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

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of

the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the

utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways

Proposed Project: Grants for Hospital Construction and 
Modernization--Federal Right of Recovery and Waiver of Recovery (42 
CFR, Subpart H) (OMB No. 0915-0099)--Extension

    The regulation known as ``Federal Right of Recovery and Waiver of 
Recovery,'' provides a means for the Federal Government to recover 
grant funds and a method of calculating interest when a grant-assisted 
facility under Title VI and XVI is sold or leased, or there is a change 
in use of the facility. It also allows for a waiver of the right of 
recovery under certain circumstances. Facilities are required to 
provide written notice to the Federal Government when such a change 
occurs; and to provide copies of sales contracts, lease agreements, 
estimates of current assets and liabilities, value of equipment, 
expected value of land on the new owner's books and remaining 
depreciation for all fixed assets involved in the transactions, and 
other information and documents pertinent to the change of status.
