This ICR is
approved for 2 years, consistent with HRSA memo of 3/13/09. During
this time, HRSA will assess the quality of the information provided
through the new data system and identify any technical assistance
needed. For purposes of quality control, some respondents will be
required to submit information to HRSA twice; however, HRSA agrees
that this will be only for a finite period and primarily to assess
the reliability of the data submissions. Upon resubmission, HRSA
should describe in the supporting statement the revisions it has
made--if any--as a result of the initial 24 month implementation of
the new data system. HRSA should also discontinue the ICR the
current reporting requirements are covered under. HRSA agrees that
the the data from this system will not be used for PART purposes
until CY 2012 (i.e. data from CY 2011 will be reported in CY 2012).
Prior to implementation, HRSA further agrees to revise the
instructions to eliminate references to "de-identified data," as
the data being collected does not constitute "de-identified data"
under the HIPAA privacy rule. The instructions and guidance should
clarify that while identifiable health information is being
disclosed to HRSA, this is authorized under the privacy rule for
public health purposes. Further, HRSA agrees to clarify that
although the clients date of birth and gender make up the unique
client ID, this information is encrypted with SHA-1 before it is
sent to HRSA. As such, HRSA will never actually see the date of
birth and gender information that make up the unique client
identifier.
