    Abstract: The Program Management Resource Compendium project will 
encompass an historical analysis of HRSA's Bureau of Primary Health 
Care (BPHC), as well as a historical analysis of the Health Center 
Program, performed by federal contractors. Dating from the founding of 
the initial community health centers in the mid-1960s up to the present 
time, the analysis will consider the evolution and critical milestones 
of BPHC and the Health Center Program based on documentary research and 
interviews with individuals with historical knowledge of the Health 
Center Program and the health center movement.
    A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register (86 FR 30962 
(June 10, 2021). There were no public comments.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The information gathered 
through interviews will be combined with information drawn from 
documentary research to inform the historical analysis. The results of 
the analysis will be presented in communication products for an 
internal audience, as well as products for an external audience. The 
goals of the project are to increase awareness of the Health Center 
Program management

[[Page 52690]]

within the government and among the general public, as well as to 
inform BPHC's future development by analyzing and drawing lessons from 
its earlier administration of the Health Center Program.
    Likely Respondents: Interviews are expected with current and former 
BPHC employees, as well as representatives of the National Association 
of Community Health Centers, other national organizations, state and 
regional Primary Care Associations, and HRSA-funded health centers. A 
list of possible interviewees has been compiled with input by current 
and former HRSA leadership and staff. A total of 35-50 interviews are 
expected.
    Interviews will be conducted virtually by a trained moderator and 
note taker, using a structured in-depth interview guide. Each interview 
is expected to last approximately one hour. It is also anticipated that 
interviewees may spend up to 15 minutes preparing for their interviews, 
for example by reviewing historical files. Signed consent forms 
regarding participation and the use of recording devices during the 
interview will be obtained from each participant prior to their 
participation in the interviews. The in-depth interview guide is 
available upon request.
