SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Umbrella Generic Information Collection Request for Information Collections Related to HRSA Gatherings, OMB No. 0906–xxxx—New. Abstract: HRSA conducts gatherings for various purposes, including conferences, meetings, workshops, ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 ADDRESSES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:31 Oct 16, 2024 Jkt 265001 webinars, trainings, communities of practice, focus groups, and other inperson or virtual gatherings for individuals and organizations that are interested in HRSA programs. To ensure that HRSA has sufficient information to plan, convene, administer, and evaluate the effectiveness of these gatherings, HRSA must collect information from potential attendees, such as contact information, organizational information, logistical information (e.g., preferred delivery methods), accommodation needs, and feedback about the gathering’s content. Furthermore, HRSA may conduct a test of knowledge to see what attendees know about the subject matter before or during the meeting or focus group. After the gathering concludes, attendees may be asked to complete an evaluation form and/or a test of knowledge to measure the gathering’s effectiveness. In some instances, attendees may also apply and/or submit an abstract for prescreening to be selected for attendance. An illustrative, but not exhaustive, list of examples of standardized information collection activities related to HRSA gatherings include: • Registration Forms: Information collected includes name, contact information, organization/affiliation, demographic information (age, race or ethnicity, occupation, and location), and attendee accommodation needs. • Application Forms for panels, posters, or other presentation formats: For application forms, information collected also includes title, author(s), organization/affiliation, and presentation abstract, in addition to the information contained in the registration form. • Focus Groups: Information collected includes attendee/presenter responses to standard questions regarding topics posed to smaller groups during HRSA gatherings. • Pre-/Post-gathering Forms: Information collected includes attendee/ presenter preferences, feedback, pre-/ post-meeting questions, and tests of knowledge in response to standard questions. A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2024, 89 FR 52067–68. HRSA received one comment that was outside the scope of the proposed information collection. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of collections under this umbrella generic information collection is to gather appropriate information to plan, administer, and evaluate HRSA gatherings. While HRSA can evaluate the general need for and the overall practical utility of such PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 information collection in advance, HRSA may not be able to determine the details of the specific individual collections until a later time. The planning for these gatherings is often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act could inhibit HRSA’s ability to collect information to inform these activities. The information collected is expected to be voluntary, low-burden, and uncontroversial. Therefore, an umbrella generic is requested to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar information collections related to these activities. As this Generic ICR for HRSA Stakeholder Gatherings will focus on the awareness, understanding, attitudes, preferences, or experiences of HRSA customers or other stakeholders (e.g., funding recipients and their delivery partners, potential funding applicants) relating to existing or future services, products, or communication materials, the Fast Track Process should apply to this information collection. Therefore, HRSA requests OMB provide a response on individual generic information collections within 5 business days. Likely Respondents: Attendees and presenters at HRSA conferences, meetings, workshops, webinars, trainings, communities of practice, and other in-person, virtual, or hybrid gatherings. Attendees and presenters may include HRSA funding recipients, individuals seeking to participate in a HRSA-funded program, members of the public who utilize HRSA-funded resources, contractors, researchers, and other members of the public. Responses to any information collections under this Generic ICR for HRSA Stakeholder Gatherings are not required to obtain or retain any benefit. 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 conducted this estimate based on reviewing burden estimates of forms E:\FR\FM\17OCN1.SGM 17OCN1 83695 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 201 / Thursday, October 17, 2024 / Notices from previous HRSA gatherings, which were approved under other Umbrella or Regular packages.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: 
Umbrella Generic Information Collection Request for Information 
Collections Related to HRSA Gatherings, OMB No. 0906-xxxx--New.
    Abstract: HRSA conducts gatherings for various purposes, including 
conferences, meetings, workshops, webinars, trainings, communities of 
practice, focus groups, and other in-person or virtual gatherings for 
individuals and organizations that are interested in HRSA programs. To 
ensure that HRSA has sufficient information to plan, convene, 
administer, and evaluate the effectiveness of these gatherings, HRSA 
must collect information from potential attendees, such as contact 
information, organizational information, logistical information (e.g., 
preferred delivery methods), accommodation needs, and feedback about 
the gathering's content. Furthermore, HRSA may conduct a test of 
knowledge to see what attendees know about the subject matter before or 
during the meeting or focus group. After the gathering concludes, 
attendees may be asked to complete an evaluation form and/or a test of 
knowledge to measure the gathering's effectiveness. In some instances, 
attendees may also apply and/or submit an abstract for prescreening to 
be selected for attendance.
    An illustrative, but not exhaustive, list of examples of 
standardized information collection activities related to HRSA 
gatherings include:
     Registration Forms: Information collected includes name, 
contact information, organization/affiliation, demographic information 
(age, race or ethnicity, occupation, and location), and attendee 
accommodation needs.
     Application Forms for panels, posters, or other 
presentation formats: For application forms, information collected also 
includes title, author(s), organization/affiliation, and presentation 
abstract, in addition to the information contained in the registration 
form.
     Focus Groups: Information collected includes attendee/
presenter responses to standard questions regarding topics posed to 
smaller groups during HRSA gatherings.
     Pre-/Post-gathering Forms: Information collected includes 
attendee/presenter preferences, feedback, pre-/post-meeting questions, 
and tests of knowledge in response to standard questions.
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2024, 
89 FR 52067-68. HRSA received one comment that was outside the scope of 
the proposed information collection.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of 
collections under this umbrella generic information collection is to 
gather appropriate information to plan, administer, and evaluate HRSA 
gatherings. While HRSA can evaluate the general need for and the 
overall practical utility of such information collection in advance, 
HRSA may not be able to determine the details of the specific 
individual collections until a later time. The planning for these 
gatherings is often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to 
comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act could 
inhibit HRSA's ability to collect information to inform these 
activities. The information collected is expected to be voluntary, low-
burden, and uncontroversial. Therefore, an umbrella generic is 
requested to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar 
information collections related to these activities.
    As this Generic ICR for HRSA Stakeholder Gatherings will focus on 
the awareness, understanding, attitudes, preferences, or experiences of 
HRSA customers or other stakeholders (e.g., funding recipients and 
their delivery partners, potential funding applicants) relating to 
existing or future services, products, or communication materials, the 
Fast Track Process should apply to this information collection. 
Therefore, HRSA requests OMB provide a response on individual generic 
information collections within 5 business days.
    Likely Respondents: Attendees and presenters at HRSA conferences, 
meetings, workshops, webinars, trainings, communities of practice, and 
other in-person, virtual, or hybrid gatherings. Attendees and 
presenters may include HRSA funding recipients, individuals seeking to 
participate in a HRSA-funded program, members of the public who utilize 
HRSA-funded resources, contractors, researchers, and other members of 
the public. Responses to any information collections under this Generic 
ICR for HRSA Stakeholder Gatherings are not required to obtain or 
retain any benefit.
    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
