    Information Collection Request Title: Evaluation of the National 
Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities
    Abstract: Office of Minority Health (OMH) in the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH), Office of the Secretary (OS) is 
requesting approval for an extension from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for a previously approved data collection activity for the 
Evaluation of the National Partnership for Action to End Health 
Disparities (NPA). The NPA was officially launched in April 2011 to 
mobilize a nationwide, comprehensive, community-driven, and sustained 
approach to combating health disparities and to move the nation toward 
achieving health equity. Using an approach that vests those at the 
front line with the responsibility of identifying and helping to shape 
core actions, new approaches and new partnerships are being established 
to help close the health gap in the United States.
    OMH proposes to continue to conduct the evaluation of the NPA. The 
evaluation's goal is to determine the extent to which the NPA has 
contributed to the elimination of health disparities and attainment of 
health equity in our nation. The evaluation will accomplish this goal 
by addressing the following questions: (1) To what extent has a multi-
level structure been established to support actions that will 
contribute to the elimination of health disparities?; (2) How are 
leaders in the public, private, nonprofit, and community sectors 
engaged in collaborative, efficient, and equitable working partnerships 
to eliminate health disparities?; (3) How many and what types of 
identifiable actions are being implemented at the community, state, 
tribal, regional, and national levels that relate directly to the five 
goals and 20 strategies in the National Stakeholder Strategy (NSS); (4) 
How much is the work to end health disparities integrated into 
stakeholder strategies and mainstream systems (e.g., health care 
quality improvement, public and community health improvement, economic 
and community planning and development) in and beyond the health 
sector? (5) What are the promising practices for implementing actions 
that contribute to ending health disparities?
    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.
