Rural Housing Service 

Title: American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 

Emergency Rural Health Care Grant 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0575–0200. 

Summary of Collection: On March 11, 

2021, the President signed the American 

Rescue Plan Act that appropriated $500 

million in grant funding for the 

establishment of an Emergency Pilot 

Program for eligible Community 

Facilities (CF) applicants and eligible 

CF facilities to assist rural hospitals and 

local communities broaden access to 

COVID–19 vaccines, health care 

services, and food assistance through 

food banks and food distribution 

facilities, and projects supporting the 

long-term sustainability of rural health 

care. Making these funds available 

through the issuance of this NOFA, as 

authorized in Section 1002 of the 

American Rescue Plan Act, will provide 

funding to eligible applicants to offer 

support for rural health care services in 

the form of immediate relief, and longerterm funding to advance ideas and 

solutions to support the long-term 

sustainability of rural health and 

provide expeditious relief to address the 

current economic conditions arising 

from the COVID–19 emergency. 

Community Facilities Programs, a 

division of the Rural Housing Service 

(RHS), hereinafter referred to as Agency, 

is part of the United States Department 

of Agriculture’s Rural Development 

mission area. The Agency is authorized 

by Section 306(a) of the Consolidated 

Farm and Rural Development Act (7 

U.S.C. 1926), as amended, to make 

grants to public agencies, nonprofit 

corporations, and Indian tribes to 

develop essential community facilities 

and services for public use in rural 

areas. The Emergency Rural Health Care 

Grant NOFA outlines the policies and 

responsibilities, including the collection 

and use of information necessary to 

effectively implement this program. 

Need and Use of the Information: This 

information is used to determine 

whether applicants meet the eligibility 

requirements to be a recipient of grant 

funds, determine project eligibility, 

conduct technical evaluation, calculate 

a priority score, and rank and compete 

the application, as applicable, in order 

to be considered. Lack of adequate 

information to make the determination 

could result in the improper 

administration and appropriation of the 

Federal grant funds. 

Applications are submitted through 

the applicable USDA Rural 

Development State Office. 

Description of Respondents: State, 

Local, or Tribal Government. 

Number of Respondents: 1,092. 

Frequency of Responses: Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 71,681.
