Comment Request

In compliance with the requirement

for opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects

(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United

States Code, as amended by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Public Law 104–13), the Health

Resources and Services Administration

(HRSA) publishes periodic summaries

of proposed projects being developed

for submission to OMB under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To

request more information on the

proposed project or to obtain a copy of

the data collection plans and draft

instruments, call the HRSA Reports

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1129.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

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 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: Performance

Standards for Special Projects of

Regional or National Significance

(SPRANS), and Community Integrated

Service Systems (CISS) Projects—

(NEW)

The Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) proposes to

modify reporting requirements for

SPRANS projects, CISS projects, and

other grant programs administered by

the Maternal and Child Health Bureau

(MCHB) to include national

performance measures being developed

in accordance with the requirements of

the ‘‘Government Performance and

Results Act (GPRA) of 1993’’ (Pub. L.

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.

Performance measures for States have

already been established under the

block grant provisions of Title V.

Performance measures for other MCHBfunded grant programs are currently

being finalized, and will be sent to the

Office of Management and Budget for

approval.

There are approximately 30 proposed

new performance measures, however,

some measures are specific to certain

types of programs, and will not apply to

all grantees. Furthermore, the measures

are expected to be based primarily on

existing data.

The estimated response burden is as

The following request has been

and Budget for review under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project: Ryan White

Comprehensive AIDS Resources

Emergency Act of 1990—Title IV (OMB

#0915–0206)—Extension

This is a request for extension of the

reporting system of the Ryan White

Comprehensive AIDS Resources

Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990, Title IV

as amended by the Ryan White CARE

Act Amendments of 1996. It authorizes

a reporting system to collect information

from grantees and the service providers

that are their subcontractors as governed

under Section 2671 of the Public Health

Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 300ff–71).

Title IV provides support for

coordinated HIV services and access to

research for children, youth, women,

and families. It supports efforts to

develop comprehensive, coordinated,

62736 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 203 / Thursday, October 19, 2000 / Notices

culturally competent, family-centered

systems of care and to provide access to

research for those infected or affected by

HIV infection. The Title IV program

supports a broad variety of interventions

in health care delivery that are designed

to link clients receiving health care to

other essential and supporting services

and to clinical research. Grants are

made to public and private non-profit

health centers and other appropriate

public or non-profit private entities that

are linked to a comprehensive health

care system. This system includes

clinical research for children, youth,

and women. The HIV/AIDS Bureau

(HAB) within HRSA administers funds

for Title IV of the CARE Act.

There are 53 grantees under Title IV’s

Children, Youth, Women and Families

Program, with approximately 125

affiliated service providers, for a total of

178 entities who report information

about the clients they serve and the

services they provide. Grantees are

located in 27 States, Puerto Rico and the

District of Columbia.
