[Notice: (19-009)]


Information Collection for TREAT Astronauts Act

AGENCY: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

ACTION: Notice; amendment of information collection.

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

SUMMARY: This is an amended version of NASA's earlier Federal Register 
Notice which was published on March 13, 2019, Document 2019-04168, and 
Notice Number 84 FR 9143 (See Supplementary Information). The Office of 
Chief Health and Medical Officer (OCHMO), within the National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of its continuing 
effort to reduce public burden and maximize the utility of government 
information, provides the general public and other Federal agencies the 
opportunity to comment on an information collection project, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice invites 
comment on an information collection project titled, ``Information 
Collection for TREAT Astronauts Act.'' The TREAT Astronauts Act is 
subsection 441 within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
Transition Authorization Act of 2017 (115th Congress, https://www.congress.gov/115/plaws/publ10/PLAW-115publ10.pdf).
    The goal is to collect information for routine care, and develop a 
knowledge base on the effects of spaceflight as well as address gaps in 
services for medical monitoring, diagnosis and treatment of conditions 
associated with human space flight.

DATES: All comments should be submitted by April 25, 2019.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to Gatrie Johnson, National 
Aeronautics and Space Administration, 300 E Street SW, Washington, DC 
20546-0001.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency 
name, if applicable.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information or 
to obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, 
contact Gatrie Johnson, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 
300 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20546-0001, 202-358-1013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: There was an error in the Title in which 
``Information Collection'' was added in place of ``Electronic Medical 
Record for Implementation of'' and needed to be deleted. There was an 
error in the second paragraph in which the words ``maintain'', 
``digital medical records of'', ``health'', ``emergency treatment, and 
scheduled examination for active or retired astronauts in order to'' 
needed to be deleted. These were respectively replaced with ``collect 
information for,'' ``and,'' ``on the effects of spaceflight as well 
as,'' ``for,'' to add more specificity. There was an error in the 
ADDRESSES section in which ``Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.Regulations.gov. Follow the instructions on-line for submitting 
comments'' needed to be deleted. There was an error in the Abstract 
section, in which ``Flight medicine Clinic (FMC)'' is added in place of 
the clinic listed as ``Occupational Health Branch (OHB)'' and needed to 
be deleted. There was an error in the Background section, in which 
``Collection of Information within'' is added in place of ``management 
and utilization of'' and needed to be deleted. There was an error in 
the Background section, in which ``Collection of Information within''

to records management and associated list of policies needed to be 
deleted. Instead the following was added in place ``This information 
collection is conducted by clinic staff in compliance with NASA's 
Health Information Management System (10 HIMS) and NASA's Privacy Act 
System of Records Notice (SORN), consistent with NASA's privacy and 
information technology requirements.'' There was an error in the 
``Method of Collection'' section, in which ``forms within the EMR at 
the JSC, FMC accessible only to authorized staff at the clinic'' is 
added in place of ``and paper'' and needed to be deleted. There was an 
error in the Data section's Annual Number of Activities, Average number 
of Respondents, and Annual Responses in which ``175'' is added in place 
of ``36,840'' and needed to be deleted. There was an error in the Data 
section's Burden Hours in which ``87.5'' is added in place of 
``18,420'' and needed to be deleted. There was an error in the Data 
section, Burden Calculation table, in which ``87.5'' is added in place

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they 
conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires Federal agencies 
to provide a 30-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information, including each new proposed 
collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.

I. Abstract

    The project includes standard use of electronic forms within the 
Electronic Medical Records (EMR) under NASA 10 HIMS regulations at 
Johnson Space Center (JSC) Flight Medicine Clinic (FMC) by authorized 
healthcare providers assigned to, employed by, contracted to, or under 
partnership agreement with the JSC, FMC.

Background and Brief Description

    Collection of Information within the EMR at JSC, FMC clinics will 
be carried out in support of the TREAT Astronaut Act. The approved 
Public Law 115-10 states:
    This law authorizes the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration (NASA) to provide for:
     The medical monitoring and diagnosis of a former United 
States government astronaut or a former payload specialist for 
conditions that the Administrator considers potentially associated with 
human space flight; and
     the treatment of a former United States government 
astronaut or a former payload specialist for conditions that the 
Administrator considers associated with human space flight, including 
scientific and medical tests for psychological and medical conditions.
    The FMC clinic staff at JSC will collect information from former 
Astronauts and payload specialists. This information collection is 
conducted by clinic staff in compliance with NASA's Health Information 
Management System (10 HIMS) and NASA's Privacy Act System of Records 
Notice (SORN), consistent with NASA's privacy and information 
technology requirements.

II. Method of Collection

    Electronic forms within the EMR at the JSC, FMC accessible only to 
authorized staff at the clinic.

IV. Requests for Comments

    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of NASA, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including automated, electronic collection
