Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Project: Free 
Clinic FTCA Program Deeming Application; Withdrawal

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is 
announcing the withdrawal of the 60 day FR notice published on August 
27, 2004, FR Doc. 04-19681, for public comment on the proposed data 
collection project related to the Free Clinic Federal Tort Claims Act 
(FTCA) Program deeming application. The notice is being withdrawn 
because the agency is requesting an emergency review and approval from 
OMB for the deeming application under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: The 60 day information collection notice is withdrawn effective 
September 15, 2004.

43, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-443-1129.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Emergency approval is being requested for 
the Free Clinic FTCA Program deeming application because the data 
collection and reporting of this information is needed before the 
expiration of the normal time limits under OMB's regulations at 5 CFR 
part 1320. This information is needed to ensure the timely availability 
of data as necessary for the Secretary to make a determination for the 
provision of FTCA deemed status to volunteer health care professionals 
working at free clinics. Upon OMB's review and approval of the proposed 
data collection project, HRSA will publish a new 60 day Federal 
Register notice to begin the process for routine clearance under 5 CFR 
part 1320.

    Dated: September 10, 2004.

Director, Division of Policy Review and Coordination.
