integrated into the existing HRSA 

Electronic Handbooks (EHBs) 

Performance Report module in fiscal 

year 2009. The online NFLP–AOR form 

will be modified to collect additional 

data from applicants that will include 

information on the total number of 

enrollees, graduates, and graduates 

employed as nurse faculty by: (1) Age 

and Gender, (2) Nursing Programs, and 

(3) Nursing Degrees. Under Title VIII, 

section 846A of the Public Health 

Service Act, as amended by Public Law 

111–148, the Secretary of Health and 

Human Services (HHS) enters into an 

agreement with a school of nursing and 

makes an award to the school. The 

award is used to establish a distinct 

account for the NFLP loan fund at the 

school. The school of nursing makes 

loans from the NFLP fund to students 

enrolled full-time or part-time in a 

master’s or doctoral nursing education 

program that will prepare them to 

become qualified nursing faculty. 

Following graduation from the NFLP 

lending school, loan recipients may 

receive up to 85 percent NFLP loan 

cancellation over a consecutive fouryear period in exchange for service as 

full-time faculty at a school of nursing. 

The NFLP lending school collects any 

portion of the loan that is not cancelled 

and any loans that go into repayment 

and deposits these monies into the 

NFLP loan fund to make additional 

NFLP loans. 

The school of nursing must keep 

records of all NFLP loan fund 

transactions. The NFLP–AOR is used to 

monitor grantee performance by 

collection of information relating to the 

NFLP loan fund operations and 

financial activities for a specified 

reporting period (July 1 through June 30 

of the academic year). Participating 

schools are required to complete and 

submit the NFLP–AOR annually. In 

addition to the newly required data, 

participating schools will provide the 

Federal Government with current and 

cumulative information on: (1) The 

number and amount of loans made, (2) 

the number of NFLP loan recipients and 

NFLP graduates, (3) the number and 

amount of loans collected, (4) the 

number and amount of loans in 

repayment, (5) the number of NFLP 

graduates employed as nurse faculty, 

and (6) NFLP loan fund receipts, 

disbursements and other related costs. 

The NFLP loan fund balance is used to 

determine future awards to the school.

Proposed Project 

The National Hospital Care Survey 

(NHCS)—New—National Center for 

Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Section 306 of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as 

amended, authorizes that the Secretary 

of Health and Human Services (DHHS), 

acting through NCHS, shall collect 

statistics on the extent and nature of 

illness and disability of the population 

of the United States. This three-year 

clearance request includes data 

collection from hospital inpatient 

departments; hospital ambulatory 

departments including emergency 

departments (ED), outpatient 

departments (OPD), and ambulatory 

surgery centers (ASC); and freestanding 

ASCs of the new National Hospital Care 

Survey. 

The National Center for Health 

Statistics’ (NCHS) surveys on hospital 

care include the National Hospital 

Discharge Survey (NHDS) (OMB 

No.0920–0212) and the National 

Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care 

Survey (NHAMCS) (OMB No. 0920– 

0234). NHDS has, since 1965, provided 

critical information on the utilization of 

the nation’s non-Federal short-stay 

hospitals and on the nature and 

treatment of illness among the inpatient 

hospitalized population. NHAMCS has 

provided data annually since 1992 

concerning the nation’s use of hospital 

emergency and outpatient departments, 

and since 2009 and 2010, on hospital 

based and free-standing ambulatory 

surgery centers, respectively. These data 

have been extensively used for 

monitoring changes and analyzing the 

types of care provided in the nation’s 

hospitals. NCHS is planning to integrate 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 24, 2010 / Notices 71709 

the data collected from these two 

hospital surveys and freestanding ASCs 

into one survey, called the National 

Hospital Care Survey (NHCS). This 

integration will increase the wealth and 

depth of data on health care utilization 

and allow for linkages to other data 

sources such as the National Death 

Index and data from Centers for 

Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). 

A new sample of 500 hospitals drawn 

for the NHCS will be recruited. Annual 

data collection will begin by collecting 

the electronic Uniform Bills (UB–04s) 

on inpatients, along with facility level 

data, from recruited hospitals for the 

year 2011 onward. A pretest of a survey 

supplement on acute coronary 

syndrome sponsored by the National 

Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute will 

also be fielded in 2011. Then, starting in 

2013, the sampled hospitals will be 

asked to provide data on the utilization 

of health care provided in their 

emergency and outpatient departments 

(ED and OPD) and ambulatory surgery 

centers (ASCs), thus integrating the 

NHDS and NHAMCS into NHCS. A new 

sample for freestanding ASCs will also 

be recruited in 2013. NHCS will replace 

NHDS and NHAMCS but continue to 

provide nationally representative data 

on utilization of hospital care and 

general purpose health-care statistics on 

inpatient care as well as care delivered 

in EDs, OPDs, and ASCs. 

Patient level, discharge/visit level, 

and facility level data items will be 

collected from the recruited hospitals 

and freestanding ASCs in the NHCS. 

Patient level data items will include 

basic demographic information, 

personal identifiers, name, address, 

social security number (if available), 

and medical record number (if 

available). Discharge/visit level data 

will include admission and discharge 

dates, reason(s) for visit, diagnoses, 

diagnostic services, surgical and nonsurgical procedures, medications, and 

disposition. Facility level data items 

will include demographic information, 

clinical capabilities, and financial 

information. 

The pretest of the supplement on 

acute coronary syndrome will be 

conducted in a convenience sample of 

32 hospitals and discharges will be 

identified from the UB–04 codes for a 

diagnosis of acute myocardial 

infarction. 

Users of the former NHDS and 

NHAMCS data include, but are not 

limited to CDC, Congressional Research 

Office, Office of the Assistant Secretary 

for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE), 

American Health Care Association, 

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid 

Services (CMS), Bureau of the Census, 

state and local governments, and 

nonprofit organizations. Data collected 

through NHDS and NHAMCS are 

essential for evaluating health status of 

the population, for the planning of 

programs and policy to elevate the 

health status of the Nation, for studying 

morbidity trends, and for research 

activities in the health field. NHDS and 

NHAMCS data have been used 

extensively in the development and 

monitoring of goals for the Year 2000 

and 2010 Healthy People Objectives. 

Other users of these data include 

universities, research organizations, 

many in the private sector, foundations, 

and a variety of users in the print media. 

There is no cost to respondents other 

than their time to participate.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: OCSE–396A: Child Support 

Enforcement Program Expenditure 

Report; OCSE–34A: Child Support 

Enforcement Program Collection Report. 

OMB No.: 0970–0181. 

Description: State and Tribal agencies 

administering the Child Support 

Enforcement Program under Title IV–D 

of the Social Security Act are required 

to provide information each fiscal 

quarter to the Office of Child Support 

Enforcement (OCSE) concerning 

administrative expenditures and the 

receipt and disposition of child support 

payments from non-custodial parents. 

State title IV–D agencies report quarterly 

expenditures and collections using 

Forms OCSE–396A and OCSE–34A, 

respectively. Tribal title IV–D agencies 

report quarterly expenditures using 

Form SF–269, as prescribed in program 

regulations, and formerly reported 

quarterly collections using only a 

modified version of Form OCSE–34A. 

The information collected on these 

reporting forms is used to compute 

quarterly grant awards to States and 

Tribes, the annual incentive payments 

to States and provides valuable 

information on program finances. This 

information is also included in a 

published annual statistical and 

financial report, available to the general 

public. 

In response to an earlier Federal 

Register Notice (75 FR 10805, March 9, 

2010), this agency received insufficient 

comments to support any substantial 

changes to these forms at this time. 

However, we continue to discuss 

improvements to these reporting forms 

with State and Tribal grantees and 

anticipate some minor revisions will be 

proposed in the near future. These 

revisions will be limited to any changes 

that may be necessitated by the 

expiration of program requirements 

under the ‘‘American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ (ARRA) and 

changes to reporting instructions that 

will allow Tribal grantees to, at least, 

use the same quarterly collection report 

submitted by State grantees. 

Respondents: State agencies 

administering the Child Support 

Enforcement Program.
