SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a proposed data collection as described below. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses; and. 5. Assess information collection costs. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Proposed Project National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0234, Exp. 11/30/2025)— Revision—National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description The National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) was conducted PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 intermittently from 1973 through 1985, and annually since 1989. The survey is conducted under authority of Section 306 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 242k). NAMCS is part of the ambulatory care component of the National Health Care Surveys (NHCS), a family of provider-based surveys that capture health care utilization from a variety of settings, including hospital inpatient and long-term care facilities. NCHS surveys of health care providers include NAMCS, the National Electronic Health Records Survey (NEHRS) (OMB Control No. 0920–1015, Exp. Date 01/31/2027), the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) (OMB Control No. 0920–0212, Exp. Date 12/ 31/2024), and National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study (OMB Control No. 0920–0943, Exp. Date 09/30/2025). An overarching purpose of NAMCS is to meet the needs and demands for statistical information about the provision of ambulatory medical care services in the United States; this fulfills one of NCHS’ missions: to monitor the nation’s health. In addition, NAMCS provides ambulatory medical care data to study: (1) the performance of the U.S. health care system; (2) care for the rapidly aging population; (3) changes in services such as health insurance coverage change; (4) the introduction of new medical technologies; and (5) the use of electronic health records (EHRs). Ongoing societal changes have led to considerable diversification in the organization, financing, and technological delivery of ambulatory medical care. This diversification is evidenced by the proliferation of insurance and benefit alternatives for individuals, the development of new forms of physician group practices and practice arrangements (such as officebased practices owned by hospitals), the increasing role of advanced practice providers delivering clinical care, and growth in the number of alternative sites of care. Ambulatory services are rendered in a wide variety of settings, including physician/provider offices and hospital outpatient and emergency departments. Since more than 65% of ambulatory medical care visits occur in physician offices, NAMCS provides data on the majority of ambulatory medical care services. In addition to health care provided in physician offices and outpatient and emergency departments, health centers (HCs) play an important role in the health care community by providing care to people who might not be able to afford it, otherwise. HCs are local, non-profit, community-owned health care settings, which serve approximately over 30 million E:\FR\FM\20SEN1.SGM 20SEN1
