SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    On June 13th, 2019, we published a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on this collection of information for 60 days, 
ending on August 12th, 2019 (84 FR 27653). We received one (1) public 
comment from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners requesting 
Nurse Practitioners be granted the ability to sign for the 10-2201E, 
``Physician Consent Form.'' The USPP will consider amending Form 10-
2201E based on guidance from the Federal Occupational Health, Program 
Support Center, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the 
future to include the signature authority of Nurse Practitioners and 
Physician's Assistants authority of Nurse Practitioners and Physician's 
Assistants.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the NPS; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the NPS enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the NPS minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
