These grants will work to: (a) expand
access to, coordinate, and improve the
quality of health care services; (b)
improve and expand the training of
health care providers; and (c) expand
and improve the quality of health
information available to health care

effectiveness of evidence based
practices with the use of telehealth for
patients, providers, and payers.
Need and Proposed Use of the

HRSA to capture awardee-level and
aggregate data that illustrate the impact
and scope of federal funding along with
assessing these efforts. The measures
cover the principal topic areas of
interest to HRSA including: (a)
population demographics, (b) access to
health care, (c) cost savings and costeffectiveness, and (d) clinical outcomes.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
will be award recipients of the Evidence
Based Telehealth Network Program and
Telehealth Network Grant Program.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
Health Center Program Forms; OMB No.
0915–0285—Revision.
Abstract: The Health Center Program,
administered by HRSA, is authorized
under section 330 of the Public Health
Service (PHS) Act, most recently
amended by section 50901(b) of the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, Public
Law 115–123. Health centers are
community-based and patient-directed
organizations that deliver affordable,
accessible, quality, and cost-effective
primary health care services to patients
regardless of their ability to pay. Nearly
1,400 health centers operate
approximately 12,000 service delivery
sites that provide primary health care to
more than 27 million people in every
U.S. state, the District of Columbia,
Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and
the Pacific Basin. HRSA utilizes forms
for new and existing health centers and
other entities to apply for various grant
and non-grant opportunities, renew
grant and non-grant designations, report
progress, and change their scopes of
project.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Health Center Programspecific forms are necessary for Health
Center Program award processes and
oversight. These forms provide HRSA
staff and objective review committee
panels with information essential for
application evaluation, funding
recommendation and approval,
designation, and monitoring. These
forms also provide HRSA staff with
information essential for evaluating
compliance with Health Center Program
legislative and regulatory requirements.
HRSA intends to make the following
changes to its forms:
• Modify the following forms to
streamline and clarify data currently
being collected: 1A, 1C, 2, 3, 3A, 4, 5A,
5C, 6A, 8, 12, Health Center Controlled
Networks (HCCN) Progress Report,
Program Specific Forms Instructions,
Project Narrative Update (Budget Period
Progress Report [BPR]), Project Work
Plan, and the Summary Page.
• Rename Substance Abuse Progress
Report to Health Center Program
Progress Report.
• Add the following forms necessary
for funding applications and program
monitoring: Capital Semi-Annual
Progress Report, HCCN Participating
Health Center List, Loan Guarantee
Application, Patient Target Question
Verification, Project Plan, and
Substance Use Disorder and Mental
Health Services (SUD–MH)
Supplemental Funding Progress Report.
• Remove the following forms to
further streamline information collected
by HRSA and reduce burden:
Alterations and Renovations Project
Cover Page, Form 9: Need for
Assistance, Form 10: Annual Emergency
Preparedness Report, HCCN Work Plan,
Outreach and Enrollment Supplemental,
and Zika Progress Report.
Likely Respondents: Health Center
Program award recipients (those funded
under section 330 of the PHS Act) and
Health Center Program look-alikes, state
and national technical assistance
organizations, and other organizations
seeking funding.
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

a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review

transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
