Information Collection Request Title: The Teaching Health Center
Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program Eligible Resident/Fellow
FTE Chart OMB No. 0915-0367--Revision
Abstract: The THCGME Program, section 340H of the Public Health
Service Act, was established by section 5508 of Public Law 111-148. The
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L.116-260) and the American
Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2) provided continued funding for
the THCGME Program. The THCGME Program awards payment for both direct
and indirect expenses to support training for primary care residents in
community-based ambulatory patient care settings. The THCGME Program
Eligible Resident/Fellow FTE Chart, published in the THCGME Notice of
Funding Opportunity (NOFO), is a means for determining the number of
eligible resident/fellow full-time equivalents (FTEs) in an applicant's
primary care residency program. The FTE Chart revisions will now
collect the number of resident/fellow FTEs from previous academic years
and will further clarify the number of resident/fellow FTEs positions
requested with the NOFO application.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2022,
vol. 87, No. 121; pp. 37876. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The THCGME Program
Eligible Resident/Fellow FTE Chart requires applicants to provide: (a)
data related to the size and/or growth of the residency program over
previous academic years, (b) the number of residents enrolled in the
program during the baseline academic year, and (c) a projection of the
program's proposed expansion over the next 5 academic years. It is
imperative that applicants complete this chart to quantify the total
supported residents. THCGME funding is used to support expanded numbers
of residents in existing residency programs, to establish new residency
training programs, or to maintain filled positions at existing
residency training programs. Utilization of a chart to gather this
important information has decreased the number of errors in the
eligibility review process resulting in a more accurate review and
funding process, and this ICR comports with the regulatory requirement
imposed by 45 CFR 75.206(a) ``Standard application requirements,
including forms for applying for HHS financial assistance, and state
plans''.
Likely Respondents: Teaching Health Centers applying for THCGME
funding through a THCGME NOFO process, which may include new applicants
and existing awardees.
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
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
