Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

In compliance with the requirements 

of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Public Law 

104–13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, the Health Resources and Services 

Administration publishes summaries of 

proposed data collection projects for 

public comment. Comments are invited 

regarding the following: (a) The 

necessity of the proposed collection of 

information for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency; (b) the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Proposed Project: Teaching Health 

Center Graduate Medical Education 

(GME) Program—NEW 

The Teaching Health Center Graduate 

Medical Education (GME) program 

(Section 340H of the Public Health 

Service Act) was established by Section 

5508 of Public Law 111–148, the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act. The 

program supports training for primary 

care residents (including residents in 

family medicine, internal medicine, 

pediatrics, internal medicine-pediatrics, 

obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, 

general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, 

and geriatrics) in community-based 

ambulatory patient care settings. 

The statute provides that eligible 

Teaching Health Centers receive 

payments for both direct and indirect 

costs associated with training residents 

in community-based ambulatory patient 

care centers. Direct payments are 

designed to compensate eligible 

Teaching Health Centers for those 

expenses directly associated with 

resident training, while indirect 

payments are intended to compensate 

for the additional costs of training 

residents in such programs. Payments 

are made at the beginning of the funding 

cycle; however, the statute provides for 

a reconciliation process, through which 

overpayments may be recouped and 

underpayments may be adjusted at the 

end of the fiscal year. This data 

collection instrument will gather 

information relating to the numbers of 

residents in Teaching Health Center 

GME training programs in order to 

reconcile payments for both direct and 

indirect costs. 

The annual estimate of burden is as 

follows:
