    Information Collection Request Title: Reconciliation Tool for the 
Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Program, OMB No. 
0915-0342--Extension
    Abstract: The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education 
(THCGME) program, as authorized by section 340H of the Public Health 
Service (PHS) Act, awards payment for both direct and indirect expenses 
to support training for primary care residents in community based 
ambulatory patient care settings. Direct medical expenses payments are 
designed to compensate eligible teaching health centers for those 
expenses directly associated with resident training, while indirect 
medical expenses payments are intended to compensate for the additional 
costs of training residents in such programs.
    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 underpayments 
may be adjusted at the end of the fiscal year. This data collection 
instrument gathers information relating to the number of resident full-
time equivalents (FTEs) in THC training programs in order to reconcile 
payments for both direct and indirect expenses.
    Likely Respondents: The likely responders 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.
