Comment Request

    In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2) 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) will publish periodic summaries of proposed 
projects being developed for submission to the Office of Management and 
Budget (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, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,

Proposed Project: Sentinel Centers Network Technical Assistance Needs 
Assessment (NEW)

    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 submit core 
data periodically that is extracted from existing information systems. 
In order to assess needs for technical assistance (TA), information 
will be requested from centers regarding current information systems, 
updates/changes to information systems, and other TA needs. This 
information will be collected periodically via a project Web site and 
will be used to manage the ongoing needs of network participants.
    The burden estimate for this project is as follows:
