Information Collection Request Title: The Teaching Health Center
Graduate Medical Education Program Eligible Resident or Fellow Full-
Time Equivalent Chart, OMB No. 0915-0367--Extension
Abstract: The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education
(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 or Fellow full-time equivalent (FTE) Chart, published in the
THCGME Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), is a means for determining
the number of eligible resident or fellow FTEs in an applicant's
primary care residency program. The FTE Chart revisions will continue
to collect the number of resident or fellow FTEs from previous academic
years and will continue to capture the number of resident or fellow
FTEs requested within the NOFO application.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The THCGME Program
Eligible Resident or 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. This ICR comports with the regulatory requirement
imposed by 45 CFR 75.206(a), ``[s]tandard 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
[[Page 22496]]
or other forms of information technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
