Proposed Project: State-by-State Self Assessment of Trauma Care 
Systems--(NEW)

    The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes to 
collect baseline data from the 56 States and Territories on their 
current trauma care systems and self-identified unmet needs to achieve 
minimum standards for a comprehensive statewide trauma care program. 
This information will be used to establish a national strategy to 
assist in future grant opportunities to the States to improve or 
enhance their basic systems infrastructure in trauma care. The survey 
includes an assessment of trauma care systems, readiness to participate 
in disaster relief efforts, and infrastructure development needs. 
HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the Office of Rural 
Health Policy and the Department of Transportation's Emergency Medical 
Services Division are jointly administering this project. HRSA has 
included national performance measures for Trauma/EMS for this project 
in accordance with the requirements of the ``Government Performance and 
Results Act (GPRA) of 1993'' (Public Law 103-62). This act requires the 
establishment of measurable goals for Federal programs that can be 
reported as part of the budgetary process, thus linking funding 
decisions with performance.
    The estimated response burden is as follows:
