Individuals selected for appointment
to the Committee will be invited to
serve for 3 years. Members of the
ACTPCMD appointed as SGEs receive
compensation for performance of their
duties on the Committee and
reimbursement for per diem and travel
expenses incurred for attending
ACTPCMD meetings.
The following information must be
included in the package of materials
submitted in order for an individual’s
nomination to be considered: (1) A letter
of nomination from an employer,
colleague, or a professional
organization; (2) a current copy of the
nominee’s curriculum vitae; (3) a
statement of interest from the nominee;
and (4) a one-paragraph biographical
sketch of the nominee. Nomination
packages may be submitted directly by
the individual being nominated or by
the person/organization nominating
them.
HHS endeavors to ensure that the
membership of the ACTPCMD is fair
and balanced in terms of points of view
represented as well as between the
health professions and a broad
representation of geographic areas,
including balance among urban and
rural members, gender, and minorities,
including racial and ethnic minority
groups, as well as individuals with
disabilities. At least 75 percent of the
members of the Committee are health
professionals. Appointments shall be
made without discrimination of age,
race, color, national origin, sex,
disability, or religion. Members are
appointed based on their competence,
interest, and knowledge of the mission
of the profession involved.
Individuals who are selected to be
considered for appointment will be
required to provide detailed information
regarding their financial holdings,
consultancies, and research grants or
contracts. Disclosure of this information
is required in order for HRSA ethics
officials to determine whether there is a
potential conflict of interest between the
SGE’s public duties as a member of
ACTPCMD and their private interests,
including an appearance of a loss of
impartiality as defined by federal laws
and regulations, and to identify any
required remedial action needed to
address the potential conflict.

Application Reviewer Recruitment
Form OMB No. 0915–0295—Extension.

administering the review of eligible
applications submitted for grants under
HRSA competitive announcements.
HRSA ensures that the objective review
process is independent, efficient,
effective, economical, and complies

13833
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 43 / Monday, March 6, 2023 / Notices
This announcement is a request for
continuation of a web-based data
collection system, the Reviewer
Recruitment Module (RRM), used to
gather critical reviewer information. The
RRM uses standardized categories of
information in drop down menu format
for data such as the following: degree,
specialty, occupation, work setting, and
in select instances affiliations with
organizations and institutions that serve
special populations. Some program
regulations require that objective review
panels contain consumers of health
services. Other demographic data may
be voluntarily provided by a potential
reviewer. Defined data elements assist
HRSA in finding and selecting expert
reviewers for objective review
committees.
HRSA maintains a roster of
approximately 9,000 qualified
individuals who have actively served on
HRSA objective review committees. The
web based RRM simplifies reviewer
registration entry using a user-friendly
Graphical User Interface with a few data
drop down menu choices, a search
engine that supports key word queries
in the actual resume or Curriculum
Vitae text and permits reviewers to
access and update their information at
will and as needed. The RRM is 508
compliant and accessible by the general
public via a link on the HRSA ‘‘Grants’’
internet site, or by keying the RRM URL
into their browser. The RRM is
accessible using any of the commonly
used internet browsers.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA currently utilizes
RRM to collect information from
individuals who wish to volunteer as
objective review committee participants
for the Agency’s discretionary and
competitive grant or cooperative
agreement funding opportunities. RRM
provides HRSA with an effective search
and communication functionality with
which to identify and contact qualified
potential reviewers. The RRM has an
enhanced search and reporting
capability to help ensure that the HRSA
reviewer pool has the necessary skills,
education, and diversity to meet the
ever-evolving need for qualified
reviewers. If HRSA identifies either an
expertise or demographic that is underrepresented in the RRM pool, HRSA is
able to recruit specifically to address
those needs. Expertise is always the
primary determinant in selecting
potential reviewers for any specific
grant review; no reviewer is required to
provide demographic information to
join the reviewer pool or be selected as
a reviewer for any competition.
Likely Respondents: All HRSA
reviewers must possess the technical
skill and ability to access the internet on
a secure desktop laptop, or touch pad,
and either a land line or Voice Over
internet Protocol capability to
participate in HRSA objective review
committees. Reviewers are professionals
with expertise and experience
consistent with the HRSA mission and
competitive program needs to address
the availability and delivery of quality
health care to all Americans. Certain
legislation requires HRSA programs to
include consumers of specific health
care services in the objective review
committee.
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.
