SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting 
information, please include the document identifier HHS-OS-0990-new-30D 
for reference. Information Collection Request Title: Title X 
Sustainability Assessment Tool for Grantees and Service Sites.
    Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs within the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Health seeks to collect data from the Title X 
centers on efforts related to (1) assisting individuals in obtaining 
health insurance; (2) partnerships with primary care providers; (3) 
availability and use of electronic health records; (4) monitoring 
patient care quality; (5) factors affecting revenue sources; and (6) 
the way that sites conduct analyses to consider the cost of providing 
services.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The Title X Family 
Planning Program (``Title X program'' or ``program'') is the only 
Federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with 
comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services 
(e.g., screening for breast and cervical cancer, sexually transmitted 
diseases (STDs), and human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]). By law, 
priority is given to persons from low-income families (Section 1006[c] 
of Title X of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300). The Office 
of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary for Health administers the Title X program.
    The American health care system is experiencing unprecedented 
levels of change as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable 
Care Act (ACA). The exact impact of these health system changes to 
Title X centers needs to be assessed in order to ensure the

[[Page 34684]]

long term sustainability of the Title X network.
    Data collected from this effort will be used to inform the work of 
the training centers so they can better support the Title X grantees. 
This data will help OPA better understand challenges affecting Title X 
centers in order to better work with HHS entities and national 
stakeholders to provide resources to Title X centers. Data will be 
collected through an online data collection tool directly from grantees 
and from Title X centers.
    Likely Respondents: This annual reporting requirement is service 
sites that receive funding (either directly from OPA or through a sub 
recipient or grantee agency) for family planning services authorized 
and funded by the Title X Family Planning Program [``Population 
Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs'' (91)], which was 
enacted in 1970 as Title X of the Public Health Service Act (Section 
1001 of Title X of the Public Health Service Act, 42 United States Code 
[U.S.C.] 300).
