Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13), the Health 

Resources and Services Administration

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

Proposed Project: State-by-State Self 

Assessment of Trauma Care Systems—

Reinstatement (OMB No. 0915–0259) 

HRSA proposes to collect data from 

the 56 States and Territories on their 

current trauma care systems to assess 

progress since the initial survey in fiscal 

year 2002. This information will be used 

to establish a national strategy to assist 

in future grant opportunities to the 

States to improve or enhance their basic 

systems infrastructure in trauma care 

delivery, as well as their collection and 

usage of quality trauma data. 

HRSA will be collaborating with 

partners from within HRSA’s Healthcare 

Systems Bureau, Division of Healthcare 

Preparedness (DHP), Bioterrorism 

Hospital Preparedness Program; HRSA’s 

Office of Rural Health Policy; and 

HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health 

Bureau. In addition, HRSA will 

collaborate with the Office of Public 

Health Emergency Preparedness; the 

Agency for Healthcare Research and 

Quality; the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention’s Center for Injury 

Prevention and Control; the National 

Highway Traffic and Safety 

Administration’s Emergency Medical 

Services (EMS) Division; and affiliated 

professional organizations through the 

DHP Trauma Program’s National 

Trauma-EMS Stakeholder Group. HRSA 

has included national performance 

measures for Trauma/EMS for this 

project in accordance with the 

requirements of the ‘‘Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 

1993’’ (Public Law 103–62). This Act 

requires the establishment of 

measurable goals for Federal programs 

that can be reported as part of the 

budgetary process, thus linking funding 

decisions with performance.
