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

proposed project or to obtain a copy of 

the data collection plans and draft

Comments are invited on: (a) The 

proposed collection of information for 

the proper performance of the functions 

of the agency; (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

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 

recordkeeping procedures are being 

followed. These requirements are 

referred to as the uncompensated 

services assurance.
