Medical Education (THCGME) Program
Reconciliation Tool OMB No. 0915–
0342—Revision.
Abstract: The THCGME program,
authorized by section 340H of the
Public Health Service Act, was
established by section 5508 of Public
Law 111–148. The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116–
260) and the American Rescue Plan Act
of 2021 (Pub. L. 117–2) provide
continued funding for the THCGME
Program.
The THCGME program awards
payment for both direct and indirect
expenses to support training for primary
care residents in community-based
ambulatory patient care settings. Direct
expense payments are designed to
compensate eligible teaching health
centers for those expenses directly
associated with sponsoring resident
training programs, while indirect
expense payments are intended to
compensate for the additional costs
relating to teaching residents in such
programs.
HRSA collects information from
THCGME program award recipients
using an OMB-approved reconciliation
tool. HRSA seeks to extend its approved
information collection and is increasing
the total estimated annual burden hours
associated with the collection, due to an
increase in the number of program
award recipients from 58 to 83. A 60day notice published in the Federal
Register, 87 FR 76204–05 (December 13,
2022). There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: THCGME program
payments are prospective payments,
and the statute provides for a
reconciliation process, through which
overpayments may be recouped and
underpayments may be adjusted at the
end of the fiscal year. This data
collection instrument will gather
information relating to the number of
resident full-time equivalents in
Teaching Health Center training
programs in order to reconcile payments
for both direct and indirect expenses.
Likely Respondents: The likely
respondents to the THCGME
Reconciliation Tool are THCGME
program award recipients.
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

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

HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected, and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Physical Activity Guidelines for
Americans (Guidelines) provides
science-based recommendations on how
physical activity can help promote
health and reduce the risk of chronic
disease. The Guidelines serves as the
benchmark and primary, authoritative
voice of the federal government for
providing science-based guidance on
physical activity, fitness, and health in
the United States. The U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS)
released the first edition in 2008 and the
second edition in 2018. In 2013, HHS
released a midcourse report highlighting
strategies to increase physical activity
among youth. The Guidelines and
related reports are available at
www.health.gov/paguidelines.
This Midcourse Report aligns with
pillar 4 of the National Strategy on
Hunger, Nutrition and Health: Support
Physical Activity for All and was
specifically noted as an action item,
‘‘HHS will release evidence-based
strategies to increase physical activity
among older adults.’’ The Office of
Disease Prevention and Health
Promotion (ODPHP) led the
development of this midcourse report,
focused on how to increase physical
activity levels among older adults, in
collaboration with the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
and the President’s Council on Sports,
Fitness & Nutrition (President’s
Council). Members of the public are
invited to review the draft Midcourse
Report on Older Adults (Midcourse
Report) and provide written comments.
Written Public Comments: Written
comments on the draft Midcourse
Report are encouraged from the public
and will be accepted through [INSERT

topic, but on the scientific justification
for the recommendation.
