Background and Summary: The
Deepwater Horizon oil spill led to 2012
passage of the RESTORE Act, which
directs 80 percent of associated civil
and administrative Clean Water Act
penalties to ecosystem restoration,
economic recovery, and tourism
promotion in the Gulf Coast region. To
administer a portion of these funds, the
RESTORE Act established the Council,
comprised of principals from the five
Gulf Coast States and six federal
agencies. One of the Council’s primary
responsibilities is to develop and update
a Comprehensive Plan to restore the
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
ecosystem and the economy of the Gulf
Coast region.
The Council approved an Initial
Comprehensive Plan in August 2013.
Since that time, there have been
important developments that warrant a
Plan update; the resolution of civil
claims against BP has provided clarity
regarding the amount and timing of
funds available to the Council.
Additionally, the Council is now also in
a position to develop a Ten-Year
Funding Strategy, as required by the
RESTORE Act. The Council has also
gained valuable knowledge during the
process of developing and approving
(on December 9, 2015) the first set of
foundational restoration activities in its
Initial Funded Priorities List (FPL).
The process of developing the FPL
was a tremendous success for the
Council. The Council benefited greatly
from public input during this process.
To learn as much as it could from this
first round of funding decisions, the
Council also conducted a retrospective
review of the FPL process and
published a Lessons Learned and Path
Forward Summary Report, which
helped identify and reinforce important
lessons applicable to future Council
activities.
This draft Plan update does not
identify specific restoration activities;
that is the purpose of future FPLs and
State Expenditure Plans (SEPs),
described in more detail in the draft
Plan update. Rather, the Plan update is
intended to improve Council decisions
by:
• Ensuring consistency with the
Priority Criteria referenced in the Act;
• Reinforcing the Council’s goals,
objectives and commitments;
• Setting forth a Ten-Year Funding
Strategy, including a Council vision for
ecosystem restoration;
• Increasing collaboration among
Council members and partner
restoration programs;
• Refining the process for ensuring
that the Council’s decisions are
informed by the best available science;
and
• Improving the efficiency,
effectiveness and transparency of
Council actions.
Public input on the Council’s
previous activities has helped shape this
draft Plan update. The Council is
committed to continuously improving
and adapting in response to new
information and feedback, and looks
forward to hearing the views of all
stakeholders on this draft Plan update.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Project
Eisenberg Center Voluntary Customer
Survey Generic Clearance
The Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality (AHRQ) requests that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) renew under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 AHRQ’s Generic
Clearance to collect information from
users of work products and services
initiated by the John M. Eisenberg
Center for Clinical Decisions and
Communications Science (Eisenberg
Center). Since September 2008, the
Eisenberg Center has been operated by
Baylor College of Medicine (BCM),
located in Houston, Texas.
AHRQ is the lead agency charged
with supporting research designed to
improve the quality of health care,
reduce its cost, improve patient safety,
decrease medical errors, and broaden
access to essential services (see 42
U.S.C. 299). The Eisenberg Center,
funded by AHRQ, is an innovative effort
aimed at improving communication of
findings to a variety of audiences
(‘‘customers’’), including consumers,
clinicians, and health care
policymakers. The Eisenberg Center
compiles research results into a variety
of useful formats for customer
stakeholders.
This research has the following goals:
(1) Conduct research into effective
communication of research findings in
order to improve the usability and rapid
incorporation of findings into medical
practice and decision making.
(2) Conduct research into effective
strategies for disseminating evidencebased products, tools, and resources to
consumers, clinicians, and other health
care professionals, and policymakers.
(3) Evaluate outcomes reported by
clinicians and other health care
professionals resulting from
participation in continuing medical
education (CME) initiatives and
activities.
(4) Conduct research into factors
associated with successful collaboration
between AHRQ and partnering
institutions and organizations in
synthesizing, translating, and
disseminating evidence-based research.
Clearance is being requested to cover
a three-year period in which differing
numbers of information collections
concerning products and research
activities may be conducted within each
contract year. The collections proposed
include activities to assist in the
development of materials to be
disseminated through the Eisenberg
Center and to provide feedback to
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
57583
AHRQ on the extent to which these
products meet customer needs. These
materials include documents that
summarize and translate the findings of
research reports for various decisionmaking audiences, such as consumers,
clinicians, or policymakers. The
summaries are designed to help these
decision makers use research evidence
to maximize the benefits of health care,
minimize harm, and optimize the use of
health care resources. In addition, each
year of the contract a unique research
project will be undertaken to study
successful approaches to disseminating
AHRQ products in various health care
settings and clinical environments. Also
each year the Eisenberg Center will
develop one interactive decision aid for
clinical problems identified from
selected research reports. The intent is
for the decision aid to increase the
customer’s knowledge of the health
condition, options, and risk/benefits;
lead to greater assurance in making a
decision; increase the congruence
between values and choices; and
enhance involvement in the decision
making process. Information collections
conducted under this generic clearance
are not required by regulation and will
not be used to regulate or sanction
customers. Data collections will be
entirely voluntary, and information
provided by respondents will be
combined and summarized so that no
individually identifiable information
will be released.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractor, Baylor
College of Medicine, pursuant to
AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct
and support research on health care and
on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
quality, effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of health care
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
The data collections listed below will
be implemented to achieve project
goals. Note: Assessments such as
interviews and surveys are here denoted
formative if conducted prior to product
development or determination of
dissemination channels; usability
testing or pretesting if conducted while
reviewing a draft product, proposed
dissemination approach, or other
proposed content/strategy; and
evaluation if conducted for summative
evaluation or to assess satisfaction after
the product has been in use or the
dissemination campaign, learning
activity, or other initiative undertaken.
