Health Resources and Services Administration


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, 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, 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: HRSA Competing Training Grant Application, 
Instructions and Relating Regulations (OMB No. 0915-0060)--Revision

    The Health Resources and Services Administration uses the 
information in the application to determine the eligibility of 
applicants for awards, to calculate the amount of each award and to 
judge the relative merit of applications. The form is distributed 
electronically via the Internet. The budget is negotiated for all years 
of the project period based on this application and program-specific 
instructions that include greater standardization of content for the 
project summary and the detailed description of the project.
    The Bureau of Health Professions is planning to remove from the 
Code of Federal Regulations the existing training grant regulations 
under 42 CFR parts 57 and 58. It is the intent of the Department to 
operate under new statute for compliance, implementation, and 
administration of the training grant programs under titles VII and VIII 
of the PHS Act. The existing regulations are fundamentally and 
extensively inconsistent with the new law which takes an 
interdisciplinary approach (and thus inhibits the achievement of the 
statute's objectives). Program specific guidance and information for 
preparing applications are now provided in the grant application 
materials (which makes them now self-contained).
    The burden estimate is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     Number of     Response per        Total         Hours per     Total burden
              Form                  respondents     respondent       responses       response          hours

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to: 
Wendy A. Taylor, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of 
Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, 
Washington, D.C. 20503.

    Dated: April 7, 2000.

Director, Division of Policy Review and Coordination.
