60-Day Proposed Information Collection: Indian Health Service
(IHS) Sharing What Works--Best Practice, Promising Practice, and Local
Effort (BPPPLE) Form; Request For Public Comment
AGENCY: Indian Health Service, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 which requires 60 days for public comment on
proposed information collection projects, the Indian Health Service
(IHS) is publishing for comment a summary of a proposed information
collection to be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.
Proposed Collection: Title: 0917- 0034, ``Indian Health Service
(IHS) Sharing What Works--Best Practice, Promising Practice, and Local
Effort (BPPPLE) Form.'' Type of Information Collection Request:
Extension without revision of the currently approved information
collection, 0917-0034, ``IHS Sharing What Works--BPPPLE Form,'' which
was previously approved under the title ``Director's 3 Initiative Best
Practice, Promising Practice, and Local Efforts Form.'' Although the
name of the form has changed, the contents of the form remain the same.
Forms: IHS Sharing What Works--BPPPLE Form (OMB Form No. 0917-0034).
Need and Use of Information Collection: The IHS goal is to raise the
health status of the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people
to the highest possible level by providing comprehensive health care
and preventive health services. To support the IHS mission and to
provide the product/service to IHS, Tribal, and Urban (I/T/U) programs,
the Office of Preventive and Clinical Services' (OCPS) program
divisions (i.e., Behavioral Health (BH), Health Promotion/Disease
Prevention (HP/DP), Nursing, and Dental) have developed a centralized
program database of Best/Promising Practices and Local Efforts (BPPPLE)
and resources. The purpose of this collection is to develop a database
of BPPPLE and resources to be published on the IHS.gov Web site which
will be a resource for program evaluation and for modeling examples of
various health care projects occurring in AI/AN communities.
All information submitted is on a voluntary basis; no legal
requirement exists for collection of this information. The information
collected will enable the Director's Three Initiative program to: (a)
Identify evidence based approaches to prevention programs among the I/
T/Us when no system is currently in place, and (b) Allow the program
managers to review BPPPLE occurring among the I/T/Us when considering
program planning for their communities.
Affected Public: Individuals. Type of Respondents: I/T/U programs'
staff. The table below provides: Types of data collection instruments,
Number of respondents, Responses per respondent, Average burden hour
per response, and Total annual burden hour(s).
