Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Health Resources 

and Services Administration (HRSA) 

publishes abstracts of information 

collection requests under review by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of 

the clearance requests submitted to 

OMB for review, e-mail 

paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA 

Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443– 

1129. 

The following request has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: 

Proposed Project: Children’s Hospitals 

Graduate Medical Education Payment 

Program (CHGME Payment Program) 

(OMB No. 0915–0247)—Revision 

The CHGME Payment Program was 

enacted by Public Law 106–129 and 

reauthorized by Public Law 109–307 to 

provide Federal support for graduate 

medical education (GME) to 

freestanding children’s hospitals. This 

legislation attempts to provide support 

for GME comparable to the level of 

Medicare GME support received by 

other, non-children’s hospitals. The 

legislation indicates that eligible 

children’s hospitals will receive 

payments for both direct and indirect 

medical education. Direct payments are 

designed to offset the expenses 

associated with operating approved 

graduate medical residency training 

programs and indirect payments are 

designed to compensate hospitals for 

expenses associated with the treatment 

of more severely ill patients and the 

additional costs relating to teaching 

residents in such programs. The 

CHGME Payment Program application 

forms received OMB clearance on June 

30, 2010. Centers for Medicare and 

Medicaid Services (CMS) final rule 

regarding Sections 5503, 5504, 5505 and 

5506 of the Affordable Care Act of 2010, 

Public Law 111–148, published in the 

Federal Register on Wednesday, 

November 24, 2010, requires some 

modification of the data collection 

within the CHGME Payment Program 

application. The CHGME Payment 

Program application forms have been

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices 14033 

adjusted to accommodate CMS policy 

and require OMB approval. 

Data are collected on the number of 

full-time equivalent residents in 

applicant children’s hospitals’ training 

programs to determine the amount of 

direct and indirect medical education 

payments to be distributed to 

participating children’s hospitals. 

Indirect medical education payments 

will also be derived from a formula that 

requires the reporting of discharges, 

beds, and case mix index information 

from participating children’s hospitals. 

Hospitals will be requested to submit 

such information in an annual 

application. Hospitals will also be 

requested to submit data on the number 

of full-time equivalent residents a 

second time during the Federal fiscal 

year to participate in the reconciliation 

payment process.
