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

Act of 1995, the Office of the Secretary (OS), Department of Health and 
Human Services, is publishing the following summary of a proposed 
collection for public comment.

DATES: Comments on the ICR must be received on or before February 1, 
2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to [email protected] or by calling 
(202) 795-7714.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the document identifier 0990-0275-60D, and 
project title for reference, to Sherrette Funn, the Reports Clearance 
Officer, [email protected], or call 202-795-7714.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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

    Title of the Collection: Implementation of an Electronic 
Spreadsheet-Based Uniform Data Set for OMH-funded Activities.
    Type of Collection: Revision.
    OMB No.: 0990-0275; Office of the Secretary, Office of Minority 
Health.
    Abstract: The Office of Minority Health is seeking an approval on a

[[Page 62326]]

revision to a currently approved collection OMB # 0990-0275. The 
revised data collection activities seeks to further streamline the 
current questions grantees are asked by reducing the number of 
questions, and reduce the cost of the data collection system by using a 
more cost efficient alternative to the Performance Data System, (PDS) 
web-based portal. The overall reduction in questions will reduce the 
number of burden hours on grantees. The movement from a customized web-
based portal to reporting using commercial, off-the shelf software 
(i.e., a spreadsheet) significantly reduces the cost of performance 
data collection and reporting. To collect program management and 
performance data for all OMH-funded projects, grantee data collection 
via the Uniform Data Set, UDS (original data collection system) was 
first approved by OMB on June 7, 2004 (OMB No. 0990-275).
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The clearance is needed 
to continue performance data collection to enable OMH to comply with 
Federal reporting requirements, monitor, and evaluate performance by 
enabling the efficient collection of performance-oriented data tied to 
OMH-wide performance reporting needs. The ability to monitor and 
evaluate performance in this manner, and to work towards continuous 
program improvement are basic functions that OMH must be able to 
accomplish in order to carry out its mandate with the most effective 
and appropriate use of resources.
    Likely Respondents: Respondents for this data collection include 
the project directors for OMH-funded projects and/or the date entry 
persons for each OMH-funded project. Affected public includes non-
profit institutions, State, Local, or Tribal Governments.
