DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Health Resources and Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Two-Year Extension of 
an Existing Information Collection; Proposed Collection: Comment 
Request

    In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public 
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services 
Administration (HRSA) publishes 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 and draft instruments, e-mail [email protected] or 
call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443-1129.
    Comments are invited on: (a) The proposed collection of information 
for the proper performance of the functions of the agency; (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, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: Performance Report for Grants and Cooperative 
Agreements (OMB No. 0915-0061)--Revision

    The HRSA Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr) Performance Report for 
Grants and Cooperative Agreements is used to report grantee activities 
for Title VII and VIII health professions and nursing education and 
training programs. The reporting system measures the grantee's success 
in meeting (1) the objectives of the grant project, and (2) the cross-
cutting outcomes developed for the Bureau of Health Professions' Title 
VII and VIII health professions and nursing education and training 
programs. The reporting system has two parts: Part I of the performance 
report is designed to collect information on activities specific to a 
given program and Part II, the core performance measures, collects data 
on overall project performance related to the Bureau's strategic goals, 
objectives, outcomes, and indicators. Progress will be measured based 
on the objectives of the grant project, and outcome measures and 
indicators developed by the Bureau to meet requirements of the 
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA).
    The Bureau will be making minor changes to the previously approved 
information collection request. First, a couple of tables in Parts I 
and II have been simplified to eliminate collecting multiple race 
combinations for two or more races. And second, a new measure will be 
added to collect outcome data on the State Primary Care Offices (PCOs) 
program.
    The estimated annual burden is as follows:
