Public Comment Request; The Division of Independent Review Grant

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department 
of Health and Human Services.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), HRSA announces plans to submit an 
Information Collection Request (ICR), described below, to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA 
seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or 
any other aspect of the ICR.

DATES: Comments on this ICR must be received no later than November 28, 
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to [email protected] or mail the HRSA 
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Room 14N-29, 5600 Fishers

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the information request collection title 
for reference.
    Information Collection Request Title: The Division of Independent 
Review Grant Reviewer Recruitment Form.
    OMB No. 0915-0295--Extension.
    Abstract: HRSA's Division of Independent Review (DIR) is 
responsible for administering the review of eligible grant applications 
submitted to HRSA. DIR ensures that the objective review process is 
independent, efficient, effective, economical, and complies with the 
applicable statutes, regulations, and policies. Applications are 
reviewed by subject experts knowledgeable in health and public health 
disciplines for which support is requested. Review findings are 
advisory to HRSA programs responsible for making award decisions.
    This request continues a Web-based data collection system, the 
Reviewer Recruitment Module (RRM), used to gather critical review 
participant information. The RRM uses standardized categories of 
information in drop down menu format for data such as the following: 
Degree, specialty, occupation, work setting, and in select instances 
affiliations with organizations and institutions that serve special 
populations. Some program regulations require that application 
objective review committees contain consumers of health services. Other 
demographic data may be voluntarily provided by a potential review 
participant. Defined data elements assist HRSA in finding and selecting 
expert grant review participants for objective review committees.
    HRSA maintains a roster of approximately 6,000 qualified 
individuals who served on HRSA objective review committees. The Web-
based RRM simplifies review participant registration entry using a 
user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) with a few data drop down 
menu choices and a search engine that supports key word queries in the 
actual resume or Curriculum Vitae text. Review participants can also 
update their information electronically. The RRM is 508 compliant and 
accessible by the general public using any of the commonly used 
Internet browsers via a link on the HRSA ``Grants'' Internet site or by 
keying the RRM URL into their browser.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the RRM to 
collect information from individuals who are willing to volunteer as 
objective review committee participants for the Agency's discretionary 
and competitive grant or cooperative agreement funding opportunities. 
The RRM provides HRSA with an effective search and communication 
functionality with which to identify and contact qualified potential 
grant review participants. The RRM has an enhanced search and reporting 
capability to help DIR ensure that HRSA's review participant pool has 
the necessary skills and diversity to meet the ever-evolving need for 
qualified grant review participants. When DIR identifies an expertise, 
demographic need, or any other specific needs that are under-
represented in the RRM pool, DIR can recruit specifically to address 
those needs. Expertise is always the primary determinant in selecting 
potential review participants for any grant review and no participant 
is required to provide demographic information to join the pool or be 
selected as a reviewer for any competition.
    Likely Respondents: Individuals with experience in social, 
cultural, and health care fields who are knowledgeable about HRSA's 
mission and competitive program needs to deliver quality health care to 
all Americans.
    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.
