Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of the Frontier Community
Health Care Network Coordination
Grant.
OMB No.: 0915–XXXX—New.
Abstract: In fiscal year (FY) 2012,
ORHP funded an evaluation of the
Frontier Community Health Care
Network Coordination (FCHCNC) Grant.
This 3-year grant program awarded to
the Montana Department of Public
Health and Human Services focuses on
a community-based, patient-centered
clinical service coordination and health
promotion model. The program will be
coordinated by clinically trained Care
Transitions Coordinators (CTC) working
with Community Health Workers (CHW)
in 11 participating network
communities. By developing
intervention with patients, the CTCs
and CHWs will work to improve care
transitions and patient outcomes by
reducing or eliminating avoidable
hospitalizations and re hospitalizations,
ER visits, and nursing home placements.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The program will be
subject to a 3-year independent
evaluation. As part of this 3-year
DATES:
PO 00000

evaluation, HRSA will be collecting
qualitative and quantitative information.
To support the qualitative analysis,
HRSA will conduct site visits and
telephonic key informant interviews
with the critical access hospitals,
tertiary hospitals, and the support staff
coordinating the program. Data
collection will focus on patient/family
satisfaction, whether goals were
achieved in working with patients, and
the strengths and challenges associated
with implementing the program.
Finally, HRSA will be collecting data
quarterly from the grantee sites in order
to gain a deeper understanding of the
program’s implementation.
Additionally, quantitative data will be
gathered by studying the effectiveness of
each intervention, specifically
identifying differences between pre and
post-intervention health care utilization,
hospital readmissions, and other clientspecific outcomes. Where data are
available, HRSA will assess cost
effectiveness of the program.
Likely Respondents: Frontier
Community Health Care Network
Coordination (FCHCNC) Grantees.
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
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.

Injury Compensation Program (the
Program), as required by Section
2112(b)(2) of the Public Health Service
(PHS) Act, as amended. While the
Secretary of Health and Human Services
is named as the respondent in all
proceedings brought by the filing of
petitions for compensation under the
Program, the United States Court of

Court of Federal Claims, 717 Madison
Place NW., Washington, DC 20005,

HRSA’s role in the Program, contact the
Director, National Vaccine Injury
Compensation Program, 5600 Fishers
Lane, Room 11C–26, Rockville, MD
20857; (301) 443–6593.
The
Program provides a system of no-fault
compensation for certain individuals
who have been injured by specified
childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of Title
XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa–
10 et seq., provides that those seeking
compensation are to file a petition with
the U.S. Court of Federal Claims and to
serve a copy of the petition on the
Secretary of Health and Human
Services, who is named as the
respondent in each proceeding. The
Secretary has delegated her
responsibility under the Program to
HRSA. The Court is directed by statute
to appoint special masters who take
evidence, conduct hearings as
appropriate, and make initial decisions
as to eligibility for, and amount of,
compensation.
A petition may be filed with respect
to injuries, disabilities, illnesses,
conditions, and deaths resulting from
vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury
Table (the Table) set forth at Section
2114 of the PHS Act or as set forth at
42 CFR 100.3, as applicable. This Table
lists for each covered childhood vaccine
the conditions which may lead to
compensation and, for each condition,
the time period for occurrence of the
first symptom or manifestation of onset
or of significant aggravation after
vaccine administration. Compensation
may also be awarded for conditions not
listed in the Table and for conditions
that are manifested outside the time
periods specified in the Table, but only
if the petitioner shows that the
condition was caused by one of the
listed vaccines.

Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42
U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that
‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary
receives service of any petition filed
under section 2111 the Secretary shall
publish notice of such petition in the
Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a
list of petitions received by HRSA on
July 1, 2013, through July 31, 2013. This
list provides the name of petitioner, city
and state of vaccination (if unknown
then city and state of person or attorney
filing claim), and case number. In cases
where the Court has redacted the name
of a petitioner and/or the case number,
the list reflects such redaction.
Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that
the special master ‘‘shall afford all
interested persons an opportunity to
submit relevant, written information’’
relating to the following:
1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that
there is not a preponderance of the
evidence that the illness, disability,
injury, condition, or death described in
the petition is due to factors unrelated
to the administration of the vaccine
described in the petition,’’ and
2. Any allegation in a petition that the
petitioner either:
(a) ‘‘Sustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition not set forth in the
Table but which was caused by’’ one of
the vaccines referred to in the Table, or
(b) ‘‘Sustained, or had significantly
aggravated, any illness, disability,
injury, or condition set forth in the
Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom
or manifestation of the onset or
significant aggravation of which did not
occur within the time period set forth in
the Table but which was caused by a
vaccine’’ referred to in the Table.
In accordance with Section
2112(b)(2), all interested persons may
submit written information relevant to
the issues described above in the case of
the petitions listed below. Any person
choosing to do so should file an original
