Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection:
Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public law 104-13), the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects
being developed for submission to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995. To request more information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, call
the HRSA Reports Clearance officer on (301) 443-1891.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance on the functions of
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information;
[[Page 47849]]
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
Proposed Project: HRSA Competing Training Grant Application,
Instructions and Related Regulations (OMB No. 0915-0060)--Revision
The Health Resources and Services Administration uses the
information in the application to determine the eligibility of
applicants for awards, to calculate the amount of each award, and to
judge the relative merit of applications. The form is distributed
electronically via the Internet. The budget is negotiated for all years
of the project period based on this application and program-specific
instructions that include greater standardization of content for the
project summary and the detailed description of the project.
The Bureau of Health Professions is planning to remove from the
Code of Federal Regulations the existing training grant regulations
under 42 CFR parts 57 and 58. It is the intent of the Department to
operate under the new statute for compliance, implementation, and
administration of the training grant programs under titles VII and VIII
of the PHS Act. The existing regulations are fundamentally and
extensively inconsistent with the new law which takes an
interdisciplinary approach (and thus inhibits the achievement of the
statute's objectives). Program specific guidance and information for
preparing applications are now provided in the grant application
materials (which makes them now self-contained).
The estimated annual burden for the application is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Responses per Hours per Total burden
Requirement respondents respondent response hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application................................. 1,190 1 56.25 66,938

MD 20857. Written comments should be received within 60 days of this
notice.
Dated: August 26, 1999.
