Mini Supporting Statement A

A.1 Circumstances Making the Collection of Information Necessary

This information collection will be a tracking system for a public-accessible data resource on implementation activities in support of the Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) National Action Plan. COPD is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. At the request of Congress, the COPD National Action Plan was developed to address the burden of the disease and serve as a guide to organizations around the country to plan and implement activities, outreach, and research related to COPD.

A.2 Purpose and Use of the Information Collection

The COPD National Action Plan was launched as the first-ever national framework to address chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It was developed by the federal government in collaboration with key stakeholders including health care providers, nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups, policymakers, industry, researchers, patients, and caregivers. The purpose of this data collection is to build a central database where all stakeholders could enter and access information on activities that are being conducted to meet the Action Plan’s five goals:

1: Empower people with COPD, their families, and caregivers to recognize and reduce the burden of COPD.

2: Improve the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of COPD by improving the quality of care delivered across the health care continuum.

3: Collect, analyze, report, and disseminate COPD-related public health data that drive change and track progress.

4: Increase and sustain research to better understand the prevention, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and management of COPD.

5: Translate national policy, educational, and program recommendations into research and public health care actions.

This gathering of data on implementation activities would provide a central source of information to track how the National Action Plan is moving forward. Collecting this data will allow the government to more easily answer requests from Congress and other stakeholders about implementation activities that have been conducted and to track progress towards meeting its goals and objectives.

A.3 Use of Information Technology to Reduce Burden

No software will be purchased. NHLBI will be using Drupal, which is an open-source platform, for building all aspects:

• Public-facing home page

• Password-protected accounts for data collection/editing interface

• Account-only access to view contact information

• Public facing data visualization of aggregate numbers and links to individual organizations’ descriptive narratives

The collection form will be hosted on NIH servers. Organizations wishing to input or update their data will have to register for an account to use the database and to see other organization contact information.

A.4 Efforts to Identify Duplication

To date there is no comparable central database to collect COPD National Action Plan data and track progress towards its goals and objectives.

A.5 Impact on Small Businesses or Other Small Entities

A.6 Consequences of Collecting the Information Less Frequently

Once developed, respondents will be able to access the tracking tool from the COPD National Action Plan webpage at copd.nih.gov. There will be a link to the tool and organizations can access the tool anytime they have data to input or to generate progress reports. It is anticipated that organizations would use the tool on a quarterly basis to record their implementation activities.

A.7 Special Circumstances Relating to the Guidelines of 5 CFR 1320.5

This survey will be implemented in a manner that fully complies with 5 C.F.R. 1320.5. *Standard text*
