This information collection is approved for use for one year. When this collection is resubmitted for clearance, the agency should include the following: 1) an assessment of how the guidebook is used for reporting purposes. Many commenters raised concerns about OMB's approval being premature in light of the status of the guidebook. HRSA has stated that only the forms and instructions are necessary for complying with data bank requirements. The assessment should address the extent to which the guidebook, along with the instructions, is an essential element in completing the forms 2) an update on the progress made toward using improved information technology (e.g., the use of magnetic tape and floppy disks for the reporting of information) and an analysis of the cost savings related to the use of technology 3) a reassessment of the burden associated with completing each type of form 4) a report on compliance problems, i.e., those who fail to meet reporting requirements 5) a report on the contractor's ability to adhere to reasonable timeframes for the processing, correcting and disclosing of information and 6) a report on the percentage of malpractice and adverse action reports that are disputed by the affected practitioners.
