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) publishes 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 and draft

instruments, 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: Uniform Data System

(OMB No. 0915–0193)—Revision

This is to request a revision of

approval of the Uniform Data System

(UDS), which contains the annual

reporting requirements for the cluster of

primary care grantees funded by the

Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC),

Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA). The UDS

includes reporting requirements for

grantees of the following primary care

programs: Community Health Centers,

Migrant Health Centers, Health Care for

the Homeless, Outreach and Primary

Health Services for Homeless Children

and Public Housing Primary Care.

Authorizing Legislation is found in

Public Law 104–299, Health Center

Consolidation Act of 1996, enacting

Section 330 of the Public Health Service

Act.

The Bureau of Primary Health Care

collects data on its programs to ensure

compliance with legislative mandates

and to report to Congress and policy

makers on program accomplishments.

To meet these objectives, BPHC requires

a core set of information collected

annually that is appropriate for

monitoring and evaluating performance

and reporting on annual trends. The

UDS includes two components: the

Universal Report, completed by all

grantees, provides data on services,

staffing, and financing; and the Grant

Report, completed by grantees funded

under the Homeless or Public Housing

Program as well as one of the other

programs, provides data on

characteristics of users whose services

fall within the scope of the Homeless or

Public Housing Program grant. Grantees

are also asked to provide information on

the charges, collections, bad debt write

off and contractual disallowances by

payor sources (Medicaid, Medicare, self

pay and private insurance). In addition,

grantees need to include categories to

some of the lists (e.g., services, ICD

codes, CPT codes) and annotating the

forms to indicate which lines are

subtotals and the lines to which they

sum.

Estimates of annualized reporting

Proposed Project: Grantee Data

Reporting System for the Rural Health

Outreach Grant Program (RHOGP):

New

The Rural Health Outreach Grant

Program (RHOGP) is one of the major

grant programs managed and funded by

the Office of Rural Health Policy, Health

Resources and Services Administration.

The overall objectives of the program

are to expand access to, coordinate,

restrain the cost of, and improve the

quality of essential health care services,

including preventive and emergency

services, through the development of

integrated health care delivery systems

or networks in rural areas and regions.

While each project has different

objectives and activities, all grantee

projects involve the use of Networks of

three or more organizations working

together to improve health care in their

communities. Projects may be carried

out by networks of the same providers

(e.g., all hospitals) or more diversified

networks.

The proposed data collection

instruments are intended to strengthen

the Office of Rural Health Policy’s

(ORHP) Outreach Grant Program’s

existing grantee evaluation process and

grantee data collection. This

information collection activity will

provide ORHP with an increased

capacity for monitoring and evaluation

and will permit the efficient review of

the grant projects in relation to HRSA’s

strategic objectives.
