This notice announces the
intention of the Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) to request
that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) re-approve the proposed
information collection project ‘‘Online
Submission Form for Supplemental
Evidence and Data for Systematic
Reviews for the Evidence-based Practice
Center Program.’’
This proposed information collection
was previously published in the Federal
Register on July 19, 2022 and allowed
60 days for public comment. AHRQ did
not receive substantive comments
during public review period. The
purpose of this notice is to allow an
additional 30 days for public comment.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be
received by November 21, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Proposed Project
‘‘Online Submission Form for
Supplemental Evidence and Data for
Systematic Reviews for the EvidenceBased Practice Center Program.’’
This is an ongoing activity of AHRQ’s
Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC)
Program.
AHRQ’s EPC Program develops
evidence reports and technology
assessments on topics relevant to
clinical and other health care
organization and delivery issues—
specifically those that are common,
expensive, and/or significant for the
Medicare and Medicaid populations.
For example, recent reviews have
focused on clinical conditions, such as
‘‘Radiation Therapy for Brain
Metastases’’; health delivery topics,
such as ‘‘Transitions of Care From
Pediatric to Adult Services for Children
With Special Healthcare Needs’’; and
specific technologies, such as
‘‘Telehealth for Women’s Preventive
Services.’’ These evidence reports
include systematic reviews, technical
briefs, and rapid reviews; and provide
an essential foundation from which to
understand what we know from existing
research and what critical research gaps
remain. These reports, reviews, and
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
technology assessments are based on
rigorous, comprehensive syntheses and
analyses of the scientific literature on
topics. EPC reports and assessments
emphasize explicit and detailed
documentation of methods, rationale,
and assumptions. EPC reports are
conducted in accordance with an
established policy on financial and
nonfinancial interests. These scientific
syntheses may include meta-analyses
and cost analyses.
The EPC Program supports AHRQ’s
mission by synthesizing and
disseminating the available research as
a ‘‘science partner’’ with private and
public organizations in their efforts to
improve the quality, effectiveness, and
appropriateness of health care. The EPC
Program is a trusted source of rigorous,
comprehensive, and unbiased evidence
reviews for stakeholders. The resulting
evidence reports and technology
assessments are used by Federal and
State agencies, private-sector
professional societies, health delivery
systems, providers, payers, and others
committed to evidence-based health
care. These end-users may use EPC
Program evidence reports to inform
policy decisions, clinical practice
guidelines, and other healthcare
decisions.
This research has the following goals:
Æ Use research methods to gather
knowledge on the effectiveness and
harms of certain treatments and
healthcare delivery processes and
models for medical conditions, both
published and unpublished, to evaluate
the quality of research studies and the
evidence from these studies.
Æ Promote the use of evidence in
healthcare decision making to improve
healthcare and health.
Æ Identify research gaps to inform
future research investments.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ pursuant to its statutory
authority to conduct and support
research on healthcare and on systems
for the delivery of such care, including
activities with respect to the quality,
effectiveness, efficiency,
appropriateness and value of healthcare
services and with respect to quality
measurement and improvement. 42
U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).
Method of Collection
To achieve the goals of this project the
following data collection will be
implemented:
• Online Submission Form. This
information is collected for the purposes
of providing supplemental evidence and
data for systematic reviews (SEADS).
The online submission form (OSF)
collects data from respondents on their
E:\FR\FM\20OCN1.SGM
20OCN1
63779
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 202 / Thursday, October 20, 2022 / Notices
name, organization name, description of
the submission, medical condition,
intervention, and email address. For the
purposes of meta-analyses, trial
summary data from missing and
unidentified studies are sought. For the
purposes of constructing evidence tables
and quality ratings (e.g., on public
reporting of cost measures or health
information exchange), data can vary
(e.g., URLs, study designs, and
consumer-mediated exchange forms).
Information on both completed and
ongoing studies is requested. Submitters
may alternatively email their
submission to the AHRQ EPC mailbox at
epc@ahrq.hhs.gov.
The EPC Program currently uses a
broad-based announcement via email
listserv and a Federal Register notice, as
needed, to publicize the opportunity to
submit scientific information about each
topic. AHRQ plans to conduct one
SEADS collection per topic. Up to
twenty-four topics per year with SEADS
portals are anticipated; over the past 5
years the number of SEADS portals has
ranged from 11–20, with an average
range of 0–5 potential respondents per
topic. The EPC Program does not
anticipate more than 40 topics per year
with SEADS portals.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 presents estimates of the
reporting burden hours for the data
collection efforts. Time estimates are
based on pilot testing of materials and
what can reasonably be requested of
respondents. The number of
respondents listed in ‘‘Number of
respondents’’ of Exhibit 1 reflects a
projected upper range response rate per
SEADS portal multiplied by the
anticipated upper limit of number of
SEADS portals per year, based on
historical information over the past 3
years.
