Information Collection Request Title:
Black Lung Clinics Program
Performance Measures OMB No. 0915–
0292 Revision.
Abstract: HRSA’s Federal Office of
Rural Health Policy conducts an annual
data collection of user information for
the Black Lung Clinics Program (BLCP),
which has been ongoing with OMB
approval since 2004. The BLCP is
authorized by Sec. 427(a) of the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as
amended (30 U.S.C. 937), and
accompanying regulations at 42 CFR
part 55a, to reduce the morbidity and
mortality associated with
occupationally-related coal mine dust
lung disease through the screening,
diagnosis, and treatment of active,
inactive, retired, and/or disabled coal
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 assessment 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 of 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.
A 60-day Federal Register Notice was
published in the Federal Register on
May 13, 2021, vol. 86, No. 91, pp.
26225–26226. There were no public
comments.
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
