Download as PDF 52814 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 14, 2009 / Notices publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget (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, e-mail paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443– 1129. Comments are invited on: (a) The proposed collection of information for the proper performance of the functions of the agency; (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: Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Payment Program (CHGME PP) (OMB No. 0915– 0247)—Extension The CHGME PP was enacted by Public Law 106–129 and reauthorized by Public Law 109–307 to provide Federal support for graduate medical education (GME) to freestanding children’s hospitals. This legislation attempts to provide support for GME comparable to the level of Medicare GME support received by other, nonchildren’s hospitals. The legislation indicates that eligible children’s hospitals will receive payments for both direct and indirect medical education. Direct payments are designed to offset the expenses associated with operating approved graduate medical residency training programs and indirect payments are designed to compensate hospitals for expenses associated with the treatment of more severely ill patients and the additional costs Number of respondents Form HRSA HRSA HRSA HRSA HRSA HRSA HRSA HRSA HRSA 99–1 99–1 99–2 99–2 99–3 99–3 99–4 99–5 99–5 Responses per respondent relating to teaching residents in such programs. Data are collected on the number of full-time equivalent residents in applicant children’s hospitals’ training programs to determine the amount of direct and indirect medical education payments to be distributed to participating children’s hospitals. Indirect medical education payments will also be derived from a formula that requires the reporting of discharges, beds, and case mix index information from participating children’s hospitals. Hospitals will be requested to submit such information in an annual application. Hospitals will also be requested to submit data on the number of full-time equivalent residents a second time during the Federal fiscal year to participate in the reconciliation payment process. The estimated annual burden is as follows: Total number of responses Hours per response Total burden hours (Initial Application) ...........................................
