CDER seeks to enhance review efficiency and review quality by providing the staff with a better understanding of the pharmaceutical industry and its operations. To this end, CDER is continuing its training program to give regulatory project managers the opportunity to tour pharmaceutical facilities. The goals are to provide the following: (1) firsthand exposure to industry’s drug development processes and (2) a venue for sharing information about project management procedures (but not drug-specific information) with industry representatives. Firms that want to learn more about this training opportunity or that are interested in offering a site tour should respond by sending a proposed agenda by email directly to Dan Brum (see DATES and FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). II. The Site Tours Program Health Resources and Services Administration In this program, which generally lasts a few days, small groups of CDER regulatory project managers, often including a senior level regulatory project manager, can observe operations of pharmaceutical manufacturing and/or packaging facilities, pathology/ toxicology laboratories, and regulatory affairs operations. Neither this tour nor any part of the program is intended as a mechanism to inspect, assess, judge, or perform a regulatory function, but is meant rather to improve mutual understanding and to provide an avenue for open dialogue. During the Site Tours Program, regulatory project managers will also participate in daily workshops with their industry counterparts, focusing on selective regulatory issues important to both CDER staff and industry. The primary objective of the daily workshops is to learn about the team approach to drug development, including drug discovery, nonclinical and clinical evaluation, postmarketing activities, and regulatory submission operations. The overall benefit to regulatory project managers will be exposure to project management, team techniques, and processes employed by the pharmaceutical industry. By participating in this program, the regulatory project manager will grow professionally by gaining a better understanding of industry processes and procedures. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 III. Site Selection All travel expenses associated with the Site Tours Program will be the responsibility of CDER; therefore, selection will be based on the availability of funds and resources for each fiscal year. Selection will also be based on firms having a favorable facility status as determined by FDA’s Office of Regulatory Affairs District Offices in the firms’ respective regions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the information request collection title for reference. Information Collection Request Title: Health Center Patient Survey. OMB No. 0915–0368—Extension. Abstract: HRSA-supported health centers (those entities funded under SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 section 330 of the Public Health Service Act) deliver comprehensive, affordable, quality primary health care to over 30 million patients nationwide, regardless of their ability to pay. Nearly 1,400 health centers operate over 14,000 service delivery sites in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. In the past, HRSA conducted the Health Center Patient Survey (HCPS), which surveys patients of HRSA-funded health centers. The HCPS collects information about sociodemographic characteristics, health conditions, health behaviors, access to and utilization of health care services, and satisfaction with health care received at HRSAfunded health centers. The renewal of the HCPS will use the same modules from the 2022 HCPS (OMB #0915– 0368). There is no change to the current survey instruments. Survey results come from in-person, one-on-one interviews with patients who are selected as representative of the Health Center Program patient population nationally. A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on January 4, 2023, vol. 88, No. 2; pp. 361–362. There were no public comments. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The HCPS is unique because it focuses on comprehensive, nationally representative, individual level data from the perspective of health center patients. By investigating how well HRSA-funded health centers meet health care needs of the medically underserved and how patients perceive their quality of care, the HCPS serves as an empirically-based resource to inform HRSA policy, funding, and planning decisions. Likely Respondents: Staff and patients at HRSA-supported health 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.

These measures are used to obtain an accurate depiction of the breadth of SORH work, based on recommendations from the grantees. Submission of the TA Report is submitted via the HRSA Electronic Handbook no later than 60 days after the end of each 12-month budget period. Grant dollars are awarded annually; therefore, this information is needed annually by the program in order to measure effective use of grant dollars consistently among all the grantees.
