Naval Health Research Center: Proposed Revision to Approved Information Collection (Paperwork Reduction Act Notice)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), acting in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, has announced a proposed revision to a previously approved information collection. The notice opens a public comment period during which stakeholders may weigh in on the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the revised collection. The agency is specifically seeking feedback on four areas: (1) whether the information collection is necessary for proper agency function and has practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's burden estimate for respondents; (3) ways to improve the quality, utility, and clarity of the data collected; and (4) methods to minimize respondent burden, including the use of automated or digital collection tools. This is a standard administrative procedural notice required under federal law before any federal agency can revise an information collection that affects the public. It does not introduce new substantive policy but signals upcoming changes to how the NHRC gathers data from respondents. Interested parties, including individuals, healthcare providers, military-affiliated organizations, and research institutions, are encouraged to submit written comments during the designated comment window.
