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
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.

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. 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).

(1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s

are supplementing the usual manual
and electronic database searches of the
literature by requesting information
from the public (e.g., details of studies
conducted). We are looking for studies
that report on ‘‘Noninvasive Testing for
Coronary Artery Disease’’, including
those that describe adverse events. The
entire research protocol, including the
key questions, is also available online
