Proposed Project: Uncompensated Services Assurance Report (OMB No. 
0915-0077)--[Extension]

    Under the Hill-Burton Act, the government provides grants and loans 
for construction or renovation of health care facilities. As a 
condition of receiving this construction assistance, facilities are 
required to provide services to persons unable to pay. A condition of 
receiving this assistance requires facilities to provide assurances 
periodically that the required level of uncompensated care is being 
provided, and that certain notification and record keeping procedures 
are being followed. These requirements are referred to as the 
uncompensated services assurance.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
