Abstract:
The Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) Program, Section 340H of the Public Health Service Act, was established by Section 5508 of Public Law 111–148. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-123) provided continued funding for the THCGME Program for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-94) extends funding for the THCGME program until May 22, 2020. The THCGME Program awards payment for both direct and indirect expenses to support training for primary care residents in community-based ambulatory patient care settings. THCGME payments are prospective payments and the statute provides for a reconciliation process, through which overpayments may be recouped. This data collection tool will gather information relating to THCGME-supported resident FTEs in order to reconcile payments. The likely responders are existing THCGME awardees.

Short Statement:
Although there are no revisions to the form itself the burden is increasing as there are more awardees for the program. The proposed increase is due to an increase in the number of program award recipients as well as the average burden per response. Grant recipient burden hours can vary greatly based on the number of their awarded resident full-time equivalents. Some commenters on the 60-day FRN indicated the average burden response was too low, the average burden was increased to take into account larger award recipients. HRSA adjusted the burden hours to reflect grant recipients with smallest and largest awarded resident FTEs within calculated average.
