Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection:

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) will publish 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, 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: National Health

Service Corps—A Uniform Data System

(New)

This is a request for approval to

authorize the National Health Service

Corps (NHSC), Bureau of Primary

Health Care (BPHC), Health Resources

and Services Administration (HRSA) to

implement a modified version of the

existing BPHC Universal Data System

(OMB No. 0915–0093) to collect data

from BPHC non-grant supported sites

(NHSC Free Standing Sites) in response

to Federal mandates for reports and in

support of efficient and effective

program management. A 60-day notice

for this project was published in

FR6241966 under the Title Reporting

Requirements for the National Health

Service Corps (NHSC) non-grant sites.

The project has been revised to reflect

an increased number of respondents and

response burden.

The National Health Service Corps

(authorized by the Public Health Service

Act, Section 331) needs to collect data

on its programs to ensure compliance

with legislative mandates and to report

to Congress and policymakers on

program accomplishments. To meet

these objectives, the NHSC requires a

core set of information collected

annually that is appropriate for

monitoring and evaluating performance

and reporting on annual trends. The

NHSC will provide data on services,

staffing, and financing.

Specifically each site will be asked to

complete the following six tables:

1. Services offered and delivery method

2. Users by various characteristics

3. Staffing and utilization

4. Charges and collections

5. Receivables, income and expenses

6. Managed care

Estimates of annualized reporting

burden are as follows:
