DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: ``Health Care and Other Facilities'' Project Status
Update Form: NEW
The Health Resources and Services Administration's Health Care and
Other Facilities (HCOF) program provides earmarked funds to health-
related
[[Page 37249]]
facilities for construction-related activities and/or capital equipment
purchases. Awarded facilities are required to provide a periodic
(quarterly for construction-related projects, annually for equipment
only projects) update of the status of the funded project until it is
completed. The monitoring period averages about 3 years, although some
projects take up to 5 years to complete. The information collected from
these updates is vital to program management staff to determine whether
projects are progressing according to the established timeframes,
meeting deadlines established in the Notice of Grant Award (NGA), and
drawing down funds appropriately. The data collected from the updates
is also shared with the Division of Grants Management Operations (DGMO)
and the Division of Engineering Services (DES) for their assistance in
the overall evaluation of each project's progress.
An electronic form has been developed for progress reporting for
the HCOF program. This form will provide awardees access to directly
input the required status update information in a timely, consistent,
and uniform manner. The electronic form will minimize burden to
respondents and will inform respondents when there are missing data
elements prior to submission.
The estimate of burden for the form is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Response per Total Hours per Total burden
Project type respondents respondent responses response hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construction-Related............ 395 4 1,580 .5 790
Equipment Only.................. 523 1 523 .5 262
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total....................... 918 .............. 2,103 .............. 1,052
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to:
Karen Matsuoka, Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of
Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503.
Dated: June 28, 2007.
Caroline Lewis,
Associate Administrator for Management.
