communication campaigns and (2) to
assess the potential effectiveness of
messages and materials in reaching and
successfully communicating with their
intended audiences. We will use these
methods to test and refine our ideas and
to help develop messages and other
communications but will generally
conduct further research before making
important decisions, such as adopting
new policies and allocating or
redirecting significant resources to
support these policies. We will use this
mechanism to test messages about
regulated drug products on a variety of
subjects related to consumer, patient, or
healthcare professional perceptions and
about use of drug products and related
materials, including but not limited to,
direct-to-consumer prescription drug
promotion, physician labeling of
prescription drugs, medication guides,
over-the-counter drug labeling,
emerging risk communications, patient
labeling, online sale of medical
products, and consumer and
professional education.
Annually, we project about 45
communication studies using the
variety of test methods listed in this
document. We are requesting an
extension of these burden hours so as
not to restrict our ability to gather
information on public sentiment for
FDA’s proposals in its regulatory and
communications programs.
In the Federal Register of June 17,
2020 (85 FR 36591), we published a 60day notice requesting public comment
on the proposed collection of
information. No comments were
received.
FDA estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

approval for a revision to the

in registering with, reporting
information to, and requesting

Administrative forms are also included
to aid in monitoring compliance with
federal reporting and querying
requirements. Responsibility for NPDB
implementation and operation resides
in HRSA’s Bureau of Health Workforce.
The intent of the NPDB is to improve
the quality of health care by
encouraging entities such as hospitals,
State licensing boards, professional
societies, and other eligible entities 1
providing health care services to
identify and discipline those who
engage in unprofessional behavior, and
to restrict the ability of incompetent
health care practitioners, providers, or
suppliers to move from state to state
without disclosure or discovery of
previous damaging or incompetent
performance. It also serves as a fraud
and abuse clearinghouse for the
reporting and disclosing of certain final
adverse actions (excluding settlements
in which no findings of liability have
been made) taken against health care
practitioners, providers, or suppliers by
health plans, federal agencies, and state
agencies. Users of the NPDB include
reporters (entities that are required to

NPDB are defined in the provisions of Title IV,
Section 1921, Section 1128E, and implementing

participate with the NPDB through federal
memorandums of understanding. Eligible entities
are responsible for complying with all reporting
and/or querying requirements that apply; some
entities may qualify as more than one type of
eligible entity. Each eligible entity must certify its
eligibility in order to report to the NPDB, query the
NPDB, or both. Information from the NPDB is
available only to those entities specified as eligible
in the statutes and regulations. Not all entities have
the same reporting requirements or level of query
access.

and individuals that are authorized to
request for information).
The reporting forms, request for
information forms (query forms), and
administrative forms (used to monitor
compliance) are accessed, completed,
and submitted to the NPDB
electronically through the NPDB
website at https://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/.
All reporting and querying is performed
through the secure portal of this
website.
This revision proposes changes to
improve overall data integrity. In
addition, this revision contains the five
NPDB forms that were originally
approved in: ‘‘NPDB Attestation of
Reports by Hospitals, Medical
Malpractice Payers, Health Plans, and
Certain Other Health Care Entities, OMB
No. 0906–0028’’ which will be
discontinued upon approval of this ICR.
A 60-day notice published in the
Federal Register on October 16, 2020,
vol. 85, No. 201; pp. 65834–65837.
There were two public comments that
addressed ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected by the NPDB.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NPDB acts primarily
as a flagging system; its principal
purpose is to facilitate comprehensive
review of practitioners’ professional
credentials and background.
Information is collected from, and
disseminated to, eligible entities
(entities that are entitled to query and/
or report to the NPDB as authorized in
Title 45 CFR part 60 of the Code of
Federal Regulations) on the following:
(1) Medical malpractice payments, (2)
licensure actions taken by Boards of
Medical Examiners, (3) State licensure
and certification actions, (4) Federal
licensure and certification actions, (5)
negative actions or findings taken by
peer review organizations or private
accreditation entities, (6) adverse
actions taken against clinical privileges,
(7) federal or state criminal convictions
related to the delivery of a health care
item or service, (8) civil judgments
related to the delivery of a health care
item or service, (9) exclusions from
participation in Federal or State health
care programs, and (10) other
adjudicated actions or decisions. It is
intended that NPDB information should
be considered with other relevant
information in evaluating credentials of
health care practitioners, providers, and
suppliers.
Likely Respondents: Eligible entities
or individuals that are entitled to query
and/or report to the NPDB as authorized
in regulations found at 45 CFR part 60.
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

Information Collection Request Title: National Practitioner Data
Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care
Practitioners--45 CFR Part 60 Regulations and Forms, OMB No. 0915-
0126--Revision.
Abstract: This is a request for OMB's approval for a revision to
the information collection contained in regulations found at 45 CFR
part 60 governing the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the
forms to be used in registering with, reporting information to, and
requesting information from the NPDB. Administrative forms are also
included to aid in monitoring compliance with federal reporting and

operation resides in HRSA's Bureau of Health Workforce.
The intent of the NPDB is to improve the quality of health care by
encouraging entities such as hospitals, State licensing boards,
professional societies, and other eligible entities \1\ providing
health care services to identify and discipline those who engage in
unprofessional behavior, and to restrict the ability of incompetent

to state without disclosure or discovery of previous damaging or
incompetent performance. It also serves as a fraud and abuse
clearinghouse for the reporting and disclosing of certain final adverse

been made) taken against health care practitioners, providers, or
suppliers by health plans, federal agencies, and state agencies. Users
of the NPDB include reporters (entities that are required to

submit reports) and queriers (entities and individuals that are
authorized to request for information).

In addition, this revision contains the five NPDB forms that were
