SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Radiation Exposure Screening 
and Education Program
    OMB No.: 0915-xxxx--NEW.
    Abstract: The Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program 
(RESEP) is authorized by Section 417C of the Public Health Service Act, 
Part C of Title IV, Public Law 106-245 (42 U.S.C. 285(a)-9). The 
purpose of RESEP is to assist individuals who live (or lived) in areas 
where U.S. nuclear weapons testing occurred and who are diagnosed with 
cancer and other radiogenic diseases caused by exposure to nuclear 
fallout or nuclear materials such as uranium. RESEP funds support 
eligible health care organizations in implementing cancer screening 
programs; developing education programs; disseminating information on 
radiogenic diseases and the importance of early detection; screening 
eligible individuals for cancer and other radiogenic diseases; 
providing appropriate referrals for medical treatment; and facilitating 
documentation of Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) claims.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: For this program, 
performance measures were drafted to provide data useful to the program 
and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by 
Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 
1993 (Pub. L. 103-62). These measures cover the principal topic areas 
of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, including: 
(a) Demographics for RESEP medical user patient population; (b) medical 
screening activities for cancers and other radiogenic diseases; (c) 
exposure and presentation types for eligible radiogenic malignant and 
non-malignant diseases; (d) referrals for appropriate medical 
treatment; (e) eligibility counseling and referral assistance for the 
RECA and Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Act 
programs; and (f) program outreach and education activities. These 
measures will speak to the Office's progress toward meeting the goals 
set. A 60-day Federal Register Notice was published in 80 FR 9268 
(February 20, 2015). There were no comments.
    Likely Respondents: RESEP award recipients.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
