Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 28 / Tuesday, February 11, 2020 / Notices

Report in addition to grant award
(including any carryover) amounts. This
addition allows HRSA to understand the
full scope and impact of the RWHAP on
state and local levels. Program income
and pharmaceutical rebate expenditures
should already be tracked by recipients
and should not increase reporting
burden. RWHAP Parts A and B
recipients funded under the Ending the
HIV Epidemic Initiative (EHE)—a new
funding source to implement four key
strategies (diagnose, treat, prevent, and
respond) to end the HIV epidemic—
would be required to report EHE service
allocations and corresponding EHE
award expenditures in the A&E
Reports.1 This addition allows HRSA to
track and report progress toward
meeting the EHE goals.
In addition to these substantive
modifications, minor changes are
proposed to (1) the layout of the A&E
Reports that affects how already
required data is reported; (2) align
service categories with HRSA Policy
Clarification Notice #16–02: RWHAP
Services: Eligible Individuals &
Allowable Uses of Funds, updated
October 22, 2019; and (3) add clarity to
language used.

Consolidated List of Contractors
Recipients funded under RWHAP
Parts A and B are required to report
information about their service provider
contracts or sub awards in the CLC, a
report that is generated from data
entered through other systems. The CLC
form identifies a recipient’s contracts
with service providers for the current
grant year, the contract amount, the
types of services the service provider
provided, and the service provider’s
status as a minority or faith-based
provider. HRSA is not proposing any
changes to the CLC.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Accurate allocation,
expenditure, and service contract
records of the recipients receiving
RWHAP funding are critical to the
implementation of the RWHAP
legislation and thus are necessary for
HRSA to fulfill its monitoring and
oversight responsibilities.
The primary purposes of these forms
are to provide information on the
number of grant dollars spent on various
services and program components and
oversee compliance with the intent of
Congressional appropriations in a
timely manner. In addition to meeting
the goal of accountability to Congress,
RWHAP clients, advocacy groups, and

the general public, information
collected through these reports is
critical for HRSA, state, and local grant
recipients, and individual providers to
evaluate the effectiveness of the
RWHAP. The addition of program
income, pharmaceutical rebates, and
EHE funding to the A&E Reports will
allow HRSA the ability to assess
progress toward meeting the national
goals for ending the HIV epidemic.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A,
Part B, Part C, and Part D recipients
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.

Title of the Collection: US Core Data
for Interoperability (USCDI) New Data
Element Submission Form.
Type of Collection: New.
OMB No. 0955–NEW–ONC.
Abstract: The Office of the National
Coordinator for Health Information
Technology is seeking the approval for
a new information collection request
item the ‘‘US Core Data for
Interoperability (USCDI) New Data
Element Submission Form.’’ The U.S.
Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) is
a standardized set of health data classes
and constituent data elements used to
support nationwide, interoperable
health information exchange. When
published, the USCDI will become the
required standard data elements set to
which all health IT developers must
conform to obtain ONC certification.
This certification is required for

participation in some federal healthcare
payment plans. In order to insure the
USCDI remains current and reflects the
needs of the health IT community, ONC
has established a predictable,
transparent, and collaborative process to
solicit broad stakeholder input to
expand the USCDI. Anyone, including
ONC staff, staff from other federal
agencies, and other stakeholders may
submit proposals for new data elements.
These contributions will be in the form
of public comments through our Health
IT Advisory Committee (HITAC) as well
as direct public contributions by
proposing new data classes and data
elements for addition to future versions
of this health IT standard. The ONC will
evaluate each submission in
collaboration with the HITAC and upon
approval by the National Coordinator
for Health IT, new data classes and data
elements from these submissions will be
added to the newest version of the
USCDI standard for integration into
health information technology products
such as electronic health records. The
ONC is seeking approval to collect this
information yearly from Health IT
Stakeholders.
