Proposed Project: Reporting Form for the MCHB National Hemophilia 
Program Grantees and Hemophilia Treatment Center (HTC) Affiliates 
Having Factor Replacement Product (FRP) Programs--NEW

    The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) of the Health Resources 
and Services Administration (HRSA) is planning to implement an annual 
reporting form required of grantees of the MCHB National Hemophilia 
Program and their HTC affiliates having a factor replacement product 
(FRP) program. The purpose of the form is to provide systematic 
information and data comprising a financial overview of the FRP 
programs of the HTCs receiving funding through grantees of the MCHB 
National Hemophilia Program. The proposed form will constitute a 
reporting requirement for the MCHB National Hemophilia Program grantees 
and their affiliate HTCs having FRP programs.
    Data from the form will provide quantitative information on the 
financial and services provision aspects of each of the HTC FRP 
programs under each of the MCHB National Hemophilia Program grantees, 
specifically: (a) Patient FRP program participation, (b) FRP program 
revenue, (c) FRP program costs, (d) FRP program net income, and (e) use 
of FRP program net income. This form will provide data useful to 
grantees and their affiliate HTCs having FRP programs. Useful data will 
also be provided to the MCHB National Hemophilia Program in order to 
assess FRP program performance including FRP program operational costs 
appropriateness, FRP program cost efficiency, and FRP program services 
benefits-information that is essential to evaluating HTCs having FRP 
programs, grantees, and the MCHB National Hemophilia Program.
    Each HTC having an FRP program is to submit its report to the 
grantee and each grantee is to submit the individual reports of each of 
their affiliate HTCs having an FRP program to the MCHB National 
Hemophilia Program as a part of their annual grant application.
    The burden estimate for this project is as follows:
