Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 199 / Tuesday, October 19, 2021 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request for National Hospital
Care Survey (NHCS) includes the
collection of all inpatient and
ambulatory Uniform Bill–04 (UB–04)
claims data, or electronic health record
(EHR) data, as well as the collection of
hospital-level information via a
questionnaire from a sample of 608
hospitals.
The National Ambulatory Medical
Care Survey (NAMCS) was conducted
intermittently from 1973 through 1985,
and annually since 1989. The survey is
conducted under authority of Section
306 of the Public Health Service Act (42
U.S.C. 242k). The National Hospital
Discharge Survey (NHDS) (OMB Control
No. 0920–0212, Exp. 01/31/2019),
conducted continuously between 1965
and 2010, was the Nation’s principal
source of data on inpatient utilization of
short-stay, non-institutional, nonFederal hospitals, and was the principal
source of nationally representative
estimates on the characteristics of
inpatients including lengths of stay,
diagnoses, surgical and non-surgical
procedures, and patterns of use of care
in hospitals in various regions of the
country. In 2011, NHDS was granted
approval by OMB to expand its content
and to change its name to the National
Hospital Care Survey (NHCS).
In May 2011, recruitment of sampled
hospitals for the NHCS began. Hospitals
in the NHCS are asked to provide data
on all inpatients from their UB–04
administrative claims, or EHRs.
Hospital-level characteristics and data
on the impact of COVID–19 on the
hospital are collected through an
Annual Hospital Interview. NHCS will
continue to provide the same national
health-care statistics on hospitals that
NHDS provided. Additionally, NHCS
collects more information at the hospital
level (e.g., volume of care provided by
the hospital), which allow for analyses
on the effect of hospital characteristics
on the quality of care provided. NHCS
data collected from UB–04
administrative claims and EHRs include
all inpatient discharges, not just a
sample. The confidential collection of
personally identifiable information
allows NCHS to link episodes of care
provided to the same patient in the
Emergency Department (ED) and/or
Outpatient Department (OPD), and as an
inpatient, as well as link patients to the
National Death Index (NDI) to measure
post-discharge mortality, and Medicare
and Medicaid data to leverage
comorbidities. The availability of
patient identifiers also makes analysis
on hospital readmissions possible. This
comprehensive collection of data makes
future opportunities for surveillance
possible, including analyzing trends and
incidence of opioid misuse, acute
myocardial infarction, heart failure and
stroke, as well as trends and point
prevalence of health care acquired
infections and antimicrobial use.
Beginning in 2013, in addition to
inpatient hospital data, hospitals
participating in NHCS were asked to
provide data on the utilization of health
care services in their ambulatory
settings (e.g., EDs and OPDs). Due to
low response rates and high level of
missing data, OPD data were not
collected in the last approval period
(2019, 2020 and 2021). Collection of
OPD may resume in future years.
Data collected through NHCS are
essential for evaluating the health status
of the population, for the planning of
programs and policy to improve health
care delivery systems of the Nation, for
studying morbidity trends, and for
research activities in the health field.
There are no changes to the data
collection survey. The only change is to
the burden hours due to the increase of
the sample size. The new total
annualized burden is 7,184 hours. CDC
requests a three-year approval, and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time.

Health and Human Services (HHS), is
requesting an extension with minor
changes to the approved information
collection: The Cost Study of TraumaSpecific Evidence-Based Programs used
in the Regional Partnership Grants
(RPG) Program. This data collection
request was previously approved and
scheduled for spring 2021 but was
delayed due to the COVID–19
pandemic. Data collection is now
feasible but will extend beyond the
current expiration date of November 30,

to include a question in the time log to
ask about virtual service delivery since
the COVID–19 pandemic resulted in
grantees offering virtual services.

about the collection of information
between 30 and 60 days after
publication of this document in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: Since 2006, CB has
awarded multiple rounds of competitive
grants to state and local agencies and
service providers under the RPG
Program. Grants are awarded to
organizations such as child welfare
agencies, substance abuse treatment
providers, or family court systems to
develop interagency collaborations and
provide services designed to increase
well-being, improve permanency, and
enhance the safety of children who are
in or are at risk of being placed in outof-home care as a result of a parent’s or
caretaker’s substance abuse. Thirty-five
grantees are participating in the ongoing
RPG national cross-site evaluation,
which examines implementation,
partnerships, outcomes, and impacts.
All grantees collect data on a uniform
set of performance measures and report
them to CB on a semi-annual basis
through a web-based system. These
ongoing data collection activities are
approved under OMB #0970–0527. All
grantees are also required to use a
portion of their funding to conduct their
own ‘‘local’’ program impact evaluation.
This proposed cost study adds a new
and unique contribution to CB’s
portfolio of evaluation activities.

Although the RPG cross-site evaluation
will provide evidence for the
effectiveness of some interventions to
address the emotional effects of trauma,
more information is needed about the
cost of implementing these EvidenceBased Programs (EBPs).
The cost study has the key objective
to determine the cost of implementing
the following three select TraumaSpecific EBPs: Parent-Child Interaction
Therapy, Seeking Safety, and TraumaFocused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
To carry out this objective, the study
team will collect detailed cost
information from nine RPG round four
and five grantees who are implementing
these selected EBPs. For each grantee,
the study team will administer the
following two data collection
instruments: (1) A Cost Workbook used
to collect comprehensive information on
the cost of implementing each select
program (Instrument #1), and (2) a Staff
Survey and Time Log used to collect
information on how program staff
allocate their time (Instrument #2).
