Information Collection Request Title:
Reconciliation Tool for the Teaching
Health Center Graduate Medical
Education Program.
OMB No.: 0915–0342—Extension.
Abstract: The Teaching Health Center
Graduate Medical Education (THCGME)
program, Section 340H of the Public
Health Service (PHS) Act, was
established by Section 5508 of Public
DATES:
Law 111–148. The program supports
training for primary care residents
(including residents in family medicine,
internal medicine, pediatrics, internal
medicine pediatrics, obstetrics and
gynecology, psychiatry, general
dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and
geriatrics) in community-based
ambulatory patient care settings.
The statute provides that eligible
Teaching Health Centers receive
payments for both direct and indirect
expenses associated with training
residents in community-based
ambulatory patient care centers. Direct
medical expenses payments are
designed to compensate eligible
teaching health centers for those
expenses directly associated with
resident training, while indirect medical
expenses payments are intended to
compensate for the additional expenses
of training residents in such programs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: THCGME payments are
prospective payments, and the statute
provides for a reconciliation process
through which overpayments may be
recouped and underpayments may be
adjusted at the end of the fiscal year.
This data collection instrument will
gather information relating to the
numbers of residents in THCGME
training programs in order to reconcile
payments for both direct and indirect
expenses.
Likely Respondents: The likely
responders to the THCGME
Reconciliation Tool are existing
THCGME awardees.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
Healthy Start Evaluation and Quality
Improvement OMB No. 0915–0338—
Revision.
Abstract: The National Healthy Start
Program, funded through the Health
Resources and Services
Administration’s (HRSA) Maternal and
Child Health Bureau (MCHB), has the
goal of reducing disparities in infant
mortality and adverse perinatal
outcomes. The program began as a
demonstration project with 15 grantees
in 1991 and has expanded over the past
two decades to 105 grantees serving 196
communities across 39 states. Healthy
Start grantees operate in communities
with rates of infant mortality at least 11⁄2
times the U.S. national average and high
rates for other adverse perinatal
outcomes. These communities are
geographically, racially, ethnically, and
linguistically diverse low-income areas.
Healthy Start covers services during the
perinatal period (before, during, after
pregnancy) and follows the woman and
infant through 2 years after the end of
the pregnancy. The next round of
funding represents a transformation of
the program framework from nine
service and systems core components to
five approaches. The five approaches
are as follows: (1) Improving women’s
health; (2) promoting quality services;
(3) strengthening family resilience; (4)
achieving collective impact; and (5)
increasing accountability through
quality improvement, performance
monitoring, and evaluation.
MCHB seeks to conduct a mixedmethods evaluation to assess the
effectiveness of the program on
individual, organizational, and
community-level outcomes. Data
collection instruments will include a
Women, Children, and Families
Information Form; Healthy Start Grantee
Web Survey; Community Action
Network (CAN) Web Survey; Healthy
Start Site Visit Protocol; and Healthy
Start Participant Focus Group Protocol.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the data
collection instruments will be to obtain
consistent information across all
grantees about Healthy Start and its
outcomes and in-depth information for
15 Healthy Start communities and 15
comparison communities to support a
rigorous evaluation design. The data
will be used to: (1) Provide credible and
rigorous evidence of program effect on
outcomes; (2) assess the relative
contribution of the five program
approaches to individual and
community-level outcomes; (3) meet
program needs for accountability,
programmatic decision-making, and
ongoing quality improvement; and (4)
strengthen the evidence-base, and
identify best and promising practices for
the program to support sustainability,
replication, and dissemination of the
program.
Likely Respondents: Respondents
include pregnant women and women of
reproductive age who are served by the
Healthy Start program for the Women,
Children, and Families Information
Form; project directors and staff for the
Healthy Start Grantee Web Survey;
representatives from partner
organizations for the Community Action
Network (CAN) Web Survey; program
staff, providers, and partners for the
Healthy Start Site Visit Protocol; and
program participants for the Healthy
Start Participant Focus Group Protocol.
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

information. The total annual burden
