SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Information Collection Request Title: Children’s Hospital Graduate Medical Education Payment Program (CHGME PP) Annual Report; OMB No. 0915– 0313—Extension. SUMMARY: Abstract: The CHGME Payment Program was enacted by Public Law 106–129 to provide federal support for graduate medical education (GME) to freestanding children’s hospitals, similar to Medicare GME support received by other, non-children’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 relating to teaching residents in such programs. The CHGME Payment Program statute Public Law 109–307 requires that CHGME-participating hospitals provide information about their residency training programs in an annual report to HRSA that will be an addendum to the hospitals’ annual applications for funds. Data are required to be collected on the: (1) Types of training programs that the hospital provided for residents such as general pediatrics, internal medicine/ pediatrics, and pediatric subspecialties including both medical subspecialties certified and non-medical subspecialties; (2) the number of training positions for residents, the number of such positions recruited to fill, and the number of positions filled; (3) the types of training that the hospital provided for residents related to the health care needs of different populations such as children who are underserved for reasons of family income or geographic location, including rural and urban areas; (4) changes in residency training including changes in curricula, training experiences, and types of training programs, and benefits that have resulted from such changes and changes for purposes of training residents in the measurement and improvement of the quality and safety of patient care; (5) and the numbers of residents (disaggregated by specialty and subspecialty) who completed training in the academic year and care for children within the borders of the service area of the hospital or within the borders of the state in which the hospital is located. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The CHGME Payment Program statute Public Law 109–307 requires that CHGME-participating hospitals continue to provide information about their residency training programs in an annual report to HRSA that must address statutory reporting requirements including types of training, number of training positions, types of training to care for underserved children, changes in residency training, and practice location of graduates. Likely Respondents: CHGME Payment Program participating children’s hospitals. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: Children's Hospital Graduate 
Medical Education Payment Program (CHGME PP) Annual Report; OMB No.

    Abstract: The CHGME Payment Program was enacted by Public Law 106-
129 to provide federal support for graduate medical education (GME) to 
freestanding children's hospitals, similar to Medicare GME support 
received by other, non-children'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 relating to teaching 
residents in such programs.
    The CHGME Payment Program statute Public Law 109-307 requires that 
CHGME-participating hospitals provide information about their residency 
training programs in an annual report to HRSA that will be an addendum 
to the hospitals' annual applications for funds.
    Data are required to be collected on the: (1) Types of training 
programs that the hospital provided for residents such as general 
pediatrics, internal medicine/pediatrics, and pediatric subspecialties 
including both medical subspecialties certified and non-medical 
subspecialties; (2) the number of training positions for residents, the 
number of such positions recruited to fill, and the number of positions 
filled; (3) the types of training that the hospital provided for 
residents related to the health care needs of different populations 
such as children who are underserved for reasons of family income or 
geographic location, including rural and urban areas; (4) changes in 
residency training including changes in curricula, training 
experiences, and types of training programs, and benefits that have 
resulted from such changes and changes for purposes of training 
residents in the measurement and improvement of the quality and safety 
of patient care; (5) and the numbers of residents (disaggregated by 
specialty and subspecialty) who completed training in the academic year 
and care for children within the borders of the service area of the 
hospital or within the borders of the state in which the hospital is 
located.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The CHGME Payment Program 
statute Public Law 109-307 requires that CHGME-participating hospitals 
continue to provide information about their residency training programs 
in an annual report to HRSA that must address statutory reporting 
requirements including types of training, number of training positions, 
types of training to care for underserved children, changes in 
residency training, and practice location of graduates.
    Likely Respondents: CHGME Payment Program participating children's 
hospitals.
    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
