Chapter 35). To request a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, 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 The HRSA Uniform Progress Report (UPR) is used for the preparation and submission of continuation applications for Title VII and VIII health professions and nursing education and training programs. The UPR measures grantee success in meeting (1) the objectives of the grant project, and (2) the crosscutting outcomes developed for the Bureau of Health Professions’ education and training programs. Part I of the progress report is designed to collect information to determine whether sufficient progress has been made on the approved project objectives, as grantees must demonstrate satisfactory progress to warrant continuation of funding. Part II collects information on activities specific to a given program. Part III, the Comprehensive Performance Management System (CPMS), collects data on overall project performance related to the Bureau’s strategic goals, objectives, outcomes, and indicators. Progress will be measured based on the Number of respondents Report Responses per respondent objectives of the grant project, and outcome measures and indicators developed by the Bureau to meet requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The Bureau has simplified several tables in UPR II and added the ability for grantees to provide better race and ethnicity data. In addition, to respond to the requirements of GPRA, the Bureau has revised its cross-cutting goals, expected outcomes, and indicators in UPR III CPMS that provide the framework for collection of outcome data for its Title VII and VIII programs. An outcome-based performance system is critical for measuring whether program support is meeting national health workforce objectives. At the core of the performance measurement system are found cross-cutting goals with respect to workforce quality, supply, diversity, and distribution of the health professions workforce. The estimated annual burden is as follows: Total responses Hours per response Total burden hours Uniform Progress Report ..................................................... 1,500 1 1,500 7 10,500 Total .............................................................................. 1,500 ........................ 1,500 ........................ 10,500 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 OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202–395–6974.
