progress of the grantees. Grantee goals
are to: Improve access to needed
services, reduce rural practitioner
isolation, improve health system
productivity and efficiency, and
improve patient outcomes. In each of
these categories, specific indicators
were designed to be reported through a
performance monitoring Web site.
The Program Assessment Response
Tool (PART) is the newest instrument
created for use by Federal agencies. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) uses the PART to assess Federal
programs. The PART is a series of
diagnostic questions used to assess and
evaluate programs across a set of
performance-related criteria including
program design and purpose, strategic
planning, program management, and
results. PART results are used to inform
the budget process and improve
program management. OAT’s Telehealth
Network Grant Program has been
undergoing a PART assessment this
year. Thus, in addition to responding to
the GPRA initiative, OAT now has the
added responsibility of responding to
the PART assessment of its Telehealth
Network Grant Program. The proposed
performance measures will provide
performance data that will address the
PART assessment, monitor progress,
and evaluate program effectiveness.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement
for opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), the Health
Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes periodic summaries
of proposed projects being developed
for submission to OMB under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To
request more information on the
proposed project or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and draft
instruments, call the HRSA Reports
Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Proposed Project: Data System for
Organ Procurement and
Transplantation Network (42 CFR Part
121, OMB No. 0915–0184): Extension
The operation of the Organ
Procurement and Transplantation
Network (OPTN) necessitates certain
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements in order to perform the
functions related to organ
transplantation under contract to HHS.
This is a request for an extension of the
current recordkeeping and reporting
requirements associated with the OPTN.
These data will be used by HRSA in
monitoring the contracts for the OPTN
and the Scientific Registry of Transplant
Recipients (SRTR) and in carrying out
other statutory responsibilities.
Information is needed to match donor
organs with recipients, to monitor
compliance of member organizations
with OPTN rules and requirements, to
ensure that all qualified entities are
accepted for membership in the OPTN,
and to ensure patient safety.

OMB requires review and approval of
record keeping and reporting
requirements associated with the final
rule governing the operation of the
OPTN (42 CFR part 121) related to
Secretarial review and appeals. There
are record keeping and reporting
requirements associated with the
process for filing appeals in the case
where applicants are rejected for
membership or designation in the
OPTN. To date, no appeals have been
filed. The burden requirements for this
process are minimal. The estimate of
burden for this process consists of
preparing a letter requesting
reconsideration and compiling
supporting documentation.
