Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, HHS.
    In compliance with the requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the

[[Page 29167]]

Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of Health and Human Services, 
is publishing the following summary of a proposed collection for public 
comment. Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding this 
burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, 
including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility 
of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of 
the agency's 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.
    Type of Information Collection Request: Revision.
    Title of Information Collection: Development of an Evaluation 
Protocol for Assessing Impacts of OMH State Initiatives.
    Form/OMB No.: 0990-0275.
    Use: This request for clearance involves modification of the OMB 
approved Office of Minority Health (OMH) Uniform Data Set (UDS) (OMB 
No. 0990-0275). The UDS is the regular system for reporting program 
management and performance data for all OMH-funded activities. The 
modifications to the UDS requested in this application are intended to: 
(1) Accommodate grant programs that were not required to use the UDS at 
the time the system was developed; and (2) continue the development of 
the UDS as a reporting system that will capture the types of data 
needed to identify best practices and assess the progress of OMH-funded 
activities. The UDS has been implemented with 8 sets of grantees and 
cooperative agreement partners from 5 OMH funding programs. The 
recommended modifications will allow reporting by OMH partners 
receiving funding through the State Initiative and Umbrella Cooperative 
Agreement programs. These changes will improve OMH evaluation and 
planning capacities and support program accountability.
    Frequency: Reporting Semi-annually.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions.
    Annual Number of Respondents: 150.
    Total Annual Responses: 2.
    Average Burden per Response: 4.5 hours.
