Information Collection Request Title: Black Lung Clinics Program 
Performance Measures

    OMB No. 0915-0292--Extension.
    Abstract: The Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), HRSA, 
conducts an annual data collection of user information for the Black 
Lung Clinics Program, which has been ongoing with OMB approval since 
2004. The purpose of the Black Lung Clinics Program is to reduce the 
morbidity and mortality associated with occupationally related coal 
mine dust lung disease through the screening, diagnosis, and treatment 
of active, inactive, retired, and/or disabled coal miners. Collecting 
this data provides HRSA with information on how well each grantee is 
meeting the needs of these miners in their communities.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Data from the annual 
report provides quantitative information about the clinics, 
specifically: (a) The characteristics of the patients they serve 
(gender, age, disability level, occupation type); (b) the 
characteristics of services provided (medical encounters, non-medical 
encounters, benefits counseling, and outreach); and, (c) the number of 
patients served. This assessment enables HRSA to provide data required 
by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. 
It also ensures that funds are effectively used to provide services 
that meet the target population needs. HRSA does not plan to make any 
changes to the performance measures at this time.
    Likely Respondents: Black Lung Clinics Program 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 Information Collection Request 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
