Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission to OMB for Review and Approval; Public Comment Request; Rural Health Clinic COVID-19 Reporting Portal, OMB No. 0906-0056-Revision, 15440-15441 [2022-05719]

Download as PDF 15440 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2022 / Notices incorporate COVID–19 vaccine questions currently under emergency approval. From time to time, there may be refinements in the information collection to keep pace with changes in the field or to enhance the ability to collect information in an automated fashion from respondent source systems, such as electronic health records. Likely Respondents: Transplant Centers. 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. The estimated total annual burden hours for this submission are 56,768 compared to 62,583 estimated in the 30-day Federal Register notice posted on August 22, 2019.

The SCTOD contractor is working with respondents to reduce burden by submitting data using interoperability standards. These data collections may include OMB-approved forms. 2 The Number of Responses the total number of transplant centers that submit data to the SCTOD is equal to 177. 3 The Number of Responses per Respondent was calculated by dividing the Total Responses by the Number of Respondents and rounding to the nearest tenth. 4 The Total Responses is less than previous calculations because of improvements in estimation. Previous estimates assumed all years had the same number of transplants. This improved estimate includes accurate transplant counts from prior years, which are often less than the current year leading to less follow-up activity. 5 Pre-Transplant Data includes baseline recipient data including patient demographics, pertinent medical history, disease characteristics and status, and co-morbidities, transplant data procedure characteristics, including preparative regimen, and donor data. 6 Total Responses for Pre-Transplant Information Collection equals number of new transplant patients in 2020. 7 This number is rounded to nearest tenth. The actual burden estimate for these data is 1.11666666. 8 Transplant Procedure and Product Information includes Graft-vs-Host Disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, graft source, donor type and degree of human leukocyte antigen matching and graft manipulation; graft characteristic data for cord blood units, including infused cell dose; and product information. 9 Total Responses for Transplant Procedure and Product Information equals number of new transplant patients in 2020. 10 Post-Transplant Data Collection includes hematopoietic recovery and engraftment, serious complications including GVHD and second cancers, disease status, survival status, and cause of death; and subsequent procedures. 11 Total Responses for Post-Transplant Periodic Information Collection is based on a predetermined schedule: 100 days after transplant, 6 months after transplant, 1 year after transplant, annually for 6 years after transplant and then biennially thereafter. In any given year the number of responses is a function of the number of transplants in that year, the number of transplants in previous years, and expected patient survival between the time of transplant and any follow-up activity. 12 This number is rounded to nearest tenth. The actual burden estimate is 0.74. jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 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.

L. 117– 2). Funded organizations were identified by Tax Identification Number (TIN), and a TIN organization may operate one or more RHC sites which were identified by unique CMS Certification Numbers. Respondents are TIN organizations who received funding for COVID–19 testing, COVID–19 mitigation, and related expenses. HRSA issued RHCCTM funding as one-time FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: payments to 2,301 TIN organizations based on the number of certified RHC sites they operate, providing $100,000 per clinic site (4,459 RHC sites total across the country).

A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register, 87 FR 103 (January 3, 2022). There were no public comments. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The RHC COVID–19 Reporting Portal collects information from RHC-funded providers who use RHCCT Program funding and RHCCTM Program funding to support COVID–19 testing, expand access to testing in rural communities, and other related expenses.
