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: Health Center Controlled Networks Progress Reports
(OMB No. 0915-0315)--Revision
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) collects
network outcome measures, conducts evaluation of those measures, and
has an electronic reporting system for the following types of grantees:
Health Information Technology Planning Grants, Electronic Health Record
Implementation (including High Impact Electronic Health Records
Implementation) for Health Center Controlled Networks, and Health
Information Technology Innovations for Health Center Controlled
Networks. In order to help carry out its mission, HRSA created a set of
performance measures that grantees use to evaluate the effectiveness of
their service programs and monitor their progress through the use of
performance reporting data.
Grantees report to HRSA on their grants to accomplish the following
goals: Increase access to needed data and services; improve quality,
efficiency and effectiveness of network services; and enhance ability
to track and monitor patient outcomes. Grantees submit their progress
reports in a mid-
[[Page 1441]]
year report and an accumulative annual progress report each fiscal year
of the grant. The increase in burden since 2007 is due to an increase
in the number of grantees (46 to 89) and an increase in the hours per
response. The increase in the hours per response is due to a re-
estimation of burden for grantees.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.''
