SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Black Lung Clinics Program Performance Measures OMB No. 0915-0292-Extension Abstract: HRSA's Federal Office of Rural Health Policy (FORHP), conducts an annual data collection of information for the Black Lung Clinics Program, which has been ongoing with OMB approval since 2004. The Black Lung Clinics Program seeks to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with occupationally-related coal mine dust lung disease. Collecting this data provides HRSA with information on the extent to which 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 [[Page 41555]] 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 ICR are summarized in the table below.
