Public Burden Statement: The purpose of this data collection is to gather information to allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to determine if requesters are eligible for Countermeasure Injury Compensation Program (CICP) benefits. Requesters (or their representatives) must submit appropriate documentation forms and relevant medical records as specified in Section 42 CFR 110.50-110.53 to the CICP. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this information collection is 0915-0334 and it is valid until XX/XX/202X. This information collection is required to obtain or retain a benefit (42 CFR Part 110). Access to these records is strictly limited to authorized users who are aware of their responsibilities under the Privacy Act and who are required to maintain Privacy Act safeguards with respect to such records. The System of Records Notice for Injury Compensation Programs, HHS/HRSA/HSB, System No. 09–15–0056, identifies authorized users. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3.5 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
