Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Health Resources 

and Services Administration (HRSA) 

publishes abstracts of information 

collection requests under review by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of 

the clearance requests submitted to 

OMB for review, e-mail 

paperwork@hrsa.gov or call the HRSA 

Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443– 

1129. 

The following request has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget for review under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: 

Proposed Project: Rural Health 

Community-Based Grant Program 

(OMB No. 0915–0319)—[Revision] 

On May 20, 2008, OMB approved the 

agency’s request for the collection of 

data related to OMB No. 0915–0319 and 

set an expiration date of May 31, 2011. 

The agency is now proceeding to submit 

a revised package which will include 

program specific measures that grantees 

will have to collect and report on. The 

revisions will include measures that are 

aligned with the agency’s updated 

clinical measures. There are currently 

six rural health grant programs that 

operate under the authority of Section 

301 of the Public Health Service (PHS) 

Act. These programs include: (1) Rural 

Health Care Services Outreach Grant 

Program (Outreach); (2) Rural Health 

Network Development Grant Program 

(Network Development); (3) Small 

Healthcare Provider Quality Grant 

Program (Quality); (4) Delta States Rural 

Development Network Grant Program 

(Delta); (5) Rural Health Network 

Planning Grant Program (Network 

Planning) and; (6) Rural Health 

Workforce Development Grant Program 

(Workforce). These grants are to provide 

expanded delivery of health care 

services in rural areas, for the planning 

and implementation of integrated health 

care networks in rural areas, and for the 

planning and implementation quality 

improvement and workforce activities. 

For these programs, performance 

measures were drafted to provide data 

useful to the programs and to enable 

HRSA to provide aggregate program data 

required by Congress under the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) of 1993. These measures 

cover the principal topic areas of 

interest to ORHP, including: (a) Access 

to care; (b) the underinsured and 

uninsured; (c) workforce recruitment 

and retention; (d) sustainability; (e) 

health information technology; (f) 

network development; and, (g) health 

related clinical measures. Several 

measures will be used for all six 

programs. All measures will speak to 

the Office of Rural Health Policy’s 

progress toward meeting its goals.
