                     Rural Access to Emergency Devices Grant Program OMB No. 0915-xxxx—[New] *Abstract:*
                     This program is authorized by the Public Health Improvement Act title IV—Cardiac Arrest Survival Act of 2000, subtitle B-Rural Access to Emergency Devices, section 413, (42 U.S.C. 254c (Note)) and the 
                    ( print page 9271)
                    Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act (Pub. L. 113-235). The purpose of this grant program is to: (1) Purchase automated external defibrillators (AEDs) that have been approved, or cleared for marketing, by the Food and Drug Administration; (2) provide defibrillator and basic life support training in automated external defibrillator usage through the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, or other nationally recognized training courses; and (3) place the AEDs in rural communities with local organizations. *Need and Proposed Use of the Information:*
                     For this program, performance measures were drafted to provide data useful to the program and to enable HRSA to provide aggregate program data required by Congress under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L.103-62). These measures cover the principal topic areas of interest to the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, including: (a) The number of counties served by the program; (b) the number of AEDs purchased and placed and the locations of the placements; (c) the number of training sessions and the number of individuals trained; (d) the number of times an AED is used and the outcome; and (e) the number of lay persons and first responders who administer CPR or use an AED on an individual. These measures will speak to the Office's progress toward meeting the set goals. *Likely Respondents:*
                     Rural Access to Emergency Devices Grant 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 Information Collection Request are summarized in the table below. Total Estimated Annualized burden hours: Form name
