SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title:
Umbrella Generic Information Collection Request for Information
Collections Related to HRSA Gatherings, OMB No. 0906-xxxx--New.
Abstract: HRSA conducts gatherings for various purposes, including
conferences, meetings, workshops, webinars, trainings, communities of
practice, focus groups, and other in-person or virtual gatherings for
individuals and organizations that are interested in HRSA programs. To
ensure that HRSA has sufficient information to plan, convene,
administer, and evaluate the effectiveness of these gatherings, HRSA
must collect information from potential attendees, such as contact
information, organizational information, logistical information (e.g.,
preferred delivery methods), accommodation needs, and feedback about
the gathering's content. Furthermore, HRSA may conduct a test of
knowledge to see what attendees know about the subject matter before or
during the meeting or focus group. After the gathering concludes,
attendees may be asked to complete an evaluation form and/or a test of
knowledge to measure the gathering's effectiveness. In some instances,
attendees may also apply and/or submit an abstract for prescreening to
be selected for attendance.
An illustrative, but not exhaustive, list of examples of
standardized information collection activities related to HRSA
gatherings include:
<bullet> Registration Forms: Information collected includes name,
contact information, organization/affiliation, demographic information
(age, race or ethnicity, occupation, and location), and attendee
accommodation needs.
<bullet> Application Forms for panels, posters, or other
presentation formats: For application forms, information collected also
includes title, author(s), organization/affiliation, and presentation
abstract, in addition to the information contained in the registration
form.
<bullet> Focus Groups: Information collected includes attendee/
presenter responses to standard questions regarding topics posed to
smaller groups during HRSA gatherings.
<bullet> Pre-/Post-gathering Forms: Information collected includes
attendee/presenter preferences, feedback, pre-/post-meeting questions,
and tests of knowledge in response to standard questions.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2024,
89 FR 52067-68. HRSA received one comment that was outside the scope of
the proposed information collection.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The purpose of
collections under this umbrella generic information collection is to
gather appropriate information to plan, administer, and evaluate HRSA
gatherings. While HRSA can evaluate the general need for and the
overall practical utility of such information collection in advance,
HRSA may not be able to determine the details of the specific
individual collections until a later time. The planning for these
gatherings is often on a quick timeline and the standard timeline to
comply with a full request under the Paperwork Reduction Act could
inhibit HRSA's ability to collect information to inform these
activities. The information collected is expected to be voluntary, low-
burden, and uncontroversial. Therefore, an umbrella generic is
requested to allow for quick turnaround requests for similar
information collections related to these activities.
As this Generic ICR for HRSA Stakeholder Gatherings will focus on
the awareness, understanding, attitudes, preferences, or experiences of
HRSA customers or other stakeholders (e.g., funding recipients and
their delivery partners, potential funding applicants) relating to
existing or future services, products, or communication materials, the
Fast Track Process should apply to this information collection.
Therefore, HRSA requests OMB provide a response on individual generic
information collections within 5 business days.
Likely Respondents: Attendees and presenters at HRSA conferences,
meetings, workshops, webinars, trainings, communities of practice, and
other in-person, virtual, or hybrid gatherings. Attendees and
presenters may include HRSA funding recipients, individuals seeking to
participate in a HRSA-funded program, members of the public who utilize
HRSA-funded resources, contractors, researchers, and other members of
the public. Responses to any information collections under this Generic
ICR for HRSA Stakeholder Gatherings are not required to obtain or
retain any benefit.
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 conducted this
estimate based on reviewing burden estimates of forms
[[Page 83695]]
from previous HRSA gatherings, which were approved under other Umbrella
or Regular packages.
