Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Health Resources 

and Services Administration (HRSA) 

publishes abstracts of information 

collection requests under review by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of 

the clearance requests submitted to 

OMB for review, e-mail 

paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA 

Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443– 

1129. 

The following request has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: 

Proposed Project: Voluntary Partner 

Surveys in the Health Resources and 

Services Administration—(OMB No. 

0915–0212): Extension 

In response to Executive Order 12862, 

the Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA) conducts 

voluntary customer surveys of its 

partners to assess strengths and 

weaknesses in program services. To 

continue the periodic customer or 

partner satisfaction survey activities, 

HRSA is requesting an extension of 

approval from OMB. HRSA partners are, 

typically, State or local governments, 

health care facilities, health care 

consortia, and health care providers. 

Partner surveys to be conducted by 

HRSA might include, for example, brief 

surveys of grantees to determine 

satisfaction with a technical assistance 

contractor, or, in-class evaluation forms 

completed by providers who receive 

training from HRSA grantees, to 

measure satisfaction with the training 

experience. Results of these surveys will 

be used to plan and direct program 

efforts as needed to improve service. 

Focus groups may also be used as a 

potential method to obtain input on 

services and training. Focus groups, inclass evaluation surveys, and 

satisfaction surveys provide valuable 

input from HRSA partners and 

customers on agency services and 

materials. 

The estimated annual burden is as

William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims 

Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, 

8 U.S.C. 1232. 

Project Period: 5/1/2009–9/30/2009. 

SUMMARY: This funding will support the 

expansion of shelter/foster care program 

bed capacity to meet the additional 

number of unaccompanied alien 

children (UAC) referrals from the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) and other Federal agencies 

resulting from the recent passage of the 

William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims 

Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) 

of 2008. Many provisions in the TVPRA 

will dramatically affect the Office of 

Refugee Resettlement (ORR) UAC 

program’s capacity to provide 

placement, custodial and residential 

shelter care services. ORR expects an 

additional 6,800 referrals annually from 

DHS. 

The program has very specific 

requirements for the provision of 

services. Existing grantees are the only 

entities with the infrastructure, 

licensing, experience and appropriate 

level of trained staff to meet the service 

requirements and the urgent need for 

expansion. The program’s ability to 

avoid a backlog of children waiting in 

border patrol stations for placement can 

only be accommodated through the 

expansion of existing programs through 

this supplemental award process.

‘‘Low Income Levels’’ Used for Various 

Health Professions and Nursing 

Programs Included in Titles III, VII and 

VIII of the Public Health Service Act 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and 

Services Administration (HRSA) is 

updating income levels used to identify 

a ‘‘low income family’’ for the purpose 

of determining eligibility for programs 

that provide health professions and 

nursing training for individuals from 

disadvantaged backgrounds. These 

various programs are included in Titles 

III, VII and VIII of the Public Health 

Service Act. 

The Department periodically 

publishes in the Federal Register lowincome levels used to determine 

eligibility for grants and cooperative 

agreements to institutions providing 

training for (1) disadvantaged 

individuals, (2) individuals from 

disadvantaged backgrounds, or (3) 

individuals from ‘‘low-income’’ 

families. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

various health professions and nursing 

grant and cooperative agreement 

programs that use the low-income levels 

to determine whether an individual is 

from an economically disadvantaged 

background in making eligibility and 

funding determinations generally make 

awards to: Accredited schools of 

medicine, osteopathic medicine, public 

health, dentistry, veterinary medicine, 

optometry, pharmacy, allied health 

podiatric medicine, nursing, 

chiropractic, public or private nonprofit 

schools which offer graduate programs 

in behavioral health and mental health 

practice, and other public or private 

nonprofit health or education entities to 

assist the disadvantaged to enter and 

graduate from health professions and 

nursing schools. Some programs 

provide for the repayment of health 

professions or nursing education loans 

for disadvantaged students. 

Low-Income Levels 

The Secretary defines a ‘‘low-income 

family’’ for programs included in Titles 

III, VII and VIII of the Public Health 

Service Act as having an annual income 

that does not exceed 200 percent of the 

Department’s poverty guidelines. A 

family is a group of two or more 

individuals related by birth, marriage, or 

adoption who live together or an 

individual who is not living with any 

relatives. Most HRSA programs use the 

income of the student’s parents to 

compute low income status, while a few
