Proposed Project: Application for Certification and Recertification 
as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look Alike, OMB No. 
0915-0142--Revision

    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposed to 
revise the application guide used by organizations applying for 
certification, or recertification as a Federally Qualified Health 
Center (FQHC) Look-Alike for purposes of cost-based reimbursement under 
the Medicaid and Medicare programs. The guide will be revised to 
reflect legislative, policy, and technical changes since May, 1997, the 
issuance date of the last guidance. Revisions will include reference to 
the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 which amended the statutory language 
pertaining to FQHC Look-Alikes to include the requirement that ``an 
entity may not be owned, controlled, or operated by another entity'', 
and the interpretation and implementation policy documents issued by 
the HRSA.
    Estimates of Burden are as follows:
