Sec. 3507(a)(1)(D)], the Indian Health Service (IHS) invites the general public to take this opportunity to comment on the information collection titled, ``Indian Health Service (IHS) Sharing What Works-- Best Practice, Promising Practice, and Local Effort (BPPPLE) Form,'' Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 0917-0034. This previously approved information collection project was last published in the Federal Register (80 FR 61215) on October 9, 2015, and allowed 60 days for public comment. No public comment was received in response to the notice. This notice announces our intent to submit this collection, which expires January 31, 2016, to OMB for approval of an extension, and to solicit comments on specific aspects for the proposed information collection. A copy of the supporting statement is available at www.regulations.gov (see Docket ID IHS-2015-0008). Proposed Collection: Title: 0917- 0034, Indian Health Service (IHS) Sharing What Works--Best Practice, Promising Practice, and Local Effort (BPPPLE) Form. Type of Information Collection Request: Extension, without revision, of the currently approved information collection, 0917-0034, IHS Sharing What Works--Best Practice, Promising Practice, and Local Effort (BPPPLE) Form. There are no program changes or adjustments in burden hours. Form(s): 0917-0034, IHS Sharing What Works--Best Practice, Promising Practice, and Local Effort (BPPPLE) Form. Need and Use of Information Collection: The IHS goal is to raise the health status of the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people to the highest possible level by providing comprehensive health care and preventive health services. To support the IHS mission and encourage the creation and utilization of performance driven products/ services by IHS, Tribal, and urban Indian health (I/T/U) programs, the Office of Preventive and Clinical Services' program divisions (i.e., Behavioral Health, Health Promotion/Disease Prevention, Nursing, and Dental) have developed a centralized program database of best practices, promising practices and local efforts (BPPPLE) and resources. The purpose of this collection is to further the development of a database of BPPPLE, resources, and policies which are available to the public on the IHS.gov Web site. This database will be a resource for program evaluation and for modeling examples of various health care projects occurring in AI/AN communities. All information submitted is on a voluntary basis; no legal requirement exists for collection of this information. The information collected will enable the Indian health systems to: (a) Identify evidence based approaches to [[Page 71814]] prevention programs among the I/T/Us when no system is currently in place, and (b) Allow the program managers to review BPPPLEs occurring among the I/T/Us when considering program planning for their communities.
