Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
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 
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)-443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: The Sentinel Centers Network (SCN) Core Data Set (OMB 
No. 0915-0268)--Extension

    HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) established the 
Sentinel Centers Network (SCN) to assist in addressing critical 
quality, programmatic, and policy issues. Health centers identified as 
having adequate infrastructure and commitment through the competitive 
contract process have generated data for quality and program analyses 
and for projects on topics that have immediate programmatic impact. 
Health centers submit core data periodically extracted from existing 
information systems. These core data comprise patient, encounter, and 
practitioner level information including patient demographics, 
insurance status, clinical diagnoses and procedures, outcomes, and 
practitioner characteristics. Since all data obtained from the 
participant health centers are extracted/compiled from existing 
information systems and not through primary data collection, burden is 
minimized. In addition, each participant site receives technical 
assistance as needed to reduce burden and facilitate data submission.
    The annual burden estimate for this activity is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     Number of     Responses per       Total         Hours per     Total burden
