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: Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) Uniform Data 
System (OMB No. 0915-0193) Revision

    The Uniform Data System (UDS) contains the annual reporting 
requirements for the cluster of primary care grantees funded by the 
HRSA. The UDS includes reporting requirements for grantees of the 
following primary care programs: Community Health Centers, Migrant 
Health Centers, Health Care for the Homeless, Public Housing Primary 
Care, and other grantees under section 330. The authorizing statute is 
section 330 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended.
    HRSA collects data in the UDS which is used 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 data collected annually that is appropriate for monitoring 
and evaluating performance and reporting on annual trends.
    The 2008 calendar year UDS will be revised in several ways. Certain 
UDS tables are being proposed for elimination or modification to 
streamline data collection and reporting. A limited number of clinical 
measures will be added for reporting quality of care, health outcomes, 
and disparities data. In addition, the tool used to report calendar 
year UDS data will be changed to a Web based tool.
    Estimates of annualized reporting burden are as follows:

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

    Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to 
the desk officer for HRSA, either by e-mail to: [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974. Please direct all
