Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301)-443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) and Health
Education Training Centers (HETC): Managed Care Inventory Project--
New--Section 746(a) of the Public Health Service Act authorizes Federal
assistance to schools of medicine (allopathic and osteopathic) which
have cooperative arrangements with one or more public or nonprofit
private area health education centers (AHECs) for the planning,
development and operation of area health education center programs.
Section 746(f) of the PHS Act authorizes Federal assistance to schools
of allopathic and osteopathic medicine, or parent institutions on
behalf of such schools, or a consortium of such schools to plan,
develop, establish, maintain or operate HETCs. The support is designed
to improve the supply, distribution, quality, and efficiency of (a)
personnel providing health services in the State of Florida or along
the border between the United States and Mexico and (b) personnel
providing, in other urban and rural areas of the U.S., health services
to any population group, including Hispanic individuals and recent
refugees, that have demonstrated serious health care needs. Program
support is also used to encourage health promotion and disease
prevention through public education.
A telephone survey is proposed of federally funded AHEC and HETC
programs to determine the variety and

extent of managed care training activities that are ongoing or planned
in the near future. The survey results will be used to formulate
recommendations for managed care training, and to help guide the AHEC/
HETCs in planning and directing training programs and clinical
experience in managed care. The burden estimates are as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
