extend the information collection as approved under a justification for expedited review (approved November 2019) to increase the number of respondents under the previously approved NHTTAC Evaluation Package due to the passage of Public Law No: 115-398 (12/31/2018), Stop, Observe, Ask, and Respond to Health and Wellness Act of 2018 (SOAR to Health and Wellness Act of 2018). To meet the provisions of the SOAR to Health and Wellness Act of 2018, OTIP’s NHTTAC expanded the administration of SOAR nationwide. In addition, two performance measures required through the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) for the Agency are captured across all the SOAR instruments and therefore are administered to a larger population.
The NHTTAC Evaluation Package contains 34 evaluation forms and applications designed to solicit feedback from customers on training/technical assistance (T/TA) provided by NHTTAC. NHTTAC anticipated an increase to the number of respondents for 14 of the 34 total evaluation forms and received expedited approval to increase the burden threshold from 689 hours to 9,497 hours.
