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 Officer 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:
    Evaluation of the Effectiveness and Impact of Community Health 
Centers--New--A mail survey will be conducted of fifty community health 
centers (CHCs) to collect information on characteristics of health 
centers (e.g., patients, services, staffing, financing and 
participation in managed care) during 1992. The survey is one component 
of an evaluation of community health centers that examines utilization 
and expenditures among Medicaid CHC users and non-users, using a sample 
of 50 health centers in 10 states. The survey will collect data that 
supplement information already available from health center annual 
reports, reviews and grant applications. Together with the secondary 
data, the survey results provide the basis for characterizing 
attributes of the CHC delivery system and examining whether features of 
the CHC delivery model assist in explaining observed differentials in 
use and expenditures among CHC users. The survey will be mailed to CHC 
Executive Directors, who are expected to delegate portions of the 
questionnaire to staff for completion. Burden estimates are as follows:
