Information Collection Request Title: 

Rural Health Care Services Outreach 

Program PIMS Measures OMB No. 

0906–0009—Revision 

Abstract: The Rural Health Care 

Services Outreach (Outreach) Program is 

authorized by Section 330A(e) of the 

Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 

254c(e)) to ‘‘promote rural health care 

services outreach by improving and 

expanding the delivery of health care 

services to include new and enhanced 

services in rural areas, through 

community engagement and evidencebased or innovative, evidence-informed 

models.’’ The goals for the Outreach 

Program are as follows: (1) Expand the 

delivery of health care services to 

include new and enhanced services 

exclusively in rural communities, (2) 

deliver health care services through a 

strong consortium, in which every 

consortium member organization is 

actively involved and engaged in the 

planning and delivery of services, (3) 

utilize community engagement and 

evidence-based or innovative, evidenceinformed model(s) in the delivery of 

health care services, and (4) improve 

population health, and demonstrate 

health outcomes and sustainability. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: The PIMS measures for the 

Outreach Program enable HRSA and the 

Federal Office of Rural Health Policy to 

capture awardee-level and aggregate 

data that illustrate the impact and scope 

of federal funding. The collection of this 

information helps further inform and 

substantiate the focus and objectives of 

the grant program. The measures 

encompass the following topics: (a) 

Access to care, (b) population 

demographics, (c) consortium/network, 

(d) sustainability, and (e) project 

specific domains. 

The proposed Outreach PIMS 

measures reflect an increase in the 

number of measures including the 

following: 

(1) The addition of project-specific 

measures related to the Healthy Rural 

Hometown Initiative (includes 17 

required and 20 optional measures for a 

total of 37 additional measures) 

applicable only to Outreach awardees 

who apply to be part of the Healthy 

Rural Hometown Initiative track 

(anticipated total of 16 out of 61 

awardees) to focus on one or more of the 

five causes of excess death in rural 

communities (heart disease, cancer, 

unintentional injury/substance use, 

chronic lower respiratory disease, and 

stroke); 

(2) addition of project-specific 

measures (3 additional measures) only 

applicable to Outreach Awardees with a 

focus on telehealth (anticipated total of 

15 out of 61 awardees); 

(3) the addition of social determinants 

of health measures (3 additional 

measures) only applicable to Outreach 

Awardees addressing social 

determinants of health as part of their 

grant funded activities (anticipated total 

of 15 out of 61 awardees); 

(4) the consolidation of the access to 

care measures from singular to 

composite measure format (currently 14, 

previously 16) applicable to all 

awardees (anticipated total of 61 

awardees); 

(5) removal of an outdated project 

specific measure (1 measure removed) 

applicable to awardees focused on 

childhood obesity; 

(6) removal of an outdated project 

specific applicable to awardees

providing clinical services (currently 7, 

previously 8) related to Healthy People 

2020 and; 

(7) removal of the outdated project 

specific Health Improvement Special 

Project measure (1 measure removed). 

In total, the proposed changes reflect 

the addition of 43 measures and the 

removal of 5 measures for an increase in 

measures by a total of 38 measures. Of 

these measures, 17 are required and 26 

are optional. All additional measures 

proposed are project specific (only 

applicable to anticipated total ranging 

from 15–16 out of 61 awardees). All 

measures will not be applicable to all 61 

respondents. Project specific measures 

will remain applicable only to Outreach 

Awardees focusing on the respective 

project specific topic. 

Likely Respondents: The respondents 

would be award recipients of the Rural 

Health Care Services Outreach Program. 

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; 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; train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; complete and review the 

collection of information; and transmit 

or otherwise disclose the information.

Information Collection Request Title: 

The Advisory Committee on Heritable 

Disorders in Newborns and Children’s 

Public Health System Assessment 

Surveys, OMB No. 0906–0014— 

Revision. 

Abstract: The purpose of the Public 

Health System Assessment Surveys is to 

inform the Advisory Committee on 

Heritable Disorders in Newborns and 

Children (Committee) on states’ ability 

to add newborn screening for particular 

conditions, including the feasibility, 

readiness, and overall capacity to screen 

for a new condition. 

The Committee was established under 

the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 

217a: Advisory councils or committees, 

and Title XI § 1111 (42 U.S.C. 300b-10). 

The purpose of the Committee is to 

provide the Secretary with 

recommendations, advice, and technical 

information regarding the most 

appropriate application of technologies, 

policies, guidelines, and standards for: 

(a) Effectively reducing morbidity and 

mortality in newborns and children 

having, or at risk for, heritable 

disorders; and (b) enhancing the ability 

of state and local health agencies to 

provide for newborn and child 

screening, counseling, and health care 

services for newborns and children 

having, or at risk for, heritable 

disorders. Specifically, the Committee 

makes systematic evidence-based 

recommendations on newborn screening 

for conditions that have the potential to 

change the health outcomes for 

newborns. 

The Committee tasks an external 

workgroup to conduct systematic 

evidence-based reviews for conditions 

being considered for addition to the 

Recommended Uniform Screening 

Panel, and their corresponding newborn 

screening test(s), confirmatory test(s), 

and treatment(s). Reviews also include 

an analysis of the benefits and harms of 

newborn screening for a selected 

condition at a population level and an 

assessment of state public health 

newborn screening programs’ ability to 

implement the screening of a new 

condition. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: The Committee’s Evidence 

Review Group administers the surveys 

to collect data from state newborn 

screening programs in the United States.
