Information Collection Request Title:
The Teaching Health Center Graduate
Medical Education (THCGME) Program
Eligible Resident/Fellow FTE Chart
OMB No. 0915–0367 ¥ Extension
Abstract: THCGME Program, Section
340H of the Public Health Service Act,
was established by Section 5508 of
Public Law 111–148. The Bipartisan
Budget Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115–123)
provided continued funding for the
THCGME Program. THCGME Program
awards payment for both direct and
indirect expenses to support training for
primary care residents in communitybased ambulatory patient care settings.
THCGME Program Eligible Resident/
Fellow Full-Time Equivalents (FTE)
Chart, published in the THCGME Notice
of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), is a
means for determining the number of
eligible resident/fellow FTE’s in an
applicant’s primary care residency
program.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on June 19, 2019, vol.
84, No. 118; pp. 28559—60. There were
no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: THCGME Program Eligible
Resident/Fellow FTE Chart requires
applicants to provide: (a) Data related to
the size and/or growth of the residency
program over previous academic years,
(b) the number of residents enrolled in
the program during the baseline
academic year, and (c) a projection of
the program’s proposed expansion over
the next five academic years. It is
imperative that applicants complete this
chart to quantify the total supported
residents. THCGME funding is used to
support an expanded number of
residents in a residency program, to
establish a new residency training
program, or to maintain filled positions
at existing programs. Utilization of a
chart to gather this important
information has decreased the number
of errors in the eligibility review process
resulting in a more accurate review and
funding process, and comports with the
regulatory requirement imposed by 45
CFR 75.206(a) ‘‘Standard application
requirements, including forms for
applying for HHS financial assistance,
and state plans.’’
Likely Respondents: Teaching Health
Centers applying for THCGME funding
through a THCGME NOFO process,
which may include new applicants and
existing awardees.
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. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.
