• Four Site Visit Discussion Guides.
To systematically document the
approaches and strategies used by the
first two cohorts of CWCC grantees
(FY18 and FY19 awardees), the
evaluation team will conduct initial and
follow-up interviews with: (1) Project
Directors from Lead Grantee
organizations and Leaders from partner
organizations, and (2) staff from the lead
and partner organizations. These
interviews will take place during site
visits. Each grantee will participate in
four site visits.
• Survey Invitee Template: The
evaluation team will ask the Project
Director of each CWCC grant to fill out
a Survey Invitee Template to gather
contact information for leaders and staff
from lead and partner organizations
who the evaluation team will invite to
complete the Collaboration Survey (see
below).
• Collaboration Survey: This
electronic survey will document
perceptions that leaders and staff from
the CWCC lead and partner
organizations have regarding their
organizational/group processes,
implementation activities, and progress
towards goals. This survey will be
administered to staff at all grantee and
partner organizations on an annual basis
during each cohort’s grant period.
• Site Visit Planning Template: Each
Project Director (or their designee) will
complete a Site Visit Planning Template
to schedule site visit activities prior to
each annual site visit.
Respondents: Leadership and staff
from CWCC lead (grantee) organizations
and from partner organizations.

Information Collection Request Title:
Nurse Corps Scholarship Program
(NCSP) OMB No. 0915–0301—Revision
Abstract: The NCSP, administered by
the Bureau of Health Workforce in
HRSA, provides scholarships to nursing
students in exchange for a minimum
ADDRESSES:
two-year full-time service commitment
(or part-time equivalent) at an eligible
health care facility with a critical
shortage of nurses (i.e., Critical Shortage
Facility (CSF)). The scholarship consists
of payment of tuition, fees, other
reasonable educational costs, and a
monthly support stipend. Program
recipients are required to fulfill NCSP
service commitments at CSFs located in
the 50 States, the District of Columbia,
Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa,
the Federated States of Micronesia, the
Republic of the Marshall Islands, and
the Republic of Palau.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The NCSP collects data to
determine an applicant’s eligibility for
the program, monitor a participant’s
continued enrollment in a school of
nursing, monitor the participant’s
compliance with the NCSP service
obligation, and prepare annual reports
to Congress. Generally, the following
information will be collected (1) from
the schools of nursing, on a quarterly
basis—general applicant and nursing
school data such as full name, location,
tuition/fees, and enrollment status; (2)
from the schools of nursing, on an
annual basis—data concerning tuition/
fees and overall student enrollment
status; and (3) from the participants and
their employing CSF, on a biannual
basis—data concerning the participant’s
employment status, work schedule and
leave usage.
The Employment Verification Form
has been updated to include two
questions about participants who work
at multiple sites. The In-Service
Verification form has been updated to
include questions on telehealth and
mental health services provided by
NCSP participants. Additionally, the
application will include a question
about participation in other federal
pipeline programs.
Likely Respondents: NCSP
participants, educational institutions,
and critical shortage facilities.
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

Information Collection Request Title:
Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical
Education Payment Program
OMB No. 0915–0247 Revision
Abstract: In 1999, the Children’s
Hospitals Graduate Medical Education
(CHGME) Payment Program was
established by section 4 of the
Healthcare Research and Quality Act of
1999 (Pub. L. 106–129) and most
recently amended by the Dr. Benjy
Frances Brooks Children’s Hospital
GME Support Reauthorization Act of
2018 (Pub. L. 115–241). The purpose of
this program is to fund freestanding
children’s hospitals to support the
training of pediatric and other residents
in GME programs. The legislation
indicates that eligible children’s
hospitals will receive payments for both
direct and indirect medical education.
Direct payments are designed to offset
the expenses associated with operating
approved graduate medical residency
training programs and indirect
payments are designed to compensate
hospitals for expenses associated with
the treatment of more severely ill
patients and the additional costs
relating to teaching residents in such
programs.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on July 11, 2019, vol.
84, No. 133; pp. 33079–80. There were
no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Data are collected on the
number of full-time equivalent (FTE)
residents in applicant children’s
hospitals’ training programs to
determine the amount of direct and
indirect medical education payments to
be distributed to participating children’s
hospitals. Indirect medical education
payments will be derived from a
formula that requires the reporting of
discharges, beds, and case mix index
information from participating
children’s hospitals.
Hospitals will also be requested to
submit data on the number of resident
FTEs trained during the federal fiscal
year to participate in the reconciliation
payment process. Auditors will be
requested to submit data on the number
of resident FTEs trained by the hospitals
in a resident FTE assessment summary.
An assessment of the hospital data
ensures that appropriate Medicare
regulations and CHGME Payment
Program guidelines are followed in
determining which residents are eligible
to be claimed for funding. The audit
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
results impact final payments made by
the CHGME Payment Program to all
eligible children’s hospitals.
The previously approved information
collection included 25 separate forms.
Based on feedback from current CHGME
Payment Program grantees and a current
CHGME resident FTE assessment
contractor, this request now includes 30
separate forms. Previously these five
additional forms were combined.
Specifically:
• HRSA 99–2 is now HRSA 99–2
(Initial) and HRSA 99–2
(Reconciliation);
• Application Cover Letter (Initial
and Reconciliation) is now Application
Cover Letter (Initial) and Application
Cover Letter (Reconciliation)
• Exhibit 2 (Initial, Resident FTE
Assessment, Reconciliation) is now
Exhibit 2 (Initial and Reconciliation)
and Exhibit 2 (FTE Resident
Assessment);
• Exhibit 3 (Initial, Resident FTE
Assessment, Reconciliation) is now
Exhibit 3 (Initial and Reconciliation)
and Exhibit 3 (FTE Resident
Assessment); and
• Exhibit 4 (Initial, Resident FTE
Assessment, Reconciliation) is now
Exhibit 4 (Initial and Reconciliation)
and Exhibit 4 (FTE Resident
Assessment).
Based on this same feedback, the
burden hours for a number of forms was
revised which resulted in an increase in
burden hours from 8,018.40 hours as
published in the 60-day Federal
Register notice to 8,197.80 hours.
Likely Respondents: Hospitals
applying for and receiving CHGME
funds and fiscal intermediaries auditing
data submitted by the hospitals
receiving CHGME funds.
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.
