Abstract: HRSA is seeking approval for a generic umbrella clearance to collect applications for awards for HRSA-funded programs that provide one-time funding, including pilot programs. Should any of these pilot SUMMARY: E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM 22MRN1 20485 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 57 / Friday, March 22, 2024 / Notices programs become permanent, HRSA will seek OMB clearance for these programs using a mechanism outside of this generic umbrella clearance. OMB guidance allows for the use of generic packages in cases where there may be a need for a data collection, but the agency ‘‘cannot determine the details of the specific individual collections until a later time.’’ 1 HRSA will only use this collection for HRSA-funded programs that provide one-time funding, including pilot programs. HRSA would only request OMB approval for collections under this generic umbrella collection if the collection is lowburden, uncontroversial, and is a onetime application. Furthermore, if Congress appropriates additional funding for such a program or HRSA uses the information from the applications for policy decisions not related to funding awards, HRSA will prepare a standard information collection request for that program, which will include the required 60- and 30-day Federal Register notices. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA seeks to use an umbrella generic clearance for HRSAfunded programs that provide one-time funding, including pilot programs, so that funding can be awarded expeditiously. Expeditious awarding of funding is helpful not only for administrative ease, but also for cases where a pilot program or a program receiving one-time funding has a statutory deadline for completion. Approval of this proposed generic umbrella collection would enable HRSA to collect information from individual and site applicants and enable HRSA to make selection determinations for onetime awards in a timely manner. Information collections under this umbrella generic collection would be applications for funding (solely providing applicants with an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities in accordance with HRSA’s statement of work or selection criteria and other related information) and forms required for monitoring funding recipients. Following the award, the awardee may also be required to provide progress reports or additional documents. Likely Respondents: Each fast-track ICR under this generic umbrella ICR will specify the specific manner that respondents will be enlisted. Respondents will vary by the specific program and are determined by each program’s eligibility, to include but are not limited to the following: health providers and other paraprofessionals, health facilities, accredited health professions schools or programs, State and local governments, and other eligible entities. Respondents will be recruited by means of information listed on HRSA’s website, or advertisements in public venues. The privacy of any potential or actual respondents will be preserved to the extent requested by participants and as permitted by law. Once applicants are selected and awards are made, these awardees will be respondents for monitoring collections such as progress reports. 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. HRSA intends to use this generic umbrella ICR for applications with a low burden and monitoring awardees. To estimate the burden for this collection, HRSA estimated how much time it would take for a respondent to complete a 2-page application with typical fields used in current collections that may fall under this generic umbrella ICR. HRSA then calculated the average burden estimate from these ICRs for the purpose of the estimate for this ICR. To estimate the burden for monitoring funding recipients, HRSA estimated how much time it would take for funding recipients to complete the average 2-page form used for program monitoring. The total burden hours over a 3-year period estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.

comment on proposed data collection projects of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, HRSA announces plans to submit an Information Collection 
Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) concerning a proposed authorization to conduct the generic 
solution for solicitation for awards for HRSA-funded programs that 
provide one-time funding, including pilot programs. Prior to submitting

there may be a need for a data collection, but the agency ``cannot

    Furthermore, if Congress appropriates additional funding for such a 
program or HRSA uses the information from the applications for policy 
decisions not related to funding awards, HRSA will prepare a standard 
information collection request for that program, which will include the 
required 60- and 30-day Federal Register notices.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA seeks to use an 
umbrella generic clearance for HRSA-funded programs that provide one-
time funding, including pilot programs, so that funding can be awarded 
expeditiously. Expeditious awarding of funding is helpful not only for 
administrative ease, but also for cases where a pilot program or a 
program receiving one-time funding has a statutory deadline for 
completion. Approval of this proposed generic umbrella collection would 
enable HRSA to collect information from individual and site applicants 
and enable HRSA to make selection determinations for one-time awards in 
a timely manner.
    Information collections under this umbrella generic collection 
would be applications for funding (solely providing applicants with an 
opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities in accordance with HRSA's 
statement of work or selection criteria and other related information) 
and forms required for monitoring funding recipients. Following the 
award, the awardee may also be required to provide progress reports or 
additional documents.
    Likely Respondents: Each fast-track ICR under this generic umbrella 
ICR will specify the specific manner that respondents will be enlisted. 
Respondents will vary by the specific program and are determined by 
each program's eligibility, to include but are not limited to the 
following: health providers and other paraprofessionals, health 
facilities, accredited health professions schools or programs, State 
and local governments, and other eligible entities.
    Respondents will be recruited by means of information listed on 
HRSA's website, or advertisements in public venues. The privacy of any 
potential or actual respondents will be preserved to the extent 
requested by participants and as permitted by law.
    Once applicants are selected and awards are made, these awardees 
will be respondents for monitoring collections such as progress 
reports.
    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.
    HRSA intends to use this generic umbrella ICR for applications with 
a low burden and monitoring awardees. To estimate the burden for this 
collection, HRSA estimated how much time it would take for a respondent 
to complete a 2-page application with typical fields used in current 
collections that may fall under this generic umbrella ICR. HRSA then 
calculated the average burden estimate from these ICRs for the purpose 
of the estimate for this ICR. To estimate the burden for monitoring 
funding recipients, HRSA estimated how much time it would take for 
funding recipients to complete the average 2-page form used for program 
monitoring. The total burden hours over a 3-year period 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.
