[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''
is added in place of ``management and utilization of'' and needed to be
deleted. There was an error in the Background section, in which
``collect information from former'' is added in place of ``create,
maintain and securely archive digital medical records and physical
examination records of'' and needed to be deleted. There was an error
in the Background section, in which reference
[[Page 11330]]
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
of ``18,420'' and needed to be deleted. There was an error in the Data
section, Burden Calculation table, in which ``50'' is added in place of
``25.9'' and needed to be deleted. There was an error in the Data
section's Total Labor Burden in which ``4.375'' is added in place of

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
techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and included in the request for OMB approval of this information
collection.
