Information Collection Request Title: The Teaching Health Center
Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program Reconciliation Tool OMB No.
0915-0342--Revision.
Abstract: The THCGME program, authorized by Section 340H of the
Public Health Service Act, was established by Section 5508 of Public
Law 111-148. The Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions
Act, 2025 (Pub. L. 119-4) provide continued funding for the THCGME
program.
The THCGME payments support training for primary care residents in
community-based ambulatory patient care settings. HRSA collects
information from THCGME program award recipients using an OMB-approved
reconciliation tool. HRSA seeks to extend its approved information
collection and is increasing the total estimated annual burden hours
associated with the collection, due to an increase in the number of
program award recipients from 83 to 87.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: THCGME program payments
are prospective payments, and the statute provides for a reconciliation
process, through which overpayments may be recouped, and adjustments
made, at the end of the fiscal year. This data collection instrument
will gather information relating to the number of resident full-time
equivalents in Teaching Health Center training programs to reconcile
payments.
Likely Respondents: The likely respondents to the THCGME
Reconciliation Tool are THCGME program award recipients.
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.

Director, Executive Secretariat.
