ACTION:
Notice.
Summary: In compliance with the
requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection
projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title
44, United States Code, as amended by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Pub. L. 104–13), the Health Resources
and Services Administration (HRSA)
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, email
paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA
Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443–

HRSA especially requests comments
on: (1) The necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the

Information Collection Request Title:
Bureau of Health Professions (BHPr)
Performance Data Collection (OMB No.
0915–0061)—Revision
Abstract: Over 40 BHPr programs
award grants to health professions
schools and training programs across
the United States to develop, expand,
and enhance training, and to strengthen
the distribution of the health workforce.
Many of these programs are governed by
the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
201 et seq.), specifically Titles III, VII,
and VIII. Performance information is
collected in the HRSA Performance
Report for Grants and Cooperative
Agreements (PRGCA). Data collection
activities at application, progress, and
annual performance satisfy statutory
and programmatic requirements for
performance measurement and
evaluation (including specific Title III,
VII, and VIII requirements), as well as
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) requirements. The
Affordable Care Act impacted a broad
range of health workforce programs
administered by BHPr. It reauthorized
many of these programs and, in some
cases, expanded eligibility, modified
program activities, and/or established
new requirements. The Affordable Care
Act also created new health professions
programs. Therefore, it was necessary to
reexamine BHPr’s existing performance
measures to ensure that they address
these changes, meet evolving program
management needs, and respond to
emerging workforce concerns.
The purpose of the proposed revised
data collection is to enhance analysis
and reporting of grantee training
activities and education, identify
intended practice locations, and report
outcomes of funded initiatives. Data
collected from these grant programs will

respondents
Form name
Number of
responses per
respondent
also provide a description of the
program activities of more than 1,600
reporting grantees to better inform
policymakers on the barriers,
opportunities, and outcomes involved
in health care workforce development.
The proposed measures focus on five
key outcomes: (1) Increasing the
workforce supply of diverse welleducated practitioners, (2) influencing
the distribution of practitioners to
practice in underserved and rural areas,
(3) enhancing the quality of education,
(4) diversifying the pipeline for new
health professionals, and (5) supporting
educational infrastructure to increase
the capacity to train more health
professionals.
Revisions to the current reporting will
require the collection of baseline data at
the grant application and award stages
and will include improved performance
reporting at three levels of
measurement: individual-level,
program-specific, and program clusterlevel.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
Analyzing Title V Programs in the
Context of the Affordable Care Act
(OMB No. 0915-xxxx)—[New]
Abstract: The Affordable Care Act
(ACA) will make affordable health
coverage available to all legal U.S.
residents, as well as guide
transformation in the delivery of
medicine and public health services.
For children, expanded coverage has
come about gradually over the past two
decades, and implementation of major
coverage provisions of the ACA in 2014
will result in some shifts in child health
coverage.
The Title V Maternal and Child
Health (MCH) Block Grant,
administered by the Health Resources
and Services Administration’s Maternal
and Child Health Bureau, provides a
foundation for ensuring the health of the
nation’s mothers, women, children, and
youth, including children and youth
Number of
respondents
Form name
Number of
responses per

with special health care needs, and their
families. Many ACA provisions, like
State Medicaid expansions and
mandatory health insurance, will
change the face of health insurance
demand and services provided. In
response, State Title V programs will
focus on increasing access, equality, and
health equity.
A proposed data collection form has
been developed to collect health care
services budget information from Title V
MCH Block Grant recipients to better
understand the types of direct services
currently provided by Title V MCH
programs. This form will request
information on medical services and
program support services in addition to
data on the individuals served.
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

(BHPr) Performance Data Collection (OMB No. 0915-0061)--Revision
Abstract: Over 40 BHPr programs award grants to health professions
schools and training programs across the United States to develop,
expand, and enhance training, and to strengthen the distribution of the
health workforce. Many of these programs are governed by the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.), specifically Titles III,
VII, and VIII. Performance information is collected in the HRSA
Performance Report for Grants and Cooperative Agreements (PRGCA). Data
collection activities at application, progress, and annual performance
satisfy statutory and programmatic requirements for performance
measurement and evaluation (including specific Title III, VII, and VIII

necessary to reexamine BHPr's existing performance measures to ensure
that they address these changes, meet evolving program management
needs, and respond to emerging workforce concerns.
The purpose of the proposed revised data collection is to enhance
analysis and reporting of grantee training activities and education,
identify intended practice locations, and report outcomes of funded
initiatives. Data collected from these grant programs will also provide
a description of the program activities of more than 1,600 reporting

proposed measures focus on five key outcomes: (1) Increasing the
workforce supply of diverse well-educated practitioners, (2)
influencing the distribution of practitioners to practice in
underserved and rural areas, (3) enhancing the quality of education,
(4) diversifying the pipeline for new health professionals, and (5)
supporting educational infrastructure to increase the capacity to train
more health professionals.
Revisions to the current reporting will require the collection of
baseline data at the grant application and award stages and will
include improved performance reporting at three levels of measurement:
individual-level, program-specific, and program cluster-level.
