integrated into the existing HRSA
Electronic Handbooks (EHBs)
Performance Report module in fiscal
year 2009. The online NFLP–AOR form
will be modified to collect additional
data from applicants that will include
information on the total number of
enrollees, graduates, and graduates
employed as nurse faculty by: (1) Age
and Gender, (2) Nursing Programs, and
(3) Nursing Degrees. Under Title VIII,
section 846A of the Public Health
Service Act, as amended by Public Law
111–148, the Secretary of Health and
Human Services (HHS) enters into an
agreement with a school of nursing and
makes an award to the school. The
award is used to establish a distinct
account for the NFLP loan fund at the
school. The school of nursing makes
loans from the NFLP fund to students
enrolled full-time or part-time in a
master’s or doctoral nursing education
program that will prepare them to
become qualified nursing faculty.
Following graduation from the NFLP
lending school, loan recipients may
receive up to 85 percent NFLP loan
cancellation over a consecutive fouryear period in exchange for service as
full-time faculty at a school of nursing.
The NFLP lending school collects any
portion of the loan that is not cancelled
and any loans that go into repayment
and deposits these monies into the
NFLP loan fund to make additional
NFLP loans.
The school of nursing must keep
records of all NFLP loan fund
transactions. The NFLP–AOR is used to
monitor grantee performance by
collection of information relating to the
NFLP loan fund operations and
financial activities for a specified

Federal Government with current and
cumulative information on: (1) The
number and amount of loans made, (2)
the number of NFLP loan recipients and
NFLP graduates, (3) the number and

Proposed Project
The National Hospital Care Survey
(NHCS)—New—National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Section 306 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 242k), as
amended, authorizes that the Secretary
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703

of Health and Human Services (DHHS),
acting through NCHS, shall collect
statistics on the extent and nature of
illness and disability of the population
of the United States. This three-year
clearance request includes data
collection from hospital inpatient
departments; hospital ambulatory
departments including emergency
departments (ED), outpatient
departments (OPD), and ambulatory
surgery centers (ASC); and freestanding
ASCs of the new National Hospital Care
Survey.
The National Center for Health
Statistics’ (NCHS) surveys on hospital
care include the National Hospital
Discharge Survey (NHDS) (OMB
No.0920–0212) and the National
Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care
Survey (NHAMCS) (OMB No. 0920–
0234). NHDS has, since 1965, provided
critical information on the utilization of
the nation’s non-Federal short-stay
hospitals and on the nature and
treatment of illness among the inpatient
hospitalized population. NHAMCS has
provided data annually since 1992
concerning the nation’s use of hospital
emergency and outpatient departments,
and since 2009 and 2010, on hospital
based and free-standing ambulatory
surgery centers, respectively. These data
have been extensively used for
monitoring changes and analyzing the
types of care provided in the nation’s
hospitals. NCHS is planning to integrate
E:\FR\FM\24NON1.SGM
24NON1
71709
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 226 / Wednesday, November 24, 2010 / Notices
the data collected from these two
hospital surveys and freestanding ASCs
into one survey, called the National
Hospital Care Survey (NHCS). This
integration will increase the wealth and
depth of data on health care utilization
and allow for linkages to other data
sources such as the National Death
Index and data from Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
A new sample of 500 hospitals drawn
for the NHCS will be recruited. Annual
data collection will begin by collecting
the electronic Uniform Bills (UB–04s)
on inpatients, along with facility level
data, from recruited hospitals for the
year 2011 onward. A pretest of a survey
supplement on acute coronary
syndrome sponsored by the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute will
also be fielded in 2011. Then, starting in
2013, the sampled hospitals will be
asked to provide data on the utilization
of health care provided in their
emergency and outpatient departments
(ED and OPD) and ambulatory surgery
centers (ASCs), thus integrating the
NHDS and NHAMCS into NHCS. A new
sample for freestanding ASCs will also
be recruited in 2013. NHCS will replace
diagnosis of acute myocardial
infarction.
Users of the former NHDS and
NHAMCS data include, but are not
limited to CDC, Congressional Research
Office, Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE),
American Health Care Association,
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS), Bureau of the Census,
state and local governments, and
nonprofit organizations. Data collected
through NHDS and NHAMCS are
essential for evaluating health status of
the population, for the planning of
programs and policy to elevate the
health status of the Nation, for studying
morbidity trends, and for research
activities in the health field. NHDS and
NHAMCS data have been used
extensively in the development and
monitoring of goals for the Year 2000
and 2010 Healthy People Objectives.
Other users of these data include
universities, research organizations,
many in the private sector, foundations,
and a variety of users in the print media.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time to participate.
NHDS and NHAMCS but continue to
provide nationally representative data
on utilization of hospital care and
general purpose health-care statistics on
inpatient care as well as care delivered
in EDs, OPDs, and ASCs.
Patient level, discharge/visit level,
and facility level data items will be
collected from the recruited hospitals
and freestanding ASCs in the NHCS.
Patient level data items will include
basic demographic information,
personal identifiers, name, address,
social security number (if available),
and medical record number (if
available). Discharge/visit level data
will include admission and discharge
dates, reason(s) for visit, diagnoses,
diagnostic services, surgical and nonsurgical procedures, medications, and
disposition. Facility level data items
will include demographic information,
clinical capabilities, and financial
information.
The pretest of the supplement on
acute coronary syndrome will be
conducted in a convenience sample of
32 hospitals and discharges will be
identified from the UB–04 codes for a

Comment Request
Title: OCSE–396A: Child Support
Enforcement Program Expenditure
Report; OCSE–34A: Child Support
Enforcement Program Collection Report.
OMB No.: 0970–0181.
Description: State and Tribal agencies
administering the Child Support
Enforcement Program under Title IV–D
of the Social Security Act are required
to provide information each fiscal
quarter to the Office of Child Support
Enforcement (OCSE) concerning
administrative expenditures and the
receipt and disposition of child support
payments from non-custodial parents.
State title IV–D agencies report quarterly
expenditures and collections using
Forms OCSE–396A and OCSE–34A,
respectively. Tribal title IV–D agencies
report quarterly expenditures using
Form SF–269, as prescribed in program
regulations, and formerly reported
quarterly collections using only a
modified version of Form OCSE–34A.
The information collected on these
reporting forms is used to compute
quarterly grant awards to States and
Tribes, the annual incentive payments
to States and provides valuable
information on program finances. This
information is also included in a
published annual statistical and
financial report, available to the general
public.
In response to an earlier Federal
Register Notice (75 FR 10805, March 9,
2010), this agency received insufficient
comments to support any substantial
changes to these forms at this time.
However, we continue to discuss
improvements to these reporting forms
with State and Tribal grantees and
anticipate some minor revisions will be
proposed in the near future. These
revisions will be limited to any changes
that may be necessitated by the
expiration of program requirements
under the ‘‘American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009’’ (ARRA) and
changes to reporting instructions that
will allow Tribal grantees to, at least,
use the same quarterly collection report
submitted by State grantees.

Enforcement Program.
