Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 159 / Friday, August 20, 2021 / Notices
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on April 20, 2021, vol.
86, No. 74, pp. 2049920500. No public comments were received in response to the ICR.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: HRSA uses the documentation submitted in core medical services waiver requests to determine if the grant applicant or recipient meets the statutory requirements for waiver eligibility outlined in Sections 2604c, 2612b, and 2651c of the Public Health Service Act.

Likely Respondents: HRSA expects responses from RWHAP Parts A, B, and C grant applicants and recipients. The number of grant recipients requesting waivers has fluctuated annually and has ranged from 15 to 22 per year since the waiver process was implemented in FY
2007.
Given the changes in the health care environment, HRSA anticipates receiving possibly up to 22 applications in a given year.
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.

HRSA notes that this proposed process represents a decrease in burden when compared to the current policy outlined in PN 1307 due in part to the elimination of the requirement to prepare and submit a narrative and multiple documents. HRSA specifically requests comments on 1 the necessity and utility of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of the agencys functions, 2 the accuracy of the estimated burden, 3 ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected, and 4 the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology to minimize the information collection burden.

The HRSA-supported Womens Preventive Services Guidelines were originally established in 2011 based on a study and recommendations by the Institute of Medicine, now known as the National Academy of Medicine, commissioned by HHS.
