    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration

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

Proposed Project: Web-Based Semi Annual Report (SAR) (OMB No. 0915-
0262): Revision

    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Bureau of 
Primary Health Care (BPHC), plans to collect the annual reporting 
requirements for the primary care grantees funded by BPHC using the 
web-based Semi Annual Report (SAR). The SAR includes reporting 
requirements for grantees of the following primary care programs: State 
Primary Care Associations and State Primary Care Offices. Authorizing 
legislation is found in Section 330(m) of the Public Health Service 
Act, as amended.
    BPHC collects data on its programs to ensure compliance with 
legislative mandates and to report to Congress and policy makers on 
program accomplishments. To meet these objectives, BPHC requires a core 
set of information collected semi-annually that is appropriate for 
monitoring and evaluating performance and reporting on annual trends. 
The SAR has been a valuable instrument for collecting this information 
from grantees. The SAR provides data on services, characteristics of 
populations, leveraged funds, and services that fall within the scope 
of the grant.
    The estimated burden is a follows:
