Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection: Comment Request

In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects being developed for submission to OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data collection plans and draft instruments, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-1129.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Proposed Project: State-by-State Self Assessment of Trauma Care Systems--(NEW)

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) proposes to collect baseline data from the 56 States and Territories on their current trauma care systems and self-identified unmet needs to achieve minimum standards for a comprehensive statewide trauma care program. This information will be used to establish a national strategy to assist in future grant opportunities to the States to improve or enhance their basic systems infrastructure in trauma care. The HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the Office of Rural Health Policy and the Department of Transportation's Emergency Medical Services Division are jointly administering this project. HRSA has included national performance measures for Trauma/EMS for this project in accordance with the requirements of the ``Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993'' (Pub. L. 103-62). This act requires the establishment of measurable goals for Federal programs that can be reported as part of the budgetary process, thus linking funding decisions with performance.

The estimated response burden is as follows:
