meet when it promulgates a rule that imposes

substantial direct compliance costs on State

and local governments, preempts State law,

or otherwise has Federalism implications.

We have reviewed this proposed action

under the threshold criteria of Executive

Order 13132, Federalism, and, therefore,

have determined that this action would not

have substantial direct effects on the rights,

roles, and responsibilities of States.

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

In accordance with section 3507(a) of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, the

Department is required to solicit public

comments, and receive final Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) approval, on

collections of information. As indicated, in

order to implement the Children’s Hospital

Graduate Medical Education Payment

Program (CHGME), certain information is

required as set forth in this notice in order

to determine eligibility for payment.

In accordance with the PRA, we are

submitting to OMB at this time the following

requirements for seeking emergency review

of these provisions. HRSA has requested an

emergency review because the data collection

and reporting of this information is needed

before the expiration of the normal time

limits under OMB’s regulations at 5 CFR part

1320, to ensure the timely availability of data

as necessary to ensure payment to eligible

children’s hospitals. A 30-day notice was

published in the Federal Register on May 15,

2000 to provide for public comment and to

request an expedited review of the

information collection associated with the

CHGME. Delaying the data collection would

delay implementation of the statutory

purpose of providing payments by the end of

the fiscal year to children’s hospitals that

support training of residents in graduate

medical education programs.

Collection of Information: The Children’s

hospital Graduate Medical Education

Program.

Description: Data is collected on the

number of full-time equivalent residents in

applicant children’s hospital training

programs to determine the amount of direct

and indirect expense payments to

participating children’s hospitals. Indirect

expense payments will also be derived from

a formula that requires the reporting of case

mix index information from participating 25c

children’s hospitals. Hospitals will be

requested to submit such information in an

annual application.

Description of Respondents: Children’s

Hospitals operating approved graduate

medical residency training programs.

Estimated Annual Reporting: The

estimated average annual reporting for this

data collection is approximately 138 hours

per hospital. The estimated annual burden is

National Health Objectives for the Year 2000

The Public Health Service is committed to

achieving the health promotion and disease

prevention objectives of Healthy People

2000, and its successor, Healthy People 2010.

These are Department-led efforts to set

priorities for national attention. The CHGME

program is related to the priority area 1

(Access to Quality Health Services) in

Healthy People 2010, which is available

online at http://www.health.gov/

healthypeople/.

Education and Service Linkage

As part of its long-range planning, HRSA

will be targeting its efforts to strengthening

linkages between Department education

programs and programs which provide

comprehensive primary care services to the

underserved.

Smoke-Free Workplace

The Department strongly encourages all

award recipients to provide a smoke-free

workplace and promote abstinence from all

tobacco products, and Public Law 103–227,

the Pro-Children Act of 1994, prohibits

smoking in certain facilities that receive

Federal funds in which education, library,

day care, health care, and early childhood

development services are provided to

children.

This program is not subject to the Public

Health Systems Reporting Requirements.

The Notice is soliciting comments

from members of the public and affected

whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 118 / Monday, June 19, 2000 / Notices 37993

This Notice also lists the following

information:

Title of Proposal: Healthy Homes

Initiative.

OMB Control Number: To be assigned.

Need For the Information and

Proposed Use: This information

collection is required in connection

with the management of grants or

cooperative agreements related to

evaluation and control of housing based

hazards, funded by HUD as part of the

Healthy Homes Initiative. Healthy

Homes is authorized by the Housing

Development Act of 1970. To date,

seven programs have received FY 1999

funding totaling $8.5 million. HUD

anticipates that this level of grant

activity will continue in FY 2000 and

succeeding years.

Results from these grants or

cooperative agreements will be used to

provide protocols, materials and

information to other Healthy Homes

programs. It is anticipated that this will

increase the effectiveness of residential

hazard reduction interventions, while

improving the cost-effectiveness of the

entire process. This activity should

contribute to reducing housing based

hazards and improving the health and

safety of children and their families.
