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

collection plans and draft instruments, e-mail [email protected] or

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,

Proposed Project: Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank for
Final Adverse Information on Health Care Providers, Suppliers and
Practitioners (45 CFR 61) (OMB No. 0915-0239)--[Extension]
This is a request for extension of OMB approval of the information
collections contained in regulations found in 45 CFR part 61 governing
the Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) and the forms
to be used in reporting information to and requesting information from
the HIPDB cleared under OMB No. 0915-0239. The HIPDB is authorized by
section 1128E of the Social Security Act (hereinafter referred to as
section 1128E), as added by section 221(a) of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Section 1128E directs the
Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) to establish a
national health care fraud and abuse data collection program for the
reporting and disclosing of certain final adverse actions (excluding
settlements in which no findings of liability have been made) taken
against health care providers, suppliers, or practitioners. It also
directs the Secretary to maintain a database of final adverse actions
taken against health care providers, suppliers, or practitioners. The
regulations implementing section 1128E governing the operation of the
HIPDB are codified at 45 CFR part 61. The HIPDB became operational
November 22, 1999.
Approval is requested to continue the following reporting data
collection and disclosure requirements and the ensuing HIPDB forms
along with the instructions. The recordkeeping, reporting, and
disclosure requirements are specified in the regulations to implement
the HIPDB. The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
