Need and Proposed Use of the Information The Title X Family Planning Program (‘‘Title X program’’ or ‘‘program’’) is the PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 only Federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services (e.g., screening for breast and cervical cancer, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]). By law, priority is given to persons from low-income families (Section 1006[c] of Title X of the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300). The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health administers the Title X program. The American health care system is experiencing unprecedented levels of change as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The exact impact of these health system changes to Title X centers needs to be assessed in order to ensure the long term sustainability of the Title X network. This data collection is necessary to explain trends in client volume, insurance status of clients and revenue sources for Title X centers (data already collected through the Family Planning Annual Report—FPAR). This data will be collected directly from individual centers in order to provide contextual information and explain national trends in FPAR data. E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM 23JAN1 3594 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 2015 / Notices OPA will utilize these data in three main ways: First, OPA needs to prepare grantees and Title X centers to respond to changes in the health system. As more individuals obtain health insurance, OPA needs to understand how individual Title X centers may be affected. Second, OPA invests in national training centers that are charged with providing national training, resources and technical assistance to grantees. Data collected from this effort will be used to inform the work of the training centers so they can better support the Title X grantees. Third, this data will help OPA better understand challenges affecting Title X centers in order to better work with HHS entities and national stakeholders 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. Based on some pilot work, the total annual burden hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below. to provide resources to Title X centers. Data will be collected through an online data collection tool directly from grantees and from Title X centers. Likely Respondents: This annual reporting requirement is centers that receive funding (either directly from OPA or through a subrecipient or grantee agency) for family planning services authorized and funded by the Title X Family Planning Program [‘‘Population Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs’’ (Pub.

Information Collection Request Title: Title X Sustainability Assessment 
Tool For Grantees and Service Sites

    Abstract: The Office of Population Affairs within the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary for Health seeks to collect data from the Title X 
centers on efforts related to (1) assisting individuals in obtaining 
health insurance; (2) partnerships with primary care providers; (3) 
availability and use of electronic health records; (4) monitoring 
patient care quality; (5) factors affecting revenue sources; and (6) 
the way that sites conduct analyses to consider the cost of providing 
services.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information

    The Title X Family Planning Program (``Title X program'' or 
``program'') is the only Federal grant program dedicated solely to 
providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related 
preventive health services (e.g., screening for breast and cervical 
cancer, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and human 
immunodeficiency virus [HIV]). By law, priority is given to persons 
from low-income families (Section 1006[c] of Title X of the Public 
Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300). The Office of Population Affairs 
(OPA) within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health 
administers the Title X program.
    The American health care system is experiencing unprecedented 
levels of change as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable 
Care Act (ACA). The exact impact of these health system changes to 
Title X centers needs to be assessed in order to ensure the long term 
sustainability of the Title X network.
    This data collection is necessary to explain trends in client 
volume, insurance status of clients and revenue sources for Title X 
centers (data already collected through the Family Planning Annual 
Report--FPAR). This data will be collected directly from individual 
centers in order to provide contextual information and explain national 
trends in FPAR data.

[[Page 3594]]

    OPA will utilize these data in three main ways:
    First, OPA needs to prepare grantees and Title X centers to respond 
to changes in the health system. As more individuals obtain health 
insurance, OPA needs to understand how individual Title X centers may 
be affected. Second, OPA invests in national training centers that are 
charged with providing national training, resources and technical 
assistance to grantees. Data collected from this effort will be used to 
inform the work of the training centers so they can better support the 
Title X grantees. Third, this data will help OPA better understand 
challenges affecting Title X centers in order to better work with HHS 
entities and national stakeholders to provide resources to Title X 
centers. Data will be collected through an online data collection tool 
directly from grantees and from Title X centers.
    Likely Respondents: This annual reporting requirement is centers 
that receive funding (either directly from OPA or through a 
subrecipient or grantee agency) for family planning services authorized 
and funded by the Title X Family Planning Program [``Population 
Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs'' (Pub. L. 91-572)], 
which was enacted in 1970 as Title X of the Public Health Service Act 
(Section 1001 of Title X of the Public Health Service Act, 42 United 
States Code [U.S.C.] 300).
    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.
    Based on some pilot work, the total annual burden hours estimated 
for this ICR are summarized in the table below.

    OS specifically 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 to 
be collected, and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology to minimize the information 
collection burden.
