SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Bureau of Health Workforce
Performance Data Collection, OMB No.
0915–0061—Revision.
Abstract: Over 40 Bureau of Health
Workforce (BHW) programs award
grants to health professions schools and
training programs across the United
States to develop, expand, and enhance
training, and to strengthen the
distribution of the health workforce.
These programs are governed by the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 201
et seq.), specifically Titles III, VII, and
VIII. Performance information about

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices
these health professions programs is
collected in the HRSA Performance
Report for Grants and Cooperative
Agreements. Specific performance
measurement requirements for each
program may be found on the HRSA
website at https://bhw.hrsa.gov/grants/
reportonyourgrant. Data collection
activities consist of two reports—an
annual progress report and annual
performance report—that are submitted
by awardees to comply with statutory
and programmatic requirements for
performance measurement and
evaluation (including specific Title III,
VII and VIII requirements), as well as
the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) and the
GPRA Modernization Act of 2010
requirements. The performance
measures were last revised in 2016 to
ensure they addressed programmatic
changes, met evolving program
management needs, and responded to
emerging workforce concerns. As these
changes successfully enabled BHW to
demonstrate accurate outputs and
outcomes associated with the health
professions programs, BHW will
continue with its current performance
management strategy and make only
minor changes that reflect new HHS and
HRSA priorities with the addition of a
question asking awardees how many
trainees received training in telehealth,
substance use treatment, and/or
medication-assisted treatment.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the
proposed data collection is to continue
analysis and reporting of awardee
training activities and educational
programs, identify intended practice
locations and report outcomes of funded
initiatives. Data collected from these
grant programs will also provide a
description of the program activities of
approximately 1,500 reporting grantees
to inform policymakers on the barriers,
opportunities, and outcomes involved
in health care workforce development.
The proposed measures focus on five
key outcomes: (1) Increasing the
workforce supply of well-educated
practitioners in needed professions; (2)
increasing the number of practitioners
that practice in underserved and rural
areas; (3) enhancing the quality of
education; (4) increasing the
recruitment, training, and placement of
under-represented groups in the health
workforce; and (5) supporting
educational infrastructure to increase
the capacity to train more health
professionals in high demand areas.
Likely Respondents: Respondents are
awardees of BHW health professions
grant programs.
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 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 ICR are
summarized in the table below.
