Abstract: Between August 2015 and July 2019, OMB has approved several information collection instruments, procedures and supporting materials in support of the HPOG 2.0 National and Tribal Evaluation. These include baseline data collection from all study participants, data collection protocols and procedures for the HPOG 2.0 Tribal Evaluation, and several instruments in support of the National Evaluation, including Short-Term and Intermediate Follow-up Surveys to support the HPOG 2.0 National Evaluation impact study. In July 2021, OMB approved Instrument 12a COVID-Cohort Short-term Survey (COVID-19 Cohort STS) and supporting materials. Since approval, the following events have led to the need for minor changes so some of the currently approved information collection. • OPRE’s Privacy Analyst reviewed the advance letter (Attachment K) and requested changes. An updated Attachment K is included with this request. • While preparing to program the COVID-19 Cohort STS (Instrument 12a), the team identified revisions to language that would help with the clarity of the request. The team also had a change in staffing resulting in a necessary update to contact information. An updated Instrument 12a is included with this request. • The success of the Intermediate Follow-up Survey Critical Items Only (Instrument 18a)—which was still underway at the time the COVID-19 Cohort STS was submitted to OMB for review and approval – led the team to create a similar Critical Items Instrument for the COVID-19 Cohort STS. This Critical Items Survey is labeled as Instrument 12b and is included with this request.

Short Statement: The original burden estimate for Instrument 12a, the COVID-19 Cohort STS, was based on a presumed sample size of 7,500 study participants, a 75 percent response rate (5,625 responses), and a 60-minute length. The revised burden estimates reflect the same total number of responses (5,625), however, the overall response rate allows for 518 interviews to be completed using the shorter, critical items version of the COVID-19 Cohort STS (Instrument 12b). The shorter interview, the subject of this nonsubstantive change request, is estimated at just 20 minutes. The requested change reduces the original burden estimate for COVID-19 Cohort STS from 1,875 hours annually to 1,851 hours annually, a burden reduction of 6.2 percent annually. Burden estimates were reduced to 0 for Instrument 1 (PAGES Participant-level baseline data collection, tribal and non-tribal grantees) and for Instruments 18 and 18a now that the study enrollment and the Intermediate Follow-up survey data collection are complete.
