Notice.
In compliance with the
requirement for opportunity for public
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). Prior to submitting the ICR to
OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the
public regarding the burden estimate,
below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on this ICR should be
received no later than December 27,
2024.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to
paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, Room 14NWH04, 5600 Fishers
Lane, Rockville, Maryland, 20857.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and draft
instruments, email paperwork@hrsa.gov
or call Joella Roland, the HRSA
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, at (301) 443–3983.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When
submitting comments or requesting

Information Collection Request Title:
Behavioral Health Integration Evidence
Based Telehealth Network Program
Outcome Measures, OMB No. 0906–
xxxx—New.
Abstract: This clearance request is for
OMB approval of a new information
collection, the Behavioral Health
Integration Evidence Based Telehealth
Network Program (BHI EB-TNP)
Outcome Measures. Under the BHI EBTNP, HRSA administers grants in
accordance with section 330I(d)(1) of
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
254c–14(d)(1)). The purpose of this
program is to integrate behavioral health
services into primary care settings using
telehealth technology through telehealth
networks and evaluate the effectiveness
of such integration. This program
supports evidence-based projects that
utilize telehealth technologies through
telehealth networks in rural and
underserved areas to (1) improve access
to integrated behavioral health services
in primary care settings; and (2) expand
and improve the quality of health
information available to health care
providers by evaluating the
effectiveness of integrating
telebehavioral health services into
primary care settings and establishing

an evidence-based model that can assist
health care providers. HRSA created a
set of outcome measures to evaluate the
effectiveness of grantees’ services
programs and monitor their progress
using performance reporting data. The
measures address behavioral health and
substance use disorder priorities,
originating and distant sites, specialties
and services by site, volume of services
by site and specialty, patient travel
miles saved, and other uses of the
telehealth network.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA’s goals for the
program are to improve access to
needed services, reduce rural
practitioner isolation, improve health
system productivity and efficiency, and
improve patient outcomes. HRSA
worked with program grantees to
develop outcome measures to evaluate
and monitor the progress of the grantees
in each of these categories, with specific
indicators to be reported annually
through a performance monitoring data
collection platform/website. Measures
capture awardee-level and aggregate
data that illustrate the impact and scope
of program funding along with assessing
these efforts. The measures are intended
to inform HRSA’s progress toward
meeting program goals, specifically
improving access to telebehavioral
health services that support primary
care providers.
Likely Respondents: BHI EB-TNP
grantees.
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 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposed information collection was
previously published in the Federal
Register on August 1, 2024, 89 FR 62749
and allowed 60 days for public
comment. No public comments were
received. The purpose of this notice is
to allow an additional 30 days for public
comment.
The National Eye Institute (NEI),
National Institutes of Health, may not
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent
is not required to respond to, an
information collection that has been
extended, revised, or implemented on or
after October 1, 1995, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number.
In compliance with Section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) has submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) a request for review and
approval of the information collection
listed below.
Proposed Collection: Electronic
Individual Development Plans, 0925–
0772 and 10/31/2024-Extension,
National Eye Institute (NEI), National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The National Eye Institute’s
(NEI) Office of the Scientific Director
(OSD) goal is to train the next
generation of vision researchers and
ophthalmologists. Trainees who
participate in NEI research come with
different levels of education (student,
postbaccalaureate, predoctoral
including graduate and medical
students, postdoctoral fellows) and for
different amounts of time (6 months to
5 years). Training at the NEI focuses on
scientific and professional skill

development. To enhance their chances
of obtaining their ideal career,
completing an annual Individual
Development Plan (IDP) is an important
step in helping a trainee’s career and
professional development and is
standard practice in graduate and
postdoctoral education. An IDP is an
effective tool for trainees to think about
their career goals and skills needed to
achieve them during their time at the
NEI. Trainees work together with their
research mentor to organize and
summarize their research projects,
consider career goals, and set training
goals and expectations, both for the
mentee and mentor.
This information collection request is
to implement an electronic Individual
Development Plan (eIDP). The data
collected comes from a detailed
questionnaire focused on responses to
professional goals and expectations
while they are at the NEI. It is expected
that the trainees will complete the eIDP
annually and by doing so, it will help
enhance the effectiveness of their
training by setting clear goals that can
be monitored not only by the trainee
themselves but also by their mentor, the
Training Director, and their
Administrative Officer. In addition to
this eIDP, the system will also
implement an electronic exit survey.
The data collected comes from a
detailed questionnaire focused on
responses to questions focused on
trainee mentoring and professional
experiences at the NEI as well as their
plans after they depart. It is expected
that the trainees will complete at the
end of their tenure and that by doing so,
the NEI Training Program can learn
about ways to improve career
development opportunities for future
trainees as well as learn more about
trainee job choices to better advise
fellows. Additionally, we can use the
survey to help determine mentor
effectiveness and help identify problems
in mentoring at the NEI.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. There are no costs to respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
213.
