The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Information Collection Request Title: Health Center Program Forms, OMB No. 0915-0285—Revision.

Abstract: The Health Center Program, administered by HRSA, is authorized under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 254b). Health centers are patient-directed organizations that deliver affordable, accessible, quality, and cost-effective primary health care services to patients and adjust fees based on income and family size. Nearly 1,400 health centers operate more than 16,000 service delivery sites that provide primary health care to more than 32 million people in every U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Pacific Basin. HRSA uses forms for new and existing health centers and other entities to apply for various grant and non-grant opportunities, renew grant and non-grant designations, report progress, and change their scope of project.

A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on December 15, 2025, vol. 90, No. 238; pp. 58019-21. There was one comment. The commenter noted that tracking and managing service areas defined by Form 5B ZIP codes is complex when a health center uses the Health Center Program forms. In response, HRSA is currently exploring improvements to the Health Center Program GeoCare Navigator to help health centers better visualize their service area prior to requesting changes to their service area.

Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Health Center Program-specific forms are necessary for award processes and oversight of the Health Center Program and other relevant programs. These forms provide HRSA staff and merit review panels with the information essential for application evaluation, funding recommendation and approval, designation, and monitoring. These forms also provide HRSA staff with information essential for evaluating compliance with Health Center Program statutory and regulatory requirements. The current forms will expire April 30, 2026, and this input will inform edits and updates to the Health Center Program's information collection and reporting. HRSA intends to make several changes to its forms.

HRSA will modify the following forms to update and clarify data currently being collected:

Form No./name Description of modifications
Form 1A: General Information Worksheet Updated response options and text; aligned classification to the current process; removed the visit-count field.
Form 2: Staffing Profile Moved to FTE counts; standardized staffing categories.
Form 3: Income Analysis Question updates with targeted adds/removals.
Form 5A: Services Provided Updated labels and categories of services.
Form 5B: Sites (previously “Service Sites”) Modified fields collecting site information.
Form 6A: Current Board Member Characteristics Removed patient board member characteristics section.
Form 12: Organization Contacts Consolidated contact information; kept two key contacts.
Checklist for Adding a New Service Revised checklist statements and questions.
Checklist for Adding a New Service Delivery Site Revised checklist statements and questions.
Checklist for Deleting Existing Service Revised checklist statements and questions.
Checklist for Deleting Existing Service Delivery Site Revised checklist statements and questions.
HCCN Progress Report Clarified and updated objectives; reduced the total number of objectives.
Impact Form (previously “Expanded Services Patient Impact”) Streamlined form to request generic information based on the Notice of Funding Opportunity.
Loan Guarantee Program Financial Performance Measures (previously: Financial Performance Indicators) Three questions removed.
NHHCIA NCC Clinical Performance Measures Minor language updates; no content changes.
NHHCIA NCC Financial Performance Measures Minor language updates; no content changes.
NHHCIA NCC Income Analysis Form Question updates with targeted adds/removals.

Project Cover Page Minor language updates; no content changes.
Project Narrative Update Minor language updates; no content changes.
Project Overview Form Converted to a generic form usable across funding opportunities; updated questions.
Project Qualification Criteria Removed 3 questions.
Project Work Plan Updated to indicate which questions are for PCAs vs NTAPs. Updated minor language updates.
Quality Improvement Fund (QIF) Evaluative Measures Report Minor language updates; no content changes.
QIF Progress Report Minor language updates; no content changes.
QIF Project Plan Form Converted to a generic form usable across funding opportunities; updated questions.
Summary Page (Service Area Competition) Aligned special medically underserved population terminology with statute; minor language updates.
( printed page 21507)
Summary Page (New Access Point) Aligned special medically underserved population terminology with statute; minor language updates.

HRSA will add the following forms necessary for data collection and change in scope requests to simplify the process:

  • Grant Number form
  • Checklist for Adding a Transitional Care in Carceral Setting Site to Scope
  • QIF Transitions in Care for Justice-Involved Populations Progress Report
  • QIF Transitions in Care for Justice-Involved Populations Evaluative Measures Report
  • LAL Cover page
  • Checklist for Form 5A Scope Adjustments
  • Checklist for Form 5B Scope Adjustments
    HRSA will remove the following forms to further streamline information collected by HRSA and reduce burden:

  • Applicant Qualification Criteria Form

  • Checklist for Adding a New Target Population

  • Environmental Information and Documentation

  • Form 3A: Look-Alike Budget Information

  • Form 4: Community Characteristics

  • Fiscal Year 2020 Ending the HIV Epidemic Primary Care HIV Prevention PCHP Progress Reporting

  • HRSA EHBs Action Plan

  • Patient Impact Form

  • Patient Target and Calculations

  • Progress Report—Non-Capital Investments

  • Project Plan
    Likely Respondents: Health Center Program award recipients (those funded under section 330 of the Public Health Service Act) and Health Center Program look-alikes, state and national technical assistance organizations, and other organizations seeking funding.

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.
