miners. Collecting this data provides
HRSA with information on how well
each grantee is meeting the needs of
these miners in their communities.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Data from the annual
performance measures report provides
quantitative information about the
clinics, specifically: (a) The
characteristics of the patients they serve
(age, diagnoses, occupation type); (b) the
characteristics of services provided
(clinical services and benefits
counseling); and (c) the number of
patients served. This programmatic
performance measure enables HRSA to
provide data required by Congress
under the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993. It also ensures that
funds are effectively used to provide
services that meet the target population
needs.
The proposed changes to the BLCP
measures are a result of the
accumulation of grantee and stakeholder
feedback and information gathered from
the previously approved BLCP
measures. The proposed changes
include revisions of current measures
for better usability and additional
questions about screening program
participation, smoking, pulmonary
function testing, referral for services,
and COVID–19 vaccination.
Likely Respondents: Respondents will
likely be award recipients of the Black
Lung Clinics Program.
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.

HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
