    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under

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

Proposed Project: Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) 
Grantee Survey--NEW

    HRSA is planning to conduct a needs assessment to obtain 
information about the characteristics of State EMS systems, and the 
degree to which they have been adapted to address the needs of 
children. The results of this assessment will be used to determine 
funding priorities, including development of appropriate guidelines and 
provision of technical assistance to States, demonstration grants, 
information collection and sharing among State agencies, and training 
programs for health professionals.
    HRSA has included national performance measures for EMSC in this 
survey in accordance with the requirements of the ``Government 
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993'' (Pub. L. 103-62). This act 
requires the establishment of measurable goals for Federal programs 
that can be reported as part of the budgetary process, thus linking 
funding decisions with performance.
    The estimated response burden is as follows:
