Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 28 / Friday, February 9, 2024 / Notices
for conduct relating to the importation
of any drug or controlled substance into
the United States because Mr. Gagne
was involved in a scheme to illegally
import and introduce misbranded
prescription drugs into the United
States. In proposing a debarment period,
FDA weighed the considerations set
forth in section 306(c)(3) of the FD&C
Act that it considered applicable to Mr.
Gagne’s offense and concluded that the
offense warranted the imposition of a 5year period of debarment.
The proposal informed Mr. Gagne of
the proposed debarment and offered
him an opportunity to request a hearing,
providing him 30 days from the date of
receipt of the letter in which to file the
request, and advised him that failure to
request a hearing constituted a waiver of
the opportunity for a hearing and of any
contentions concerning this action. Mr.
Gagne received the proposal and notice
of opportunity for a hearing on
December 6, 2023. Mr. Gagne failed to
request a hearing within the timeframe
prescribed by regulation and has,
therefore, waived his opportunity for a
hearing and waived any contentions
concerning his debarment (21 CFR part
12).

II. Findings and Order
Therefore, the Assistant
Commissioner, Office of Human and
Animal Food Operations, under section
306(b)(3)(C) of the FD&C Act, under
authority delegated to the Assistant
Commissioner, finds that Mr. Brendon
Gagne has been convicted of a felony
under Federal law for conduct relating
to the importation into the United States
of any drug or controlled substance.
FDA finds that the offense should be
accorded a debarment period of 5 years
as provided by section 306(c)(2)(A)(iii)
of the FD&C Act.
As a result of the foregoing finding,
Mr. Gagne is debarred for a period of 5
years from importing or offering for
import any drug into the United States,
effective (see DATES). Pursuant to section
301(cc) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
331(cc)), the importing or offering for
import into the United States of any
drug by, with the assistance of, or at the
direction of Mr. Gagne is a prohibited
act.
Dated: February 6, 2024.

Associate Commissioner for Policy.

Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), Department of
Health and Human Services.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
HRSA submitted an Information
Collection Request (ICR) to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. Comments
submitted during the first public review
of this ICR will be provided to OMB.
OMB will accept further comments from
the public during the review and
approval period. OMB may act on
HRSA’s ICR only after the 30-day
comment period for this notice has
closed.
SUMMARY:
Comments on this ICR should be
received no later than March 11, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
within 30 days of publication of this
notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/
PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting
‘‘Currently under Review—Open for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
HRSA Grantee Satisfaction Survey:
OMB No. 0906–0006—Revision.
Abstract: HRSA plans to survey HRSA
grant recipients to better understand
their opinions about HRSA’s grants
processes and to improve the way HRSA
conducts business with them. This
survey will focus on grantee customer
satisfaction areas related to the grant life
cycle, grantee relationships with HRSA
staff (e.g., Project Officers, Grants
Management Officers), technical
assistance received from HRSA Bureaus
and Offices, availability of grant
resources, and grantee access to
guidance and instructional documents,

etc. The seven grants management areas,
which are directly related to the grants
life cycle, are: Customer Service/
Cooperation; Policies and Procedures;
Pre-Award Phase; Award Phase;
Reporting/Post-Award Administration;
Technical Assistance; and Priorities for
Improvement. Receiving this
information from external customers
will provide HRSA with a repository of
information that will be incorporated
into strategic efforts to improve grants
management services and customer
service.
HRSA revised the planned survey to
reflect a change in the sampling
methodology. In past survey
administration cycles, HRSA sent a
single survey to each organization and
asked them to complete the survey for
the award they had received from HRSA
for the longest time period. This past
approach did not allow for a range of
program-specific feedback from HRSA
grantees. In this survey administration
cycle, HRSA will send the survey to
each individual grant project director
and ask them to complete the survey for
a specific award. This new approach
will enable HRSA to obtain more
granular and actionable information
regarding the full range of grant awards
received by HRSA awardees.
Compared to the 60-day Federal
Register notice, HRSA anticipates the
number of potential survey respondents
will increase from 3,690 to 7,813 due to
the change in the sampling
methodology. HRSA also anticipates an
increase in the burden hours compared
to the 60-day Federal Register notice,
based on a reassessment of the time
completion of the survey conducted
during a pre-test. The adjusted average
of completing the survey is 0.34 hours
per response.
A 60-day notice for this information
collection was published in the Federal
Register on March 10, 2023, Vol. 88, No.
47; pp. 15053. There were no public
comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The HRSA Grantee
Satisfaction Survey will provide
meaningful and relevant results to
agency decision-makers about various
customer satisfaction domains (e.g.,
efficiency, timeliness, usefulness,
responsiveness, quality of and overall
satisfaction with HRSA project officers,
products and services). The information
collected will assist HRSA in its efforts
to gauge, understand and respond to the
needs and concerns of its customers,
especially as they relate to the
aforementioned areas. The survey
results will provide HRSA with concrete
indicators regarding the best areas in
which to dedicate resources to improve

customer service. HRSA will use this
information to support agency-wide
continuous quality improvement efforts.
HRSA will use survey results to
improve the efficiency, quality, and
timeliness of its grants business
processes, as well as to strengthen its
partnership with external customers.
Likely Respondents: Individuals who
are identified as the project director for
a current HRSA grant award.
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.
