The Health Center Program Forms

0915-0285 Revision



A. JUSTIFICATION


1. Circumstances Making the Collection of Information Necessary


The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is requesting a revision of OMB approval for forms that are used by several Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) programs providing funding to serve medically underserved and vulnerable populations. The forms were previously approved under OMB number 0915-0285, Health Center Program Application Forms, and the current expiration date is September 30, 2016.


These forms are used to request funding under Section 330 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended; make changes to scope of project; become designated as Health Center Program look-alikes; and report on grant-funded activities. The revisions include the addition of seven forms and changes to previously approved forms. All revisions are documented below.


Health centers (those entities funded under Public Health Service Act section 330 and Health Center Program look-alikes) deliver comprehensive, high quality, cost-effective primary health care to patients regardless of their ability to pay.  Health centers are an essential primary care provider for America’s most vulnerable populations.  Health centers provide coordinated, comprehensive, and patient-centered primary and preventive health care. Nearly 1,400 health centers operate more than 9,800 service delivery sites that provide care in every U.S. State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin.


The Health Center Program is administered by HRSA’s Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC). BPHC uses the forms in this package to oversee the Health Center Program. Health Center Program-specific forms are critical to Health Center Program grant and non-grant award processes and for Health Center Program oversight. The purpose of these forms is to provide HRSA staff and objective review committee panels information essential for application evaluation, funding recommendation, approval, designation, and monitoring. These forms also provide HRSA staff with information essential for ensuring compliance with Health Center Program legislative and regulatory requirements. These application forms are used by existing health centers and other organizations to apply for various grant and non-grant opportunities, renew their grant or non-grant designation, and change their scope of project.


The Health Center Program projects using these include the following: New Access Points (NAP), Service Area Competition (SAC), Expanded Services and other supplemental funding opportunities, Non-Competing Continuation, Outreach and Enrollment (O&E), Quality Improvement, Capital Development, Health Center Planning, Primary Care Associations (PCA), National Cooperative Agreements (NCA), Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement, Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCN), Look-Alikes, and Change in Scope (CIS).



2. Purpose and Use of Information Collection


The purpose of these forms is to provide HRSA staff and objective review committee panels information essential for application evaluation, funding recommendation, approval, designation, and monitoring. These forms also provide HRSA staff with information essential for ensuring compliance with Health Center Program legislative and regulatory requirements. These application forms are used by existing health centers and other organizations to apply for various grant and non-grant opportunities, renew their grant or non-grant designation, and change their scope of project.


Health centers use a combination of the application and monitoring forms to apply for and/or report progress on one or more of the following various opportunities:


  • NAP is a competitive application to receive support for new delivery sites to provide comprehensive primary and preventive health care services. NAPs can be either new starts that do not currently receive Health Center Program funding, or satellite sites of existing Health Center Program award recipients.

  • SAC is a competitive application for existing and new Health Center Program applicants to receive funding to support comprehensive primary health care services for an announced underserved service area.

  • Expanded Services funding supports increased access to comprehensive primary health care services at existing health center sites through expanded service hours, increased numbers of staff/providers, and increased availability of eligible services, including enabling, medical, oral health, behavioral health, pharmacy, and vision services.

  • Supplemental funding opportunities provide funding to existing Health Center Program award recipients to expand services in priority areas, such as behavioral health, oral health, and substance abuse services, and responding to emerging health care crises such as Zika virus.

  • Non-Competing Continuations are progress reports from Health Center Program award recipients to ensure they are meeting program requirements and expectations.

  • O&E is funding for Health Center Program award recipients to expand current outreach and enrollment assistance activities and facilitate enrollment of eligible health center patients and service area residents into affordable health insurance coverage.

  • Quality Improvement supplemental funding supports quality of care, access to services, and reimbursement opportunities for health centers by supporting the costs associated with enhancing quality improvement systems and becoming patient-centered medical homes.

  • Capital Development funding opportunities provide funding for construction, renovation, repair, and/or improvement of health center service delivery sites.

  • Health Center Planning funding opportunities provide support to organizations that are in the planning and development stages for a comprehensive primary health care center. 

  • PCA cooperative agreements with state and regional organizations provide training and technical assistance to potential and existing health centers.

  • NCA cooperative agreements provide funding to national organizations that help health centers and look-alikes meet program requirements and improve performance. NCAs also support Health Center Program development and conduct national analyses around legislatively-mandated special populations, vulnerable populations, and underserved communities.

  • Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement is a Congressional special initiative in support of the Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems to improve the provision of comprehensive disease prevention, health promotion, and primary care services to Native Hawaiians.

  • HCCN is a competitive application for organizations that support health centers in achieving meaningful use of ONC-certified electronic health records, adopting technology-enabled quality improvement strategies, and engaging in health information exchange to strengthen the quality of care and improve patient health outcomes.

  • Look-Alike applications support organizations seeking initial designation, renewal of designation, or re-certification as a Look-Alike. Look-Alikes must meet all Health Center Program requirements, but they do not receive grant funding.

  • CIS requests are submitted by existing health centers to change the current approved scope of project related to services offered, sites, populations served, and other scope activities that require prior approval by HRSA.

3. Use of Improved Information Technology and Burden Reduction


The data collection forms are completed by applicants or grantees using a web based data collection system that is completely integrated with HRSA Electronic Handbooks (EHBs). The HRSA EHB provides authentication and authorization services to all applicants.


Application data can be submitted using standard web browsers through a Section 508 compliant user interface. The system presents users with electronic forms that clearly communicate what is required and provide assistance in the form of clear notes and error messages. Usability features such as auto-calculation and pre-population of data from prior year applications based on business rules prevent redundant data entry. Users are able to work on the forms in part, save them online and return to complete them later. Programming rules automatically check the data entered on forms to reduce inaccuracies and increase the likelihood that the data submitted meets the legislative and programmatic requirements. Applicants are provided with a summary of what is complete and what is incomplete, along with links to navigate to the appropriate sections to fix the identified incomplete parts.


4. Efforts to Identify Duplication of Use of Similar Information


The applicant information requested in these forms is unique to these Health Center Program initiatives and is not captured elsewhere. When applicants complete an application form, much of the information will be populated into later reporting and application forms to reduce duplicative manual data entry.


5. Impact on Small Businesses or Other Small Entities


This activity does not have a substantial impact on small entities or small businesses.


6. Consequences of Collecting the Information Less Frequently


If the information is not collected, the Bureau would be unable to make and/or properly monitor grant awards. The majority of the forms are completed only once every three years, to initiate each new project period. Noncompeting continuation or progress forms are collected within the project period for progress monitoring. The information collected is required in order to monitor the progress of the health centers and other awardees to ensure proper stewardship of federal funds and compliance with Section 330 Statute and Health Center Program requirements.


7. Special Circumstances Relating to the Guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.5


The request fully complies with the regulation.


8. Comments in Response to the Federal Register Notice/Outside Consultation


A 60-day Federal Register was published in the Federal Register on March 2, 2016 (Vol. 81, No. 41, pages 10875-10877). See https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-03-02/pdf/2016-04535.pdf. No comments were received.


The forms were provided to the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) for review of the materials regarding clarity and the estimate of annualized burden. The following individuals reviewed the forms and provided feedback:


National Association of Community Health Centers: 301-347-0400


Ted Henson, Director, Health Center Growth and Development; [email protected]


Shane Hickey, Senior Advisor, HIT Strategy and Innovation; [email protected]


Kathy McNamara, Associate Vice President, Clinical Affairs; [email protected]


Meg Meador, Director of Clinical Integration and Education; [email protected]


Cindy Thomas, Director, Leadership Training and Cooperative Agreement Management; [email protected]


Sofia Warden, Director, Integration and Education (Cancer); [email protected]


Gervean Williams, Director, Health Center Financial Training; [email protected]


Overwhelmingly, the feedback from these external stakeholders indicates that the forms are clear, data elements are appropriate, and the allocation of time to be spent on the forms is reasonable. Based on comments received, instructions were refined and burden estimates were increased for a few forms.



9. Explanation of any Payment/Gift to Respondents


Respondents will not receive any payments or gifts.


10. Assurance of Confidentiality Provided to Respondents


No assurance of confidentiality is made to the applicants. These applications specify the reporting of aggregate data on users and the services they receive, in addition to descriptive information about each grantee and its operations and financial systems. Grantee level data are covered under the Freedom of Information Act.


11. Justification for Sensitive Questions


There are no questions of a sensitive nature.


12. Estimates of Annualized Hour and Cost Burden


The type of respondent for all forms includes organizations such as health centers and state or national technical assistance organizations.

13. Estimates of other Total Annual Cost Burden to Respondents


Other than their time, there is no cost to respondents.


14. Annualized Cost to the Federal Government


The estimated annual cost to the government is approximately $171,586 (2 GS-11, 2 GS-12, 2 GS-13, 2 GS-14 FTE’s – 25% time of work) for reviewing the forms, and for processing and providing notification to applicants.


The annual estimated cost for creating and modifying the forms in the electronic system (Electronic Handbooks, EHBs) is $1,626,600.  This includes: 1) $1,191,000 for system development and enhancements, and 2) $435,600 for project management and support (Project Managers: 2.1 FTEs, Team Lead: 0.25 FTE, support: 2.1 contractors).


15. Explanation for Program Changes or Adjustments


The OMB Inventory currently contains 44,825 burden hours for this activity. This request is for 44,608 total burden hours, for a decrease of 217 hours. The decrease is due to program adjustments resulting from streamlining and automating data collection and reducing duplication of information requested across projects.


For this clearance request, each form is being submitted separately to accurately reflect the number of respondents per form. This results in a large total number of responses as each form is submitted as a single entity. This request includes an increase in the total number of responses from 32,450 to 35,566 and increase of 3,116 responses. This is due to the increase in the number of Health Center Program award recipients.


16. Plans for Tabulation, Publication, and Project Time Schedule


There are no current plans to publish, tabulate, or manipulate information collected with these forms.


17. Reason Display of OMB Expiration Date is Inappropriate


The OMB number and expiration date will be displayed on every page of every form.


18. Exceptions to Certification for Paperwork Reduction Act Submissions


There are no exceptions to the certification.

1 Wages for Medical and Health Services Managers are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016-17 Edition, Medical and Health Services Managers, at http://www.bls.gov/ooh/management/medical-and-health-services-managers.htm.
