Information Collection Request Title:
Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical
Education Payment Program
Application and Full-Time Equivalent
Resident Assessment Forms OMB No.
0915–0247 Revision.
Abstract: The Children’s Hospitals
Graduate Medical Education (CHGME)
Payment Program was enacted by Public
Law 106–129, and reauthorized by the
CHGME Support Reauthorization Act of
2013 (Pub. L. 113–98) to provide
Federal support for graduate medical
education (GME) to freestanding
children’s hospitals. The legislation
indicates that eligible children’s
hospitals will receive payments for both
direct and indirect medical education.
The CHGME Payment Program
application and full-time equivalent
(FTE) resident assessment forms
received OMB clearance on June 30,
2014.
The CHGME Support Reauthorization
Act of 2013 included a provision to
allow certain newly qualified children’s
hospitals to apply for CHGME Payment
Program funding. The CHGME Payment
Program application forms have been
revised to accommodate the new statute.
In addition, a payment question
included in the CHGME Payment
Program application forms has been
removed, since the participating
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
children’s hospitals are now required to
electronically communicate their
financial information to the Payment
Management System through the
Electronic Handbook.
The form changes are only applicable
to the HRSA 99–1 (also known as
Exhibit O (2)) and HRSA 99–5 forms.
All other hospital and auditor forms are
the same as currently approved. The
changes to the HRSA 99–1 and HRSA
99–5 forms require OMB approval and
are as follows:
1. HRSA 99–1: Add additional
description to Line 4.06 (both Page 2
and Page 2 Supplemental), 5.06 and
6.06. The current description is ‘‘FTE
adjusted cap.’’ The new description will
be ‘‘FTE adjusted cap or 2013 CHGME
Reauthorization cap due to Public Law
113–98.’’
2. HRSA 99–5: Remove Payment
Information question and check boxes,
applicable only to: (1) Hospitals which
have not previously participated in the
CHGME Payment Program, and (2)
hospitals in which financial institution
information has changed since
submission of its last application.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Data on the number of FTE
residents trained are collected from
children’s hospitals applying for
CHGME Payment Program funding.
These data are used to determine the
amount of direct and indirect medical
education payments to be distributed to
participating children’s hospitals.
Indirect medical education payments
are derived from a formula that requires
the reporting of discharges, beds, and
case mix index information from
participating children’s hospitals. As
required by statute, the FTE resident
assessment shall determine any changes
to the FTE resident counts initially
reported to the CHGME Payment
Program.
Likely Respondents: The likely
respondents include the estimated 60
children’s hospitals that apply and
receive CHGME Payment Program
funding, as well as the 30 auditors
contracted by HRSA to perform the FTE
resident assessments of the children’s
hospitals participating in the CHGME
Payment Program. Children’s hospitals
applying for CHGME Payment Program
funding are required by the CHGME
Payment Program statute to submit data
on the number of FTE residents trained
in an annual application. Once funded
by the CHGME Payment Program, these
same children’s hospitals are required to
submit audited data on the number of
FTE residents trained during the federal
fiscal year to participate in the
reconciliation payment process.
Contracted auditors are requested by
E:\FR\FM\09DEN1.SGM
09DEN1
89115
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 237 / Friday, December 9, 2016 / Notices
HRSA to submit assessed data on the
number of FTE residents trained by the
children’s hospitals participating in the
CHGME Payment Program in an FTE
resident assessment summary.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
