OMB Control #0693-0033

Expiration Date: 06/30/2019

NIST Generic Clearance for Program Evaluation Data Collections.

Non-Substantive Change request justification.

NIST is requesting an increase of the number of respondents and burden hours for this Generic Usability Data collection to meet the needs of NIST Programs responsible for promoting U.S. economic growth by working with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements, and standards.

NIST has been tasked to study certain aspects of the usability and accessibility challenges for Health Information and Technology (IT), which is a national priority. In particular, NIST will be requesting participation input to develop federal strategies which would measure and access the use of Electron Health Records (HER) and the impact of their usability on its adoption, safety and innovation for the U.S. NIST will provide recommendations for developmental strategies which would encourage best practices and innovation for vendor products. To aid in accomplishing these missions, NIST would like to update the previous ICR Annual Hour allotment from 5,000 to 50,000 hours; and the ICR Annual Response allotment from 12,000 to 90,000.
