Information Collection Request Title: National Practitioner Data Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care Practitioners—45 CFR Part 60 Regulations and Forms, OMB No. 0915–0126—Revision. Abstract: This is a request for a revision of OMB approval of the information collection contained in regulations found in 45 CFR part 60 governing the National Practitioner Data lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 Aug 21, 2023 Jkt 259001 Bank (NPDB) and the forms to be used in registering with, reporting information to, and requesting information from the NPDB. Administrative forms are also included to aid in monitoring compliance with federal reporting and querying requirements. Responsibility for NPDB implementation and operation resides in HRSA’s Bureau of Health Workforce. The intent of the NPDB is to improve the quality of health care by encouraging entities such as hospitals, state licensing boards, professional societies, and other eligible entities 1 providing health care services to identify and discipline those who engage in unprofessional behavior, and to restrict the ability of incompetent health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers to move from state to state without disclosure or discovery of previous damaging or incompetent performance. It also serves as a fraud and abuse clearinghouse for the reporting and disclosing of certain final adverse actions taken against health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers by health plans, federal agencies, and state agencies (excluding settlements in which no findings of liability have been made). Users of the NPDB include reporters (entities that are required to submit reports) and queriers (entities and individuals that are authorized to request information). The reporting forms, request for information forms (query forms), and administrative forms (used to monitor compliance) are accessed, completed, and submitted to the NPDB electronically through the NPDB website at https://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/. All reporting and querying is performed through the secure portal of this website. This revision proposes changes to improve navigation through the secure portal. 1 ‘‘Other eligible entities’’ that participate in the NPDB are defined in the provisions of Title IV, Section 1921, Section 1128E, and implementing regulations. In addition, a few federal agencies also participate with the NPDB through federal memorandums of understanding. Eligible entities are responsible for complying with all reporting and/or querying requirements that apply; some entities may qualify as more than one type of eligible entity. Each eligible entity must certify its eligibility in order to report to the NPDB, query the NPDB, or both. Information from the NPDB is available only to those entities specified as eligible in the statutes and regulations. Not all entities have the same reporting requirements or level of query access. PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The NPDB acts primarily as a flagging system; its principal purpose is to facilitate comprehensive review of practitioners’ professional credentials and background. Information is collected from, and disseminated to, eligible entities (entities that are entitled to query and/ or report to the NPDB as authorized in Title 45 CFR part 60 of the Code of Federal Regulations) on the following: (1) medical malpractice payments, (2) licensure actions taken by Boards of Medical Examiners, (3) state licensure and certification actions, (4) federal licensure and certification actions, (5) negative actions or findings taken by peer review organizations or private accreditation entities, (6) adverse actions taken against clinical privileges, (7) federal or state criminal convictions related to the delivery of a health care item or service, (8) civil judgments related to the delivery of a health care item or service, (9) exclusions from participation in federal or state health care programs, and (10) other adjudicated actions or decisions. It is intended for NPDB information to be considered with other relevant information in evaluating credentials of health care practitioners, providers, and suppliers. Likely Respondents: Eligible entities or individuals that are entitled to query and/or report to the NPDB as authorized in regulations found at 45 CFR part 60. 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.

ACTION: Notice of a HRSA-initiated supplemental award. AGENCY: HRSA is providing approximately $1.91 million in supplemental award funds under HRSA–22–074 in fiscal year 2023 to the recipient of the Infant-Toddler Court Program (ITCP)—National Resource Center (NRC) award, to support state and local capacity to implement the ITC approach at sites that previously received funding under HRSA–18–123 but that do not currently receive HRSA funding under HRSA–22–073 or HRSA– 22–074. It is also providing approximately $650,000 in SUMMARY: BILLING CODE 4165–15–P supplemental award funds under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to support ITC sites with high need and capacity to provide Medicaid redetermination navigation support to families.

ZERO TO THREE National Center for Infant, Toddler and Families, Inc ..... Justification: The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, included additional funds that are being used to support ITCs. HRSA understands guidance provided in House Report 117–403 to support the award of additional funds for the NRC to provide implementation support and subject matter expertise to ITC teams and to advance national-level reach and impact of the program, including via subaward funds to local ITC teams who previously received financial support and technical assistance under HRSA–18–123, which was in place in 2022. Both of these objectives will be accomplished through a supplement to the NRC. The planned supplemental award to the ITCP NRC aligns with the most recent funding opportunity (HRSA–22– 074) and program purpose outlined in the NOFO, which is ‘‘to continue and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:57 Aug 21, 2023 Jkt 259001 City, State expand research-based infant-toddler court teams to change child welfare practices and improve the early developmental health and well-being of infants, toddlers, and their families,’’ with primary goals to (1) build the capacity of state/territorial/tribal and local teams to implement the ITC approach and lead aligned communitydriven efforts to prevent and respond to child maltreatment; and (2) advance the evidence and national reach, impact, and sustainability of the ITC approach. Additional expectations of the NRC in HRSA–22–074 include that it will ‘‘lead and coordinate improvements nationwide to policy and practice in child welfare and early childhood systems’’ and ‘‘provide a range of tailored supports to states and local sites that implement the ITC approach’’ that ‘‘build upon previously-funded ITCP PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 DC Award amount $2.56 million (estimated). efforts’’ (e.g., funding awards under HRSA–18–123). Additionally, under the NOFO, the NRC advances the objective of increasing the spread, scale, and coordination of local ITC sites across States, Territories, jurisdictions, and Tribal nations. HRSA will award approximately $1.91 million to the current ITCP NRC recipient. This funding will enhance resource development, provision of subject matter expertise, the building of capacity to implement the ITC approach, further develop national-level partnerships, and provide subawards to local court teams that were previously funded under HRSA–18–123 (but not under HRSA–22–074/073), which will advance the national reach, impact, and sustainability of ITC teams.

    Information Collection Request Title: National Practitioner Data 
Bank for Adverse Information on Physicians and Other Health Care 
Practitioners--45 CFR Part 60 Regulations and Forms, OMB No. 0915-
0126--Revision.
    Abstract: This is a request for a revision of OMB approval of the 
information collection contained in regulations found in 45 CFR part 60 
governing the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) and the forms to 
be used in registering with, reporting information to, and requesting 
information from the NPDB. Administrative forms are also included to 
aid in monitoring compliance with federal reporting and querying 
requirements. Responsibility for NPDB implementation and operation 
resides in HRSA's Bureau of Health Workforce.
    The intent of the NPDB is to improve the quality of health care by 
encouraging entities such as hospitals, state licensing boards, 
professional societies, and other eligible entities \1\ providing 
health care services to identify and discipline those who engage in 
unprofessional behavior, and to restrict the ability of incompetent 
health care practitioners, providers, or suppliers to move from state 
to state without disclosure or discovery of previous damaging or 
incompetent performance. It also serves as a fraud and abuse 
clearinghouse for the reporting and disclosing of certain final adverse 
actions taken against health care practitioners, providers, or 
suppliers by health plans, federal agencies, and state agencies 
(excluding settlements in which no findings of liability have been 
made). Users of the NPDB include reporters (entities that are required 
to submit reports) and queriers (entities and individuals that are 
authorized to request information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``Other eligible entities'' that participate in the NPDB are 
defined in the provisions of Title IV, Section 1921, Section 1128E, 
and implementing regulations. In addition, a few federal agencies 
also participate with the NPDB through federal memorandums of 
understanding. Eligible entities are responsible for complying with 
all reporting and/or querying requirements that apply; some entities 
may qualify as more than one type of eligible entity. Each eligible 
entity must certify its eligibility in order to report to the NPDB, 
query the NPDB, or both. Information from the NPDB is available only 
to those entities specified as eligible in the statutes and 
regulations. Not all entities have the same reporting requirements 
or level of query access.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The reporting forms, request for information forms (query forms), 
and administrative forms (used to monitor compliance) are accessed, 
completed, and submitted to the NPDB electronically through the NPDB 
website at https://www.npdb.hrsa.gov/. All reporting and querying is 
performed through the secure portal of this website. This revision 
proposes changes to improve navigation through the secure portal.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The NPDB acts primarily 
as a flagging system; its principal purpose is to facilitate 
comprehensive review of practitioners' professional credentials and 
background. Information is collected from, and disseminated to, 
eligible entities (entities that are entitled to query and/or report to 
the NPDB as authorized in Title 45 CFR part 60 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations) on the following: (1) medical malpractice payments, (2) 
licensure actions taken by Boards of Medical Examiners, (3) state 
licensure and certification actions, (4) federal licensure and 
certification actions, (5) negative actions or findings taken by peer 
review organizations or private accreditation entities, (6) adverse 
actions taken against clinical privileges, (7) federal or state 
criminal convictions related to the delivery of a health care item or 
service, (8) civil judgments related to the delivery of a health care 
item or service, (9) exclusions from participation in federal or state 
health care programs, and (10) other adjudicated actions or decisions. 
It is intended for NPDB information to be considered with other 
relevant information in evaluating credentials of health care 
practitioners, providers, and suppliers.
    Likely Respondents: Eligible entities or individuals that are 
entitled to query and/or report to the NPDB as authorized in 
regulations found at 45 CFR part 60.
    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
