HIPAA sets forth
methodologies for de-identifying
protected health information (PHI).
Once PHI is de-identified, it is no longer
subject to the HIPAA rules and can be
used for any purpose. The U.S.
Department of Health and Human (HHS)
Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR)
issued guidance in 2012, specifying two
ways through which a covered entity
can determine that health information is
de-identified: (1) The Expert
Determination Method and (2) the Safe
Harbor Method. Much has changed in
the health care landscape since that

time, including greater availability and
use of ‘‘big data.’’ Concerns have been
raised about the sufficiency of the
HIPAA de-identification methodologies,
the lack of oversight for unauthorized
re-identification of de-identified data,
and the absence of public transparency
about the uses of de-identified data. The
purpose of this hearing is to gather
industry input on existing guidance and
possible limitations of the deidentification methodologies for making
recommendations to the Secretary of
HHS.
The objectives of this meeting are as
follows:
• Increase awareness of current and
anticipated practices involving
protected health information, such as
the sale of information to data brokers
and other data-mining companies for
marketing and/or risk mitigation
activities;
• Understand HIPAA’s deidentification requirements in light of
these practices, and
• Identify areas where outreach,
education, technical assistance, a policy
change, or guidance may be useful.

Information Collection Request Title:
Positive Adolescent Futures (PAF)
Study
Abstract: The Office of Adolescent
Health (OAH), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting approval by OMB on a
revised data collection. The Positive
Adolescent Futures (PAF) Study will
provide information about program
design, implementation, and impacts
through a rigorous assessment of
program impacts and implementation of
two programs designed to support
expectant and parenting teens. These
programs are located in Houston, Texas
and throughout the state of California.
This revised information collection
request includes the 24-month follow-
be of interest to the general public, to
policymakers, and to organizations
interested in supporting expectant and
parenting teens.
Likely Respondents: The 24-month
follow-up survey data will be collected
through a web-based survey or through
telephone interviews with study
participants; i.e. adolescents randomly
assigned to a program for expectant and
parenting teens being tested for program
effectiveness, or to a control group. The
mode of survey administration will
primarily be based on the preference of
the study participants. The survey will
be completed by 1,515 respondents
across the two study sites. Clearance is
requested for three years.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.
up survey instrument related to the
impact study. The data collected from
this instrument in the two study sites
will provide a detailed understanding of
program impacts about two years after
youth are enrolled in the study and first
have access to the programming offered
by each site.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The data will serve two
main purposes. First, the data will be
used to determine program effectiveness
by comparing outcomes on repeat
pregnancies, sexual risk behaviors,
health and well-being, and parenting
behaviors between treatment (program)
and control youth. Second, the data will
be used to understand whether the
programs are more effective for some
youth than others. The findings from
these analyses of program impacts will

Statutory Authority
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is
accepting competitive cooperative
agreement applications for Tribal
Epidemiology Centers serving American
Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes
and urban Indian communities. This
program is managed by the IHS Division
of Epidemiology and Disease Prevention
(DEDP). This program is authorized by
the Indian Health Care Improvement
Act (IHCIA), as amended, 25 U.S.C.
1621m, the Snyder Act, 25 U.S.C. 13,
and described in the Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance (CFDA) under
93.231.
Background
The Tribal Epidemiology Center (TEC)
program was authorized by Congress in
1998 as a way to provide public health
support to multiple Tribes and urban
Indian communities in each of the IHS

Areas. The funding opportunity
announcement is open to eligible
Tribes, Tribal organizations, Indian
organizations, intertribal consortia, and
urban Indian organizations, including
currently funded TECs.
TECs are uniquely positioned within
Tribes, Tribal and urban Indian
organizations to conduct disease
surveillance, research, prevention and
control of disease, injury, or disability,
and to assess the effectiveness of AI/AN
public health programs. In addition,
they can fill gaps in data needed for
Government Performance and Results
Act and Healthy People 2020 measures.
Some of the existing TECs have already
developed innovative strategies to
monitor the health status of Tribes and
urban Indian communities, including
development of Tribal health registries
and use of sophisticated record linkage
computer software to correct existing
state data sets for racial
misclassification. TECs work in
partnership with IHS DEDP to provide
a more accurate national picture of
Indian health status.
TECs provide critical support for
activities that promote Tribal selfgovernance and effective management of
Tribal and urban Indian health
programs. Data generated locally and
analyzed by TECs enable Tribes and
urban Indian communities to effectively
