Terms of Clearance:
OMB is approving this emergency information collection request with the understanding that HHS/ASPR will work with CMS and CDC to consider and address all comments regarding the Conditions of Participation (CoP) Requirements for Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) to Continue Reporting Data for COVID-19 and Influenza After the PHE ends (RIN 0938-AU84). Additionally, HHS/ASPR will transition the collection to CDC's National Healthcare Safety Network (OMB 0920-0666) such that CDC collection will begin by January 1, 2023. In this transition, HHS will include the OMB control number/expiration date/public burden statement on all instruments and instructions associated with this collection and the transition of this collection. Any additional changes to this current HHS/ASPR collection prior to the completed transition to the CDC NHSN should be submitted for OMB review.

Abstract:
The data collected through this ICR is intended to inform the Federal government’s understanding of disease patterns, including the changing burden of disease, and develop policies for prevention and control of problems related to COVID-19. The principal use of the data collected through this ICR is to inform federal allocations of limited supplies (e.g., protective equipment and medication). It is also used to inform the White House, conduct research on hospitalization, and communicate to the public through daily and weekly reports for the public’s use and analysis.
Emergency Justfication:
The following revision changes are proposed to the requested federal data collection. The substantive change consists of making some fields inactive for federal data collection and changes to the cadence of reporting for a subset of hospital types. These changes are necessary to help the nation continue to track and manage the national COVID-19 response, and reduce the burden of hospital reporting, while allowing states the flexibility to continue their respective data collection systems. The changes discussed will reduce the number of data elements from 82 fields to approximately 69 fields and reduce the burden of reporting by 9 minutes. The changes discussed will reduce the number of data elements from 82 fields to approximately 69 fields and reduce the burden of reporting by 9 minutes.
