sites are not updated frequently.
Therefore, the survey will enable the
collection of the most accurate
information possible.
The respondents include 424 LTSS
programs run by AI/AN tribes. Once the
survey has been conducted, CMS will
feature the survey data, specifically a
list of AI/AN managed LTSS programs,
online on CMS.gov. The dissemination
of survey data on CMS.gov will allow
tribal communities and the general
public to access this important data.
Documentation of these programs will
support sharing of LTSS best practices
and innovative models employed in
Indian Country. CMS will use the
survey data to generate further content
on LTSS in Indian Country, including
literature reviews and reports on best
practices.

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 128 / Thursday, July 6, 2017 / Notices
Collection of Qualitative Research and
Assessment.
OMB No.: 0990–0421.
Abstract: The Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE) is requesting an extension for
their generic clearance for purposes of
conducting qualitative research. ASPE
conducts qualitative research to gain a
better understanding of emerging health
and human services policy issues,
develop future intramural and
extramural research projects, and to
ensure HHS leadership, agencies and
offices have recent data and information
to inform program and policy decisionmaking. ASPE is requesting approval for
at least four types of qualitative research
which include, but are not limited to: (a)
Interviews, (b) focus groups, (c)
questionnaires, and (d) other qualitative
methods.
ASPE’s mission is to advise the
Secretary of the Department of Health
and Human Services on policy
development in health, disability,
human services, data, and science, and
provides advice and analysis on
economic policy. ASPE leads special
initiatives, coordinates the Department’s
evaluation, research and demonstration
activities, and manages crossDepartment planning activities such as
strategic planning, legislative planning,
and review of regulations. Integral to
this role, ASPE will use this mechanism
to conduct qualitative research,
evaluation, or assessment, conduct
analyses, and understand needs,
barriers, or facilitators for HHS-related
programs.
ASPE is requesting comment on the
burden for qualitative research aimed at
understanding emerging health and
human services policy issues. The goal
of developing these activities is to
identify emerging issues and research
gaps to ensure the successful
implementation of HHS programs. The
participants may include health and
human services experts; national, state,
and local health or human services
representatives; public health, human
services, or healthcare providers; and
representatives of other health or human
services organizations. The increase in
burden from 747 in 2014 to 1,500
respondents in 2017 reflects an increase
in the number of research projects
conducted over the estimate in 2014.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The information collected
for qualitative policy research and
assessment will be used by ASPE to
develop future intramural and
extramural research projects and to
shape emerging health and human
services policy issues for HHS
leadership, agencies, and offices. The
end purpose is to obtain broad and
diverse perspectives on public health,
human service, and health care issues to
understand emerging issues, promising
practices by innovative programs or
organizations funded by HHS, or
examining health or human service
policy issues that have as yet gone
unanswered or need further
examination. Additionally, ASPE will
collect, analyze, and interpret
information gathered through this
generic clearance to identify strengths
and weaknesses of current programs,
policies, and services.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
have typically been stakeholders from
the health and human services fields
such as state health officers, human
service professionals, groups that
represent health or human services
interests or populations, individual
experts in the fields of health, human
services, science, data, or other relevant
professions, and other individuals and
groups relevant to the work conducted
by ASPE and HHS.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.
