the condition that could hinder or
facilitate its implementation in each
state; and (3) estimated timeframes
needed for each state to complete major
milestones toward full newborn
screening of the condition.
HRSA published the 60-day notice on
June 5, 2018 (FR Doc. 2018–12019).
There were no comments received
during the 60-day comment period. The
survey tools have been revised to
streamline responses to decrease the
burden on the respondents, provide
clarity with regard to what is being
asked, ensure the survey can
accommodate different types of
conditions that may be nominated in the
future, and offer additional response
options. To accomplish this, questions
were deleted, consolidated, reordered,
and new questions were added to
address gaps in information identified
by those who have completed the
survey and utilized the survey results.
The data gathered will inform 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) identify gaps in feasibility
or readiness to screen for the condition;
and (4) identify areas of technical
assistance and resources needed to
facilitate screening for conditions with
low feasibility or readiness.
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.
