DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
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, e-mail
[email protected] or 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: Title: ``Health Care and Other Facilities''
Project Status Update Form (OMB No. 0915-0309)--[Extension] .
The Health Resources and Services Administration's Health Care and
Other Facilities (HCOF) program provides congressionally-directed funds
to health-related facilities for construction-related activities and/or
capital equipment purchases. Awarded facilities are required to provide
a periodic (quarterly for construction-related projects, annually for
equipment only projects) update of the status of the funded project
until it is completed. The monitoring period averages about 3 years,
although some projects take up to 5 years to complete. The information
collected from these updates is vital to program management staff to
determine whether projects are progressing according to the established
timeframes, meeting deadlines established in the Notice of Grant Award
(NGA), and drawing down funds appropriately. The
[[Page 47818]]
data collected from the updates is also shared with the Division of
Grants Management Operations (DGMO) for their assistance in the overall
evaluation of each project's progress.
An electronic form is currently being used for progress reporting
for the HCOF program. This form provides awardees access to directly
input the required status update information in a timely, consistent,
and uniform manner. The electronic form minimizes burden to respondents
and informs respondents when there are missing data elements prior to
submission. We acknowledge a change in the burden estimate due to close
out of old projects, and the addition of new projects for FY 2010.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Responses per Total Hours per Total Burden
Instrument respondents respondent responses response hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construction-Related............ 481 4 1,924 .5 962
Equipment Only.................. 1,238 1 1,238 .5 619
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total....................... 1,719 .............. 3,162 .............. 1,581
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
correspondence to the ``attention of the desk officer for HRSA.''
Dated: August 3, 2010.
Sahira Rafiullah,
Director, Division of Policy and Information Coordination.
