SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Office for the Advancement of
Telehealth Outcome Measures, OMB
No. 0915–0311—Revision.
Abstract: In order to help carry out its
mission, the Office for the Advancement
of Telehealth (OAT) created a set of
performance measures that grantees can
use to evaluate the effectiveness of their
services programs and monitor their
progress through the use of performance
reporting data.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: As required by the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993, all federal agencies must
develop strategic plans describing their
overall goal and objectives. OAT has
worked with its grantees to develop
performance measures used to evaluate
and monitor the progress of the
grantees. Grantee goals are to improve
access to needed services, reduce rural
practitioner isolation, improve health
system productivity and efficiency, and
improve patient outcomes.
In each of these categories, specific
indicators were designed to be reported
through a performance monitoring
website. New measures are being added
to the Telehealth Network Grant
Program and all measures speak to
OAT’s progress toward meeting the
goals, specifically telehealth services
delivered through rural schools.
Likely Respondents: Telehealth
Network Grantees.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

Jkt 241001
Children’s Public Health System
Assessment Surveys OMB No. 0906–
0014—Revision.
Abstract: The purpose of the public
health system assessment surveys is to
inform the Secretary’s Advisory
Committee on Heritable Disorders in
Newborns and Children (Committee) on
states’ ability to add newborn screening
for particular conditions, including the
feasibility, readiness and overall
capacity to screen for a new condition.
The Committee was established under
Section 1111 of the Public Health
Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300b-10, as
amended in the Newborn Screening
Saves Lives Reauthorization Act of
2014. The Committee is governed by the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C.
App.), which sets forth standards for the
formation and use of advisory
committees. The purpose of the
Committee is to provide the Secretary
with recommendations, advice, and
technical information regarding the
most appropriate application of
technologies, policies, guidelines, and
standards for: (a) Effectively reducing
morbidity and mortality in newborns
and children having, or at risk for,
heritable disorders; and (b) enhancing
the ability of state and local health
agencies to provide for newborn and
child screening, counseling, and health
care services for newborns and children
having, or at risk for, heritable
disorders. Specifically, the Committee
makes systematic evidence-based
recommendations on newborn screening
for conditions that have the potential to
change the health outcomes for
newborns.
The Committee tasks an external
workgroup to conduct systematic
evidence-based reviews for conditions
being considered for addition to the
Recommended Uniform Screening
Panel, and their corresponding newborn
screening test(s), confirmatory test(s),
and treatment(s). Reviews also include
an analysis of the benefits and harms of
newborn screening for a selected
condition at a population level and an
assessment of state public health
newborn screening programs’ ability to
implement the screening of a new
condition.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The surveys are
administered by the Committee’s
Evidence Review Group to collect data
from state newborn screening programs

in the United States. The surveys have
been developed to capture the
following: (1) Readiness of state public
health newborn screening programs to
expand newborn screening to include
the target condition; (2) specific
requirements of screening for a
condition that could hinder or facilitate
implementation in each state; and (3)
estimated timeframes needed for each
state to complete major milestones
toward full implementation of newborn
screening for the condition.
The data gathered informs the
Committee on the following: (1)
Feasibility of implementing populationbased screening for the target condition;
(2) readiness of state newborn screening
programs to adopt screening for the
condition; (3) gaps or limitations related
to the feasibility or readiness of states to
screen for a condition; and (4) areas of
technical assistance and resources
needed to facilitate screening for
conditions with low feasibility or
readiness.
HRSA anticipates the following
revisions will be made to the surveys:
(1) Editing and adding response choices
as needed, to provide more informative
options; (2) revising language
throughout the survey to ensure the
survey can accommodate different types
of conditions that may be nominated; (3)
reorder current questions as needed;
and (4) add new questions as needed.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
to the survey will be state and territorial
newborn screening programs.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
