Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 167 / Wednesday, August 30, 2017 / Notices
Diseases included in this surveillance
program are Influenza Virus,
Caliciviruses, Respiratory and Enteric
Viruses, Foodborne Outbreaks,
Waterborne Outbreaks and
Enteroviruses.
Proposed revisions include form
consolidation, minor revised language
and rewording to improve clarity and
readability of the data collection forms
and the discontinuation of multiple
previously approved influenza
collection instruments, and the National
Respiratory & Enteric Virus Surveillance
System (NREVSS) Laboratory
Assessment (CDC 55.83). CDC also
requests the use of a new form, Suspect
Respiratory Virus Patient Form, to assist
health departments and clinical sites
when they submit specimens to the CDC
lab for viral pathogen identification. The
data will enable rapid detection and
characterization of outbreaks of known
pathogens, as well as potential newly
emerging viral pathogens.
The frequency of response for each
form will depend on the disease and
surveillance need. This represents a
7,116 burden hour reduction since last
approval. This reduction in burden
hours is attributed primarily to the
discontinuation of previously approved
forms and formatting changes to existing
forms. The total time burden estimate
for all collection instruments in this
revision request is 24,805.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. The term ‘‘collection of
information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C.
3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and
includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal agencies
to publish a 30-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension or
reinstatement of an existing collection
of information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is
publishing this notice that summarizes
the following proposed collection(s) of
information for public comment:

Regulations; Use: At the outset of the
critical access hospital (CAH) program,
the information collection requirements
for all CAHs were addressed together
under the following information
collection request: CMS–R–48 (OCN:
0938–0328). As the CAH program has
grown in both scope of services and the
number of providers, the burden
associated with CAHs with distinct part
units (DPUs) was separated from the
CAHs without DPUs. Section
1820(c)(2)(E)(i) of the Social Security
Act provides that a CAH may establish
and operate a psychiatric or
rehabilitation DPU. Each DPU may
maintain up to10 beds and must comply
with the hospital requirements specified
in 42 CFR Subparts A, B, C, and D of
part 482. Presently, 105 CAHs have
rehabilitation or psychiatric DPUs. The
burden associated with CAHs that have
DPUs continues to be reported under
CMS–R–48, along with the burden for
all 4,890 accredited and non-accredited
hospitals.
The CAH conditions of participation
and accompanying information
collection requirements specified in the
regulations are used by surveyors as a
basis for determining whether a CAH
meets the requirements to participate in
the Medicare program. We, along with
the healthcare industry, believe that the
availability to the facility of the type of
records and general content of records,
which this regulation specifies, is
standard medical practice and is
necessary in order to ensure the wellbeing and safety of patients and
professional treatment accountability.

Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Title: National and Tribal Evaluation
of the 2nd Generation of the Health
Profession Opportunity Grants.
OMB No.: 0970–0462.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is proposing data
collection activities as part of the Health
Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG)
to Serve TANF and Other Low Income
Individuals. ACF has developed a multipronged research and evaluation
approach for the HPOG program to
better understand and assess the
activities conducted and their results.
Two rounds of HPOG grants have been
awarded—the first in 2010 (HPOG 1.0)
and the second in 2015 (HPOG 2.0).
There are federal evaluations associated
with each round of grants. HPOG grants
provide funding to government
agencies, community-based
organizations, post-secondary
educational institutions, and tribalaffiliated organizations to provide
education and training services to
Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) recipients and other
low-income individuals, including
tribal members. Under HPOG 2.0, ACF
provided grants to five tribal-affiliated
organizations and 27 non-tribal entities.
OMB previously approved data
collection under OMB Control Number
0970–0462 for: The HPOG 2.0 National
and Tribal Evaluation (Approved
August 2015); and the National
Evaluation impact study, the National
Evaluation descriptive study, and the
Tribal Evaluation (All approved June
2017). The proposed data collection
activities described in this Federal
Register Notice will provide data for the
impact and cost benefit studies of the 27
non-tribal grantees participating in the
National Evaluation of HPOG 2.0.
National Evaluation: The National
Evaluation pertains only to the 27 nontribal grantees that received HPOG 2.0
funding. The design for the National
Evaluation features an implementation
study, a systems change analysis, and
cost benefit analysis. In addition, the
National Evaluation is using an
experimental design to measure and
analyze key participant outcomes
including completion of education and
training, receipt of certificates and/or
degrees, earnings, and employment in a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of

includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.

federal agencies to publish a 30-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each
proposed extension or reinstatement of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, CMS is publishing this notice that
