Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
publishes abstracts of information collection requests under review by 
the Office of Management and Budget. These data collection requirements 
are authorized by section 241 of the PHS Act (42 USC 238j). To request 
a copy of the clearance request 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: Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities Data System 
(OMB No. 0915-0188)

    Extension--This is a request for extension of approval of the 
Healthy Schools Data System, which contains the annual reporting 
requirements for the Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities grantees 
funded by the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC), HRSA. Authorizing 
legislation is found in Pub. L. 104-299, Health Center Consolidation 
Act of 1996, enacting Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act.
    The BPHC collects data on its programs to ensure compliance with 
legislative mandates and to report to Congress and policymakers on 
program accomplishments. To meet these objectives with respect to the 
Healthy Schools, Healthy Communities grant program, BPHC requires a 
core set of information collected annually that is appropriate for 
monitoring and evaluating performance and reporting on annual trends. 
This data system, ``School Health Care Online (SHO)'', includes 
information on such specific program elements as:

--Student patient characteristics (e.g., age, grade level, gender, pre-
existing conditions, disease chronicity, and insurance status.
--Service utilization (e.g., immunization rates, health screening, 
referrals).
--Referrals to the Women, Infant and Children (WIC) nutritional program 
and other social services providers.
--Information on provider productivity.
--Use of emergency rooms for non-emergency care.
    There are to be no revisions to the data collection instruments.
    The reporting burden has decreased slightly because reporting has 
been changed from quarterly to annually. Estimates of annualized 
reporting burden are as follows:
