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: Free Clinics FTCA 

Program Application (OMB No. 0915– 

0293)—[Revision] 

Under 42 U.S.C. 233(o) and HRSA 

BPHC Policy Information Notice 2011– 

02, ‘‘Free Clinics Federal Tort Claims 

Act (FTCA) Program Policy Guide,’’ the 

FTCA Free Clinic Program requires free 

clinics to submit annual, renewal, and 

supplemental applications for the 

process of deeming qualified health care 

professionals, board members, officers, 

and contractors for FTCA malpractice 

insurance coverage. It is proposed that 

the application forms be modified to 

comply with the Patient Protection and 

Affordable Care Act section 10608, 

amending 42 U.S.C. 233(o)(1), as well as 

upgrade the application to provide for 

an electronic submission. The 

modifications include: (1) Inclusion of 

board members, officers, employees, 

and contractors into one comprehensive 

application, and (2) a fully electronic 

application that can be submitted 

electronically via email or the internet. 

It is anticipated that these modifications 

will decrease the time and effort 

required by the current OMB approved 

FTCA application forms.
