Abstract: The Hospital Preparedness Program (HPP) within the
Division of National Healthcare Preparedness Programs (NHPP), in the
Office of Emergency Management (OEM), Office of Assistant Secretary for
Preparedness and Response (ASPR), in the Department of Health and Human
Services is seeking clearance by the Office of Management of Budget
(OMB) for an extension on Generic Data Collection Form. The Generic
Data Collection Form will serve as the foundation for assessment and
evaluation for HPP stakeholders, recipients, and sub-recipient programs
and performance under the HPP Cooperative Agreement (CA) Program.
Program data are gathered from recipients for both ad-hoc episodic
reporting as well as required reporting as part of the HPP Cooperative
Agreement. Ad-hoc reporting includes but is not limited to Coalition
Assessment Tool (CAT) Data Collection Tool, Impact Survey, HPP Partner
Survey, CA after action reports, Ebola and Other Special Pathogens.
Required reporting include Mid-Year and End-of-Year Progress Reports
and other similar information collections (ICs) that account for
recipient spending and program performance on all activities conducted
in pursuit of achieving the HPP Cooperative Agreement goals.
This generic data collection effort is crucial to HPP's decision-
making process regarding the continued existence, design and funding
levels of this program. Results from these data analyses enable HPP to
monitor health care emergency preparedness and progress towards
national preparedness and response goals. HPP supports

priorities outlined by the National Preparedness Goal (the Goal)
established by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2005.
