Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection
Request: New collection (Request for a
new OMB control number); Title of
Information Collection: Quarterly
Medicaid and CHIP Budget and
Expenditure Reporting for the Medical
Assistance Program, Administration and
CHIP; Use: At the request of OMB, this
action would consolidate form CMS–21
and –21B (OMB control number: 0938–
0731), –37 (OMB control number: 0938–
0101), and –64 (OMB control number:
0938–0067) into one new information
collection request. This action also
revises CMS–37 and –67 while CMS–21
and –21B remain unchanged.
Form CMS–21 and –21B provide CMS
with the information necessary to issue
quarterly grant awards, monitor current
year expenditure levels, determine the
allowability of state claims for
reimbursement, develop Children’s
Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
financial management information,
provide for state reporting of waiver
expenditures, and ensure that the
federally established allotment is not
exceeded. They are also necessary in the
redistribution and reallocation of
unspent funds over the federally
mandated timeframes.
Form CMS–37 due dates are
November 15, February 15, May 15 and
August 15 of each fiscal year. While all
submissions represent equally
important components of the grant
award cycle, the May and November
submissions are particularly significant
for budget formulation. The November
submission introduces a new fiscal year
to the budget cycle and serves as the
basis for the formulation of the
Medicaid portion of the President’s
Budget, which is presented to Congress
in January. The February and August
submissions are used primarily for
budget execution in providing interim
updates to our Office of Financial
Management, the Department of Health
and Human Services, the Office of
Management and Budget and Congress
depending on the scheduling of the
national budget review process in a
given fiscal year. The submissions
provide us with base information
necessary to track current year
obligations and expenditures in relation
to the current year appropriation and to
notify senior managers of any
impending surpluses or deficits.

Information Collection Request Title:
Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC)
Uniform Data System (UDS).
OMB No. 0915–0193—Revision.
Abstract: The Uniform Data System
(UDS) is the Bureau of Primary Health
Care’s (BPHC’s) annual reporting system
for HRSA-supported health centers. The
UDS includes reporting requirements
for Health Center Program look-alikes
and grantees of the following programs:
the Community Health Center program,
the Migrant Health Center program, the
Health Care for the Homeless program,
and the Public Housing Primary Care
program.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: HRSA collects UDS data
which are used to ensure compliance
with legislative and regulatory
requirements, improve health center
performance and operations, and report
overall program accomplishments. The
data help to identify trends over time,
enabling HRSA to establish or expand
targeted programs and identify effective
services and interventions to improve
the health of underserved communities
and vulnerable populations. UDS data
are compared with national healthrelated data, including the National
Health Interview Survey and National
Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey, to review differences between
the health center patient populations
and the U.S. population at large and
those individuals and families who rely
on the health care safety net for primary
care. UDS data also inform Health
Center programs, partners, and
communities about the patients served
by Health Centers. To meet these
objectives, BPHC requires a core set of
data collected annually. The UDS data
collection for 2015 will be revised in
two ways. A new line will be added to
identify patients that are dually eligible
for Medicare and Medicaid, and the
existing diabetes clinical measure will
be streamlined to align with the Healthy
People 2020 national benchmark.
Specifically, health centers will no
longer report three categories,
Hemoglobin A1c (Hba1c) less than 8

46444

percent; Hba1c greater than or equal to
8 percent and less than or equal to 9
percent; and Hba1c greater than 9
percent. Health centers will report one
category, Hba1c greater than 9 percent.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
will be HRSA BPHC Health Center
Program grantees and look-alikes.
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

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 to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques

Purpose: The Discretionary Advisory

heritable disorders. In addition, the
Committee’s recommendations
regarding additional conditions/
inherited disorders for screening that
have been adopted by the Secretary are
included in the Recommended Uniform
Screening Panel and constitute part of
the comprehensive guidelines
supported by the Health Resources and
Services Administration. Pursuant to
section 2713 of the Public Health
Service Act, codified at 42 U.S.C.
300gg–13, non-grandfathered health
