SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information Collection Request Title: Federal Tort Claims Act 
(FTCA) Program Deeming Application for Health Centers, OMB No. 0906-
XXXX-- NEW.
    Abstract: Section 224(g)-(n) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act 
(42 U.S.C. 233(g)-(n)), as amended, authorizes the ``deeming'' of 
entities receiving funds under section 330 of the PHS Act as PHS 
employees for the purposes of receiving Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) 
coverage. The Health Center Program is administered by HRSA. Health 
centers submit deeming applications to HRSA in the prescribed form and 
manner in order to obtain deemed PHS employee status, with the 
associated FTCA coverage.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Deeming applications must 
address certain specified criteria required by law in order for deeming 
determinations to be issued, and FTCA application forms are critical to 
HRSA's deeming determination process. These forms provide HRSA with the 
information essential for application evaluation and a deeming 
determination for the purposes of FTCA coverage. The application 
information is also used to determine whether a site visit is 
appropriate to assess issues relating to the health center's quality of 
care and to determine technical assistance needs.
    Likely Respondents: Respondents include Health Center Program funds 
recipients seeking deemed PHS employee status for purposes of FTCA 
coverage.
    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.
