ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

requirement for opportunity for public 

comment on proposed data collection 

projects (Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995), the 

Health Resources and Services

plans to submit an Information 

Collection Request (ICR), described 

below, to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Prior to submitting the 

ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments 

from the public regarding the burden 

estimate, below, or any other aspect of 

the ICR. 

DATES: Comments on this Information 

Collection Request must be received no

Information Collection Request Title: 

Partnerships for Care (P4C). 

Supplemental Funding Progress Reports 

OMB No.: 0915–xxxx—New. 

Abstract: Partnerships for Care (P4C): 

Health Departments and Health Centers 

Collaborating to Improve HIV Health 

Outcomes is a 3-year cross-HHS project 

funded through the Secretary’s Minority 

AIDS Initiative (MAI) Fund and the 

Affordable Care Act (ACA). The goals of 

the P4C project are to build sustainable 

partnerships among CDC-funded state 

health departments (including 

Massachusetts, New York, Maryland, 

and Florida) and HRSA-funded health 

centers to support expanded HIV service 

delivery in communities highly 

impacted by HIV, especially among 

racial/ethnic minorities. State health 

departments and health centers will 

work together to increase the 

identification of undiagnosed HIV 

infection, establish new access points 

for HIV care and treatment, and improve 

HIV outcomes along the continuum of 

care for people living with HIV (PLWH) 

(see P4C fact sheet at http://

www.cdc.gov/hiv/prevention/

demonstration/p4c/index.html and HHS 

press release at http://www.hhs.gov/

news/press/2014pres/07/

20140715a.html). Each eligible health 

center (22 across four funded states) will 

receive up to $500,000 annually in 

HRSA supplemental funding (totaling 

$33M across the 3-year project period) 

to integrate high-quality, comprehensive 

HIV services into their primary care 

programs; and to work in collaboration 

with their state health department to (1) 

identify people with undiagnosed HIV 

infection, (2) link newly diagnosed 

individuals to care, and (3) retain 

patients living with HIV in care. Health 

centers must implement activities in 

five focus areas including workforce 

development, infrastructure 

development, HIV service delivery, 

partnership development, and quality 

improvement and evaluation. Health 

centers must demonstrate progress 

toward implementing all required P4C 

activities and improving health care 

outcomes across the HIV care 

continuum (see http://aids.gov/federalresources/policies/care-continuum/). 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: HRSA/Bureau of Primary 

Health Care (BPHC) proposes 

standardized data collection and 

reporting by the 22 health centers 

participating in the P4C project to 

achieve the following purposes: 

1. Ensure appropriate stewardship of 

federal funds. 

2. Support HHS efforts to streamline 

HIV data collection and reporting. 

3. Assess health center progress in 

implementing approved work plans and 

meeting other P4C goals and objectives. 

4. Assess health center progress in 

improving HIV outcomes across the HIV 

care continuum. 

5. Support health center use of patient 

data to improve quality of HIV care. 

6. Identify training and technical 

assistance needs among participating 

health centers. 

7. Support identification and 

dissemination of effective models and

promising practices for the integration 

of HIV services into primary care. 

Proposed data collection closely 

aligns with (1) core HIV indicators 

established by HHS (see http://

blog.aids.gov/2012/08/secretarysebelius-approves-indicators-formonitoring-hhs-funded-hivservices.html), (2) measures endorsed by 

the National Quality Forum (NQF) (see 

http://www.qualityforum.org/News_

And_Resources/Press_Releases/2013/

NQF_Endorses_Infectious_Disease_

Measures.aspx), (3) performance 

measures used by the Ryan White HIV/ 

AIDS Program (http://hab.hrsa.gov/

deliverhivaidscare/

habperformmeasures.html), and (4) the 

Health Center Program’s Uniform Data 

System (UDS) (see http://bphc.hrsa.gov/ 

healthcenterdatastatistics/

index.html#whatisuds). Specifically, 

HRSA/BPHC proposes submission of biannual progress reports (five total) by 

participating health centers to include 

aggregate, HIV-related, patient data 

(quantitative), and other information 

regarding implementation of approved 

work plans (narrative). 

Likely Respondents: Health Center 

Program grantees receiving 

supplemental awards under the P4C 

project (22 total). 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this Information 

Collection Request are summarized in 

the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments 

on (1) the necessity and utility of the 

proposed information collection for the 

proper performance of the agency’s 

functions, (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected, and (4) the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology to minimize the information 

collection burden.
