Information Collection Request Title:
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 is
collected in the HRSA Performance
Report for Grants and Cooperative
Agreements. Data collection activities
consisting of an annual progress and
annual performance report satisfy
statutory and programmatic
requirements for performance
measurement and evaluation (including
specific Title III, VII and VIII
requirements), as well as Government
Performance and Results Act of 1993
and the Government Performance and
Results Act Modernization Act of 2010
requirements. The performance
measures were last revised in 2019 to
ensure they addressed programmatic
changes, met evolving program
management needs, and responded to
emerging workforce concerns. As these
changes were successful, BHW will
continue with its current performance
management strategy and make only
minor changes that reduce burden,
simplify reporting, and reflect new
Department of Health and Human
Services and HRSA priorities as well as
elements to enable longitudinal analysis
of program performance. An Excel
upload feature will be implemented for
a majority of programs, disciplinerelated questions will be split into two
parts to make it easier for respondents
to find the appropriate answer, COVIDrelated questions are being added,
additional information is being
collected for telehealth, and additional
loan repayment questions are being
added.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The purpose of the
proposed data collection is to continue
analysis and reporting of grantee
training activities and education,
identify intended practice locations, and
report outcomes of funded initiatives.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 183 / Friday, September 24, 2021 / Notices
Data collected from these grant
programs will also provide a description
of the program activities of
approximately 1,630 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
diverse 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 underrepresented 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 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.

proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
